Colorado's newest and most expensive coal plant is still broken, and @XcelEnergyCO is hiding what should be public information on the repairs, cost and pollution. Time for the Colorado PUC to pull back the curtain. #NoMoreXcelSecrets cpr.org/2026/03/31/col…

Mind-numbingly wrong! bigpivots.com/is-chris-wrigh…

Makes perfect sense in the sunniest state in the nation; Arizonans agree on #cleanenergy. A new @FirstSolar survey finds strong GOP support for solar and other clean energy sources that are affordable, reliable, and help lower energy costs. Read more: sot.ag/pPDjr

“Having coal out of Washington power is a huge milestone.” – Washington State House Majority Leader Joe Fitzgibbon on the conversion to gas of the Centralia Power Plant, the last coal-burning facility in the state. washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/12/09/was…

Los Angeles has officially ended the use of coal in our city’s power supply.

EPA’s plan to slash the $7B Solar for All program is the wrong direction for the sunshine state. AZ risks losing 69K jobs + $58B in investments if #solar progress stalls. We can’t afford to go backward on #cleanenergy. #CleanEnergyAZ #SolarForAll bit.ly/3WSprGA

The largest electric utility in Illinois is piloting a vehicle-to-grid program with electric school buses to test whether the buses can supply energy back to the grid, potentially lowering energy costs for customers and reducing grid load. bit.ly/4h7IXIH

Feds reject low-ball bid by @NTEnergyCompany for millions of tons of coal, a sign of how far coal has fallen. montanafreepress.org/2025/10/14/fed…

Headline and graph say it all. canarymedia.com/articles/solar…

AZ's data center boom raises a pressing ?: who pays for the power? Without transparent peak demand data, homeowners could unknowingly foot the bill. @APSFYI, @SRPconnect, @TEPenergy and others must ensure clarity, accountability and fairness. #AZEnergy sot.ag/pxyhp

Renewables make up 91% of the 15 gigawatts of generation the U.S. added in the first five months of 2025, with solar accounting for 11.5 gigawatts. bit.ly/4nu0aOn

Beginning in November, Massachusetts’ three big electric utilities will offer cheaper electric rates during the coldest months of the year for households using a heat pump. wbur.fm/4oT86KF

AZ homeowners rush to install #solar before energy tax credits expire - “You start doing the math, 30% for federal tax credit, $1,000 from state, you’re talking $10,000 in savings by going solar now purchasing the system.” Hurry, they expire on Dec 31.  sot.ag/pwT5G

Thx @AZAGMayes. Corporate cowardice is spot on. @apsFYI

Hopefully, @governorhobbs now realizes what a horrible mistake it was to sign securitization legislation and give @apsfyi total freedom to run roughshod over customers, Arizona's economy and the state's future.

Four rooftop solar arrays installed in a Boston low-income housing development are expected to save the nonprofit housing developer about $35,000 each year—savings that will help provide more resources to its residents. bit.ly/3GHVAMP

A deal to build 5 data centers in Tucson could mean higher water and energy demand in a state already stretched thin. Smart growth should prioritize clean power, conservation, and real community benefits. bit.ly/4l5d3Nc #AZcleanenergy #Tucson #SustainableGrowth

The need for strong data center policy grows stronger; "We can’t afford to get this wrong..." says WRA. "there is significant risk residential customers will be on the hook for higher energy bills" and progress on decarbonization lost. westernresourceadvocates.org/news/report-da… #CleanUpXcel

Ratepayers might be on the hook for excess costs in @XcelEnergyCO's new power plan. Will we see massive subsidies for data centers while residential rates soar? The Colorado PUC must act to protect consumers. More info: denverpost.com/2025/07/22/xce… #CleanUpXcel

Kudos to @copirg for shedding light on the monster expansion plan that @XcelEnergyCO is proposing and how consumers could be stuck with a likely multi-billion $ tab for new resources that might not even be needed. denver7.com/money/consumer… #CleanUpXcel
