Groundswell Capital reposted this
The recent election results for the Arizona Corporation Commission present both challenges and opportunities for advancing clean energy in the state. But I see a chance to collaborate on shared priorities like economic growth, grid reliability, and local job creation. As I shared with the Arizona Capitol Times, clean energy isn’t just about sustainability—it’s about fostering innovation, creating jobs, and strengthening Arizona’s economy. By highlighting these benefits, I’m hopeful we can align clean energy initiatives with the commission’s focus on affordability and reliability. Let’s make sure Arizona continues to lead in energy innovation and economic competitiveness 🙌🏼 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gFQ2ydPE
