 It is important to take steps now to ensure a reliable, affordable, and
independent energy future for all Arizona. We need to make policy decisions to
provide enough electricity for growth and sustainable economic expansion, but to
also keep prices down as coal and natural gas prices are expected to climb, and
promote clean energy sources that will help with air pollution and water
scarcity. Arizona has enough solar resources to be energy independent and have
sustainable economic growth. Clean renewable energy means sustainable economic
opportunity for Arizona. Sandra Kennedy is a small business owner (Kennedy Restaurants, LLC.) and
