Later that evening at 22:00 UTC, Rep. Castor addressed concerns about Duke Energy in a more detailed tweet. She criticized the company for seeking permission to increase pollution while neglecting cleaner energy alternatives following recent regulatory approval to raise electric bills. She described this situation as a "vicious cycle for customers," who face higher costs and environmental challenges while Duke Energy benefits financially "Duke Energy... pay more + suffer extreme events, while Duke makes off like https://t.co/yDPzIKAMau".
