We are setting a new standard for coal ash management and implementing smart, sustainable solutions for all of our ash basins.
-
We should be building more nuclear today.
-
I get energized around a plan - what's it going to be like in three months? Six months? You're not going to let it defeat you. You got to keep going.
-
I become the face of the company, and that's a responsibility.
-
I love nuclear.
-
If you keep an open mind, you can learn so much from the people around you.
-
Our nation's power plant fleet must include a mix of solar, wind, hydro, natural gas and nuclear plants.
-
There is growing demand for renewable energy.
-
When you are in a situation or a crisis, you need to define, what is the unique role that I can play?
-
At a certain career level, it's no longer about whether you are the smartest subject-matter expert in the room.
-
I believe that nuclear needs to be a part of the solution if the U.S. really wants to be aggressive about reducing carbon.
-
If you can, anticipate that life is going to be full of detours.
-
I think about trust and confidence as something that you earn every day, and we will keep at it, earning it every day.
-
If you feel like there is going to be an emotional reaction that won't be helpful to resolve the situation, anger or other things, disarm the situation in some way, and you can use different techniques to do that.

There weren't many women ahead of me.

There are no coal plants on the drawing board for Duke, which leaves us with gas, renewables, and nuclear.
-
I find, at times, people underestimate me. That's really an asset.
-
2013 was a year of great accomplishment for Duke: our first full year as a combined company.
-
It's important to keep your long term perspective and communicate well both externally and internally.
-
Effectiveness comes from those qualitative things that give you the ability to network, communicate, and lead people toward an outcome they can't see.
-
The way we grow is, we make investments. We've been building a natural-gas platform within Duke that started with the pipelines.
-
Anytime we make additional investment in a coal plant, we are really challenging whether that investment is economic.

When I was growing up, we had a widow living next door to us. So the habit was that if we went to the grocery store, we called her first. If we cut our yard, we cut her yard, no questions asked.

I am deeply honored by the trust the board has placed in me to lead Duke Energy. I have a high degree of confidence in the strength of our company's leadership and dedicated employees.
