RAISE YOUR VOICE TODAY! THE HOUSE is voting today on whether or not to save our and our grandchildren’s future!
The House has postponed to Thur. 9/30, its vote on the $1.2 trillion bi-partisan infrastructure bill. And funding cuts to the related $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation plan bill are being discussed.
The two bills together, as originally written, are the climate plan we have waited decades for, putting the U.S. on the path to reducing carbon emissions by 50% across the economy by 2030. We must stop the funding cuts and any changes that would increase emissions. Join us in calling for those defending the two bills to HOLD THE LINE!
PASS THE ENTIRE RECONCILIATION BUDGET, INCLUDING ALL FUNDING RELATED TO THE CLIMATE CRISIS, ALONGSIDE THE BIPARTISAN BILL.

ACC paid for the report, which uses data given to them by the utilities. It shows renewable energy as more expensive. Other sources show Clean Energy as being less expensive. So many people question their report. And, more importantly, the latest reports show a code red alert about global warming.
If finalized later this fall, the Clean Energy Rules will modernize Arizona’s outdated policies for clean energy by enacting new requirements for APS and TEP to deliver 100% carbon-free electricity; expand programs that help customers save energy and money; and issue competitive bids as they invest in a growing power system. So, please comment, call, email, or write the commissioners about this, asking them to vote for the Clean Energy Rules, as previously considered. And ask them to pass them now, without further amendments. Thank you.
