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.

Autumn T. Johnson @autumntjohnson.bsky.social · 07/04/2025
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

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...

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.

EPA moves to ditch finding that greenhouse gases cause harm
The recommendation by Lee Zeldin, the agency's administrator, could upend existing and future regulations on climate change.
