More than 20 student protesters interrupted Duke Energy’s CEO Lynn Good’s lecture in Nelson Hall Wednesday evening to denounce the company’s blockage of the Energy Freedom Act.
Halfway through the event, about 20 protesters stood up out of their seats, held up a sign that read “Duke Energy leading with dirty energy” and broke into chant, beginning by shouting “mic check.”
Unaffiliated audience members stood and clapped to drown out the chanting protesters as both students and faculty members ushered them out of the building.
The Energy Freedom Act would open up North Carolina energy markets to the third-party sale of electricity. The bill would also allow renewable-energy companies to build solar or wind-power systems on customer’s own property and bill customers directly for the electricity, even though they aren’t utilities.
On a side note, papers please! lol:
“Our initial reaction was, if they don’t have their chant papers, they can’t do the chants,” said Hamilton James, a junior in accounting and one of the student ambassadors that tried to handle the situation.  4/9/2015 2:02:51 PM
