Huge thanks to @GovernorHobbs for vetoing SB 1309 and HB 2527—two dangerous bills that would have undermined Arizona’s clean energy future. This is a big win for reliability, affordability, and innovation. Our energy future is brighter because of your leadership!

Big news in New Mexico! Gov. Lujan Grisham signed HB 93, a bill that accelerates the transition to clean energy, reduces electricity congestion, and lowers costs for consumers. Let’s gooooooooo!

I recently had a chance to chat with The Arizona Republic re: #rooftopsolar. Permitting in Arizona is down by a third, with APS seeing a 50% drop this year. Fed incentives are strong, but state policies are pulling in the opposite direction, creating barriers for homeowners.
