From our friends at Arizona Interfaith Power and Light:
If you think Arizona should prioritize clean energy, now is the time to speak to the Arizona Corporation Commission!
For 20 years, Arizona utility companies have been intentional about incorporating renewables into our state energy profile because they have been required to. However, the ACC is currently looking to get rid of this requirement. So, we’re asking you to share your opinion on the matter, speak out against this proposal to repeal renewable energy standards, and show the ACC we're paying attention to how utilities are responding to the climate crisis.
In this article, you'll find background information, effective ways to take action, optional talking points with resources to learn more, and people you can reach out to for any questions.
