I interrupt my blogging hiatus to post some stuff on energy.
Hey kids! I promise I’ll be back and posting regularly after the New Year. Sometimes a Diva needs a mental health break, you know? Plus, I’m bracing myself for a new Arizona lege featuring such intellectual luminaries as Teri Proud. Not really looking forward to Congressman Ben Quayle and Senator Rand Paul either. On that [...]
Tuesday Energy: Beware of “Arizonans” astroturfing for Enron-style deregulation.
Hat tip to Civil Arizona’s Anna Johnson for “Arizona’s Top 20 Most Influential Lobbyists”, which was informative because it listed who the influential lobbyists represent. It also alerted me to an outfit called Arizonans for Electric Choice and Competition. If that sounds like a grassroots coalition of regular Joes and Janes yearning for freedom from [...]
Tuesday Energy Post: Memo to AZ Republic – The future is henceforth positioned by Brenda Burns.
This is how the Republic ended their paean to outgoing Corporation Commission Chair Kris Mayes. In short, Mayes has helped position Arizona for the future. They’re right, of course.

Tuesday Energy: Save the Plug In Tax Credit!
Sorry for the lame duck blogging lately. I’m working on some stuff now but I promise I’ll get back to regular posting soon. Here’s a lazy cut-n-paste of something that came in my inbox earlier. Tell Congress — Don’t let the EV infrastructure tax credit expire! Last year, Plug In America, along with plug-in vehicle [...]
Tuesday Energy Blog – Did you know there’s a giant climate change conference going on?
It’s in Cancun and you can see what’s happening there at the official U.N. conference website. Yesterday on his radio show Thom Hartmann read from this piece by Clive Crook of the Financial Times. Crook is a conservative leaning economist and has tough words for the attendees at the convention about the need for immediate [...]
Tuesday Energy Blog: Hey, c’mon! Stop hating on algae!
AZ House Dems nailed Governor Brewer for her prevarications on cutting funding to AHCCCS transplant patients. Not only did Brewer falsely blame the Obama administration for her administration’s cruel denial of lifesaving procedures to people who had been promised: Brewer lie #1: Federal health care law makes it too hard to fund transplants. FACTS: The [...]
Tuesday Energy posts are back! Clowns in the Legislature to the left of me, Goldwater Institute jokers to the right.
Sorry for not announcing the hiatus in advance but, see, the thing is I hadn’t planned on not doing energy posts so many weeks in a row. Anyhow, soooooo, that was some election we just had, huh? It’s going to be a bumpy ride for the solar industry the next couple years. Goldwater is back [...]
