Judge Tosses Climate Lawsuit Against Duke Energy

A North Carolina Business Court judge dismisses Carrboro's baseless climate lawsuit against Duke Energy, ruling it raises nonjusticiable political questions unfit for courts. The town absurdly blamed the utility for storm damage, alleging decades of misleading the public on fossil fuels and delaying green energy shifts. Judge Mark Davis slams the claims as imprecise conjecture, noting climate change stems from global emissions by billions, not one company.
