I am deeply disappointed that Gov. Cooper vetoed SB 678, which will discourage projects such as conversion of the Belews Creek coal-fired plant to a cleaner, zero-emission, nuclear-powered energy source that would meet growing energy demands and provide economic development opportunities without compromising grid reliability or affordability. We have an opportunity in North Carolina to be energy independent like France and drive toward clean energy.
It was with great sadness that I heard of the passing of U.S. Sen. Lauch Faircloth. His career in public service spanned decades and his contributions to the people of North Carolina and the country were numerous. He brought attention to the importance of agriculture in our economy and made sure people knew food came from a farm, not a store. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family.
I am saddened to hear of the passing of Tommy Bunn. His contributions to agriculture policy both here in North Carolina and in Washington have left an indelible mark on farming and farming science across the country. My heart and prayers go out to the family and Secretary Marshall. As accomplished as she is, his strength as a public servant matched hers.
