Yep. Go to the #AZ Corp Commission site and look for docket Docket No. E-01345A-25-01051 to file your opinions. Register to vote SRP board. Research the candidates - which ones are open lobbyists for utility and Silicon Valley interests? Or taking $ from the PAC Arizonans for Responsible Growth?

Yep ! Look for Docket No. E-01345A-25-01051 on the #AZ Corp commission site and comment. AND ... support the candidates who are speaking out ... and do your research on which candidates are openly lobbying for "non woke energy" ...whatever that is.
