Decision makers at the Arizona Corporation Commission, the ACC, appear to endorse major energy projects before formal review, evidence or public input. This perception of bias matters more as energy prices climb and many households struggle with rising utility bills.
Repeated public enthusiasm about costly gas, nuclear and data center driven projects, despite cheaper renewable alternatives and unresolved risks, reinforces concerns about fairness. Effective oversight depends on visible impartiality, where energy decisions are driven by evidence rather than conclusions formed in advance.
