@azcapmedia @MatthewGress Yep, totally unnecessary and a huge waste of dollars we don’t have.

I-11 planning at standstill as lawsuit makes its way thru federal court. @MatthewGress thinks he's found a workaround to advance process for at least part of it. But colleagues skeptical of the need for the road in the first place. tucson.com/news/state-reg…

@autumntjohnson @KVOA Or to think getting rid of the renewable energy standard would make them go down—just look at the economic analysis. Renewables are among the most affordable energy sources.

Dear #AZMedia - what this SRP press headline SHOULD say, is that they OVER COLLECTED to the tune of $56MIL. The spin as a “rate decrease” is clever though. 🤮 SRP to Seek Temporary Summer Rate Decrease media.srpnet.com/srp-to-seek-te…

@NewsHour That is so sad.😞 We need some more families like Bob Ross’s to step up and of course to vote in some decent human beings.

@autumntjohnson @AZAGMayes @GovernorHobbs @MayorGallego I find it ironic that the people who have yelled the loudest about government overreach are sitting silently by or worse yet cheering on these unlawful, unconstitutional, inhumane actions by ICE.

This should be deeply troubling to everyone. They don’t care if you’re a citizen. They don’t care if you’re here legally. They are masked, lawless goons terrorizing communities. thebulwark.com/p/scoop-ice-pl… @AZAGMayes @GovernorHobbs @MayorGallego

Cheering utility proposals before review damages trust and risks locking AZ into higher costs + fossil fuel dependence. We need transparent oversight, public input, & clean energy standards that put health, equity, & affordability first. 🔗 sot.ag/pFbJT

While @apsFYI runs around telling customers, stakeholder, and regulators “woe is us, we can’t help but raise rates because of the data centers,” it’s funding advocacy for more data centers. Classic. #energy #ai eenews.net/articles/when-…

@AZPM reports data centers are straining U.S. power grids and water supplies. In #Arizona, where every drop counts, we can’t afford energy-hungry tech without clean power & smarter cooling. #AZClimate #WaterSecurity #CleanEnergy. sot.ag/pymJK

Just say no to bullies, whether here or in DC. This is reprehensible, but what we have come to expect. Sinema tells Chandler she's 'hand in glove' with Trump over AI data center azcentral.com/story/news/loc… via @azcentral

What kind of fresh gas plant hell is this? Last week, it was a new 700 MW plant & now @apsFYI is proposing 2000 MW. This is on top of SRP’s gas conversion at Coronado & Springerville & TEP’s too. ICYMI, we have a climate crisis. Meanwhile @CorpCommAZ fiddles. #climatecantwait

In powerful op-ed, @NMLandOffice writes that should @BLMNational rescind the popular #PublicLandsRule, it will "jeopardize rural communities that depend on the stability and long-term health of our great outdoors."

"...I will not let the EPA wriggle out of its commitment to fund solar energy projects that would lower costs for more than 11,000 Arizona households.” Thanks @AZAGMayes for defending solar 💲for cleaner air, lower bills, the climate. #SolarForAll

The Trump administration is denying the climate crisis by undermining the mission of agencies that protect clean air and water, and support clean energy deployment. Enough is enough- the Shutdown President must be held accountable. #CanceltheCuts #ShutdowntheClimateCrisis

It was a nice surprise waking up to notes about this today (I had no clue about it)! Happy to know there are some folks out there paying attention to the stuff I say. 🤗 Thanks for the honor, @phoenixnewtimes!

Think of #Arizona PUBLIC Service (@apsFYI) as the evil, villain octopus. Tentacles everywhere all across the state, buying off everyone in their path & constantly raising our rates to enrich their shareholders. Life-saving utilities should NOT be profit-driven. #StopTheAPSGreed

Wasn’t @apsFYI just saying YESTERDAY that they couldn’t use batteries to make up for solar going down in a thunderstorm? Maybe they don’t know what they are doing. 🤔 #energy

NEW | Batteries now meet 28% of evening peak electricity demand in California🔋⚡️ Not just for a single day, but averaged for all of June. We previously reported on 2024 numbers when they reached ~18-20% in June. In 2022, it was just 4%!
