Information
Duke Energy wants to raise your bills 18%, in part to power big tech’s data centers. The NC Utilities Commission is holding a hearing June 3rd in Durham, to decide if they should let them. Join us for a fun rally and drag show before the hearing!
The real energy emergency: North Carolinians having to choose between paying the light bill and paying for food, medicine, or rent!
One reason your bills are so high?: NC electric bills are subsidizing power for big tech companies’ data centers.
What makes it even worse: Our money, water, & land are being consumed for for AI tools we don’t use, but are used for:
- Surveillance
- Wars
- Deporting our neighbors
Hear from incredible speakers & see an amazing drag show that tells the story of how data centers are raising our electric bills!
