70% of all voters of all parties want more clean energy. But only about 30% of voters know that the Corporation Commission is the body in AZ that can do the most about it. So, voter participation in the Corporation Commission race is low. If more people voted, we could make change immediately. 🧵

Last year, Australia installed over 100,000 batteries on people's homes in what is called a "virtual power plant." They offset over 1,000MW of otherwise-needed new capacity. This stabilizes the grid and makes is even easier to support clean energy. We need this in Arizona now.

We don't need to say it, because you already know --TP is trying to make a non-partisan election very partisan. The fact that Bowyer, in this X post from last August, lists SRP as part of their company growth agenda tells you all you need to know.
