NC’s 26 electric cooperatives believe in working toward a sustainable future, but doing so while championing reliable, affordable power on behalf of the state’s 2.5 million cooperative members. So we’re working with national partners to push back against new EPA rules that will sacrifice reliability and affordability. #reliablepower #affordablepower #ncelectriccooperatives https://bit.ly/4bT1chf

According to the NRECA, the EPA announcement on power plant regulations raises significant concerns about our nation's energy landscape. The rule outlined is unlawful, unrealistic, and unachievable. As electricity demand grows and supply fails to keep up, bad public policy is making the problem worse. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/47rhc8s #ReliablePower https://bit.ly/3UyHqBD

It is only the start of unreliable power unless we get a better transition plan. https://lnkd.in/gWqmYHt3

The EPA’s power plant rule jeopardizes the ability of rural electric cooperatives to keep the lights on at a cost consumers can afford. Because cooperatives must make business decisions now to comply with the rule, it will have immediate and irreparable consequences.

Think Inside The Box

Site engineers must always assess the risk of intended excavations before hand by first analyzing the soil profile and to know whether the trench walls with its depth would prevent itself from subsidence. In most cases it would not. Then the placement of trench protection boxes are highly recommeneded before allowing any kind of human presence to enter the trench hole. Think ahead, so you can keep it safe!
