A small town in North Carolina has taken a bold step, filing the first climate “deception” lawsuit against an electric utility in the United States. In a civil lawsuit, the Town Council of Carrboro accuses Duke Energy, one of the largest power companies in the United States, of orchestrating a decades-long campaign of denialism and cover up over the dangers of fossil fuel emissions.
