As I have written about on innumerable occasions in the past, the Democrats seem to do things which inevitably hit the poor the hardest. Our current Biden caused inflation is just the most recent example of “save the world … the poor be damned!”
From Townhall:
“Duke Energy, a company that enjoys what is a near-monopoly on energy in North Carolina, is the target of a new campaign from Consumers’ Research for its pursuit of woke ESG — environmental, social and governance — policies that have come at the expense of the company’s customers in the form of higher energy costs amid already rampant inflation.
You see, while pursuing “net-zero” emissions goals, Duke Energy has moved away from reliable and affordable sources of energy to more costly and less-reliable wind and solar sources, leading the company to repeatedly — and predictably — raise rates for customers while warning them of more cost increases on the horizon.
Rather than pursuing cheaper forms of energy to help ease costs that already soared as a result of President Joe Biden and the Democrats’ work to kill off American energy independence, Duke Energy is apparently choosing ESG over its customers. Meanwhile, as something of a warped reward for executives, making energy more expensive for customers means Duke Energy’s leadership is taking home more money.”
Now who do you think are going to suffer the most when their utility bills go up and up? But the far left executives of Duke Energy just continue to go further to the left.
Keep in mind that this ESG propaganda is just the beginning.
Again from Townhall:
“While making customers pay more for less-reliable energy, ‘Duke brags openly about setting racial and gender quotas for their workforce’ to ‘increase diversity across all workforce segments’ by seeking to hire individuals based on their gender and skin color.”
Instead of hiring based on qualifications, hire based on diversity! How will that work out? All this will do is further increase the costs to the consumers … and which consumers will be hurt the most? … Guess!
