- Our energy costs continue to burden ratepayers without exploring alternative funding sources or fairer pricing for all customers.
- Our power grid lacks the reliability upgrades and diverse energy mix needed for long-term stability.
- We’re facing unclear communication during outages and inefficient production that drives up costs.
- Our infrastructure needs modernization to ensure safer repair practices for workers and the public.
- Our energy production and distribution systems require enhanced safety measures and modern methods.
