North Carolina Gov. Cooper vetoes 2 more bills, but budget still on track to become law Tuesday

"The energy bill that Cooper vetoed would encourage more nuclear energy in North Carolina by including that the power produced from nuclear plants and fusion energy be counted toward percentages of electricity that utilities like Duke Energy must generate from renewable sources.

The bill would relabel "renewable energy resources" needed to meet the portfolio standards as "clean energy resources." Duke Energy already is proposing to state electricity regulators that some coal-fired plants going offline in the future be replaced with a smaller-scale nuclear plants."
