ACCCE Clean Coal Van Heads to Shelby, Gastonia and Charlotte Stressing the
Importance of Energy Issues in Upcoming Primary Election

WHAT:

statewide media and public education tour designed to increase awareness and
encourage dialogue among North Carolinians about the importance of energy
issues in the upcoming democratic primary and gubernatorial race. Because 60
percent of North Carolina's electricity comes from coal, ACCCE believes that
voters in the state need to challenge candidates to support the development
and funding of advanced clean coal technologies and protect the affordable and
reliable electricity from coal that plays a vital role in the state's growing
economy.
