Newsweek has included Duke Energy Corp. Chief Executive Jim Rogers to its list of The Global Elite: The 50 Most Powerful People.
The list appears in the magazine’s Jan. 5 edition.
According to Newsweek , Rogers has the power to make “dreams of renewable power a reality.”
The magazine says Duke (NYSE:DUK) “is not the world’s greenest utility, and CEO Jim Rogers is no green saint.” But it notes Rogers has called for mandatory greenhouse-gas reductions from power plants and other sources.
He also advocates a cap-and-trade system and supports a surcharge on electricity to fund research and development on low-carbon technologies. Newsweek cites Duke’s $50 million investment to install 10 megawatts of solar panels on customers’ rooftops and its wind-power operations.
