Rogers of Duke Energy said that utility-industry officials are ready to take up the challenge (of climate change). “We’ve been through the Hollywood, romanticized phase of recognizing that we have a huge problem” in global warming, he said. “We’re now in the phase of coming up with solutions. The scientists have done their work, and now it’s our turn.”
