1. I hope they get a nice boat out of the deal

2. I'm sure their customers will be happy to pay for the cleanup.

Maybe give them a bonus for doing such a good job.

3. Many of their customers...

...are the ones that elected the Republicans who made sure that Duke energy won't have to pay for the cleanup!

Votes have consequences...now all North Carolinans will suffer, because friends, family, and neighbors voted for god, guns, and pats on the head!!!

10. I've lived in NC all my life.

The election of 2010 screwed this state. All the racists came out to vote and all the young people stayed home. The state got gerrymandered to hell and we haven't come back since.

5. Its a Good Thing Duke Energy Bought All Those Republican Politicians to Hide Behind

6. Coal ash + pig & chicken fecal&urine+dead animal in the water

And an infective FEMA & EPA response. Those people are screwed.
