King Trump is dismantling the American legal system with unprecedented executive orders against law firms, calling for impeachment of judges, and defying court orders. Nothing to see here. #endofdemocracy

Hey #energysky and #greensky, have you seen a utility be able to sell a coal plant AND securitize it? That is what is being considered in Arizona right now.
April 8, 2025 at 7:51 PM
It is wild to me to have a utility make clean commitments around carbon but then also say they don't know if our water woes are related to climate change and that we won't know for another 30-40 years. That kind of attitude is what got us into this mess. #energysky #greensky

How do I know I can’t leave Twitter for Bluesky? Absolutely no penguin memes. Definitive proof. 🤦‍♀️

I’ve spent way too much time today pondering how politically toxic an EV/solar company can become with D policymakers in AZ. 🤯 #energysky

Someone just tried to sell me solar with the opener, “did you hear what APS did?” Why yes, I’m familiar. 🤣 And I have solar. 😉 #energysky #solar

@npr.org and @kjzz.org should be ashamed of your segment this morning on rounding up and killing “feral hogs.” Zero explanation of where they came from or why they can’t be relocated. Horrific. Do better. #animalrights #animalwelfare

I absolutely hate when out of state folks parachute in to save the day and, inevitably, make it worse for the folks in the trenches. If we need your help, we’ll ask. Promise. #energysky #greensky

Is it just me or do the utilities prefer fake “stakeholder meetings”? Oh the ACC ordered this years ago? Let’s do a box check meeting before we file. 😒 #energysky

I get accused of not being “diplomatic enough” from time to time. But what you don’t see is all the internal screaming. This IS the diplomatic version. #energysky

The Arizona Corporation Commission has a letter opposing HB 2201, the bill that limits utility wildfire liability. They argue the bill is unconstitutional and that they do not have the expertise to review these plans to begin with. docket.images.azcc.gov/E000041958.pdf #energysky

Generally I support securitization as a means to closing old fossil infrastructure sooner, but HB 2679 has issues and I won't support it as written. #energysky #greensky azcapitoltimes.com/news/2025/02...
Utility-authored securitization bill is horrible deal for ratepayers and state | Arizona Capitol Times
HB2679 would allow every electric utility in Arizona to create bonds for the debt they have incurred and obligate customers to pay the bonds back.

It’s honestly shocking how common it is to be directly threatened in this business. Do this or we’ll get you fired. Do this or we will tank this priority. Do this or it will cost you members. I can only imagine the stakes for the actual policymakers. #energysky
