Lawmakers say they have limited influence over power line decision
North Carolina legislators Apodaca McGrady and Whitmire say their leverage over Duke Energy’s transmission project is limited as the state and federal commissions hold authority. They urge using existing right of way crossing Green River Gamelands and oppose burying the line. They note widespread resident input and the plant’s role in meeting Western NC electricity needs amid debates about a new gas plant replacing Lake Julian coal.
