Should be noted that Duke Energy spilled a massive amount of coal ash into the river near Wilmington during hurricane Florence in 2018.

Also, dozens of pig waste ponds the size of football fields overflow and wind up in rivers during every hurricane as well. 33 of those overflowed during Florence. 46 in the storm before that.

Something tells me that North Carolina's conservatives are far less concerned about open-pit storage of hazardous waste than cars sold from an out of state dealer.

pig waste ponds mainly bother poor minority communities, so yeah, they count for less than the industry donors.
