ARIZONA CORPORATION COMMISSION DEBATE
Brief Description:
Three seats on the Arizona Corporation Commission are up for election, impacting state water and power management. The Commission, consisting of five members, regulates major utilities and votes often fall along party lines. This year, two Republican-held seats are open, as Commissioners Kevin Thompson and Nick Myers are not up for re-election. Beyond water and power, the Commission handles railroad and pipeline regulations and securities issues. Key debates include the adoption of renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydropower versus pollution-emitting sources such as coal and natural gas, the latter being crucial for peak power demand due to its operational flexibility.
