Results aren't quite public yet but we're hearing Clean Energy candidates flipped 2 seats, taking them from a 6-8 minority to an 8-6 CLEAN ENERGY MAJORITY!
Turns out when TPUSA tries to make a nonpartisan utility election about MAGA extremism, voters actually prefer clean energy and accountability!

It's Salt River Project election day!
Huge thanks to the Clean Energy Team running to put families over data center profits and clean air over fossil fuel executives.
As @sierraclub.org Grand Canyon Chapter's Political Chair, we're proud to stand with these candidates!

@climateaf.bsky.social's @nickarnold.info was one of the first Tucsonans to take advantage of this Federal Clean Energy Program provision. Now, he might be one of the last.
Trump & Congress need to support Inflation Reduction Act, keep promise of lowering cost of living | Guest opinion
President Trump and his Republican Congress ran on lowering the cost of living. Now, they need to keep that promise by letting the Inflation Reduction Act work in peace.

Just called Juan Ciscomani's office to thank him for supporting the #InflationReductionAct programs that just saved my $9000 on a new heat pump.
Will be telling all my neighbors about it, hopefully from an angle of "here's how you can benefit too" instead of "too bad our Congressman gutted it".

Kinda wild that so many Very Serious People take the need to build data centers for AI as a given when the main use case for AI so far seems to be degrading people’s ability to read, write, think critically and connect to other human beings

On attempt #4, HB2679 finally made it past House Committee of the Whole -- unfortunately, with only a Republican amendment that fails to address clean energy and ratepayer advocates' core concerns.
We'll try to amend or kill in the Senate, but we need
@katiehobbs.bsky.social's veto pen ready.

Attempt #2 today of Arizona utilities trying to make Arizona ratepayers an experiment in what happens when you give monopoly utilities overly broad securitization authority.
Clean energy advocates want securitization! We just want it to be responsible and good for ratepayers -- HB2679 isn't that.

Yet another district being forced to discuss school closures because our AZ legislature would rather serve their grifting, privatizer donors than our communities and kids. This will keep happening and it can happen anywhere. Vouchers hurt kids and communities.

Wrote about how four years of “Fund the Police!” did zero for the Democrats except legitimize GOP talking points, depress Dem voter turnout, hand Trump a well-funded police state, and make the world a crueler, more violent place. An abject failure. theappeal.org/fund-the-pol...
‘Fund the Police’ Backfired—and Gave Trump More Power Than Ever
Democrats spent the last four years running away from police reform and instead chanted "fund the police." They lost.

Arizona is so lucky to have Stephanie back at the Capitol and I'm proud @climateaf.bsky.social made her one of our first 2024 endorsements last December!
We’re proud to have supported Stephanie Stahl Hamilton, a dedicated champion for Arizona’s environment, water, natural resources, and environmental justice. Her commitment to bridging the rural-urban policy divide sets a strong foundation for impactful change. Congratulations!

It's so scary that the Arizona Corporation Commission, led by the fossil fuel industry lobbyists Arizonans elected last year, may reopen the Value of Solar docket and gut #RooftopSolar this week.
Value of Solar was the reason I attended my first Commission hearing back in 2015-2016!
