Duke Energy and Data Center Costs | Winston–Salem News

North Carolina’s Attorney General is demanding Duke Energy go beyond promises and commit to a legally binding tariff for data centers—massive energy users that can drive up electricity costs for everyone. While Duke signed a federal pledge to responsibly manage power needs, Attorney General Jeff Jackson insists on state-level oversight to ensure these giants pay their fair share and help keep rates stable for regular customers. With towns across the state banning or pausing new data center projects, the pressure is mounting for a transparent, accountable energy pricing system that protects everyday ratepayers.

North Carolina Pushes Hemp Ban | Winston–Salem News

North Carolina’s law enforcement and prosecutor groups are sounding the alarm, urging lawmakers to pass a sweeping hemp bill before the session ends — or risk letting intoxicating THC products flood the market unchecked. The controversial conference report, already approved by the Senate, would ban any hemp product with over 0.4mg of THC per container — a threshold that would effectively outlaw most current offerings — and prohibit sales to anyone under 21. Critics argue the bill’s real aim is to crush the hemp industry, while supporters insist it’s a necessary shield for kids. With the House needing more time to review, the fate of the bill hangs in the balance — and law enforcement says the stakes are too high to delay.
