Show Duke How You Feel!!
Saturday, August 8, 5 pm
A gathering of concerned citizens will take place onSaturday, August 8, 2015 at 5 pm.
This gathering is to demonstrate to Duke Energy that we, the citizens of the Carolina Foothills and Mountains, are appalled that Duke would consider RAPING our beautiful area with the installation of a huge substation and 45 miles of high voltage transmission lines mounted on monster towers.
The gathering will take place off of Hwy 11 at Exit 5 of I-26. With permission, we will surround the proposed substation site along private property lines adjoining the Duke property.
This is to be a peaceful yet strongly visible Flash Mob Style Protest. Participants are asked to wear neon green or yellow t-shirts for visibility on the aerial drone video footage. Carry signs expressing your feelings regarding this egregious issue. You may also like to carry a handheld mirror to flash a distress signal (3 flashes) to the video drone. It will also illustrate solar power.
