The outbreak, which originated in Cleveland County, originated at a Sept. 7 barbecue attended by as many as 5,000 people. In the days following, people started showing up at local hospitals with symptoms of salmonella—which can include diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain—all of which were linked to the barbecue. As of Wednesday, 103 cases have been reported, almost all in Rutherford and Cleveland counties approximately 50 miles from Charlotte. Health experts believe it is very unlikely that the outbreak will spread to the Durham area.
Together, the 50 American plants with the highest emissions account for more than 2 percent of the world’s total carbon dioxide emissions. In North Carolina, the Marshall plant near Lake Norman, the Belews Creek plant near Winston-Salem and the Roxboro plant in Semora make the list. Each plant is a large coal-fired steam plant run by Duke Energy. While the plants are not especially inefficient, their size and fuel type causes them to be major greenhouse gas emitters. The new report does not detail a path to replacing these plants, which accommodate large portions of North Carolina’s power usage.
