The North Carolina Utilities Commission held a hearing on whether to allow the merger of Duke Energy and Piedmont Natural Gas – two energy giants. Duke is a publicly regulated utility whose members are appointed in part by Gov. Pat McCrory, a former Duke employee. This is seen by some as a conflict of interest. I worked with Greenpeace to create a newspaper ad to alert the public about the hearing and why the merger was not a good idea. I art directed, designed and helped write the text. The ad appeared in the Raleigh News & Observer as well as Indy Weekly.
