“The current commission has been actively disincentivizing solar, wind, and other clean, renewable energy sources. It should be obvious that when you remove these entire industries from our power mix, you’re decreasing competition, which will only increase prices. So, I think the commission needs to be much more even-handed and even encourage the clean options that we actually can build here in our state, rather than importing materials, fossil fuels, or other fuels from outside of our state, so we can drive our own economy here in Arizona.
“There’s no such thing as Republican electricity and Democrat electricity. It’s electricity. It’s water. It’s gas. I think it’s easy for people to open up a conversation about affordability.
