"Parts of Western North Carolina could see systematic blackouts if Duke Energy doesn't build a tie station as planned near a sacred Cherokee site, the company says in a filing with the state.
According to Duke Energy Spokesperson Jason Walls, the blackout severity would depend upon the company’s available equipment.
“If the equipment can no longer supply highest demand it accommodates during times of demand, then it may go on and off. “
Disagreement over the proposal has rutted the power company against Eastern Band Cherokee tribe members who say the project would violate the spiritual and cultural center of the Cherokee people."
