Duke Energy Corp. is targeting a 2026 construction start for a new natural gas plant in Catawba County, according to a filing with the N.C. Utilities Commission.

‘Kind of monopolizing’: Duke Energy faces pushback over higher electricity bills

The Charlotte-based energy giant applied last week to build two 425-megawatt, natural gas-powered combustion turbines at the Marshall Steam Station site on Lake Norman. The new hydrogen-capable gas units will aid the company’s plans to retire the longstanding coal-powered operations at the Marshall site.

Duke hopes to open the new natural gas units by 2029, NCUC filings show. The project is part of the company’s larger plan to reduce its carbon emissions while keeping up with rising energy demand.

Creators of Sora-powered short explain AI-generated video's strengths and limitations
OpenAI's video generation tool Sora took the AI community by surprise in February with fluid, realistic video that seems miles ahead of competitors. Shy Kids is a digital production team based in Toronto that was picked by OpenAI as one of a few to produce short films essentially for OpenAI promotional purposes, though they were given considerable creative freedom in creating "air head." In an interview with visual effects news outlet fxguide, post-production artist Patrick Cederberg described "actually using Sora" as part of his work. Perhaps the most important takeaway for most is simply this: While OpenAI's post highlighting the shorts lets the reader assume they more or less emerged fully formed from Sora, the reality is that these were professional productions, complete with robust storyboarding, editing, color correction, and post work like rotoscoping and VFX.
