Accessibility Statement

This statement was last updated on [enter relevant date].

We at [enter organization / business name] are working to make our site [enter site name and  address] accessible to people with disabilities.

What web accessibility is

Forward to an affordable,

sustainable Alabama!

 

The analysis is clear: In Alabama--one of the poorest states--most of us pay more for electricity than the national average. Science too is clear: A broad-front cut in carbon emissions is vital to protect our children and grandchildren from further global warming and catastrophic climate costs. Even if some carbon-based energy remains necessary into the distant future, we’ve reached a critical moment in history when every person, organization, and institution worldwide must think hard how best to advance to more sustainable, low-carbon energy sources.

And here's good news: A thoughtful shift to low-carbon energy can save consumers money--even consumers who continue to rely on traditional carbon-fueled generation! That's because a key driver of utility rates is the cost of utility infrastructure. As energy needs grow--especially for power-hog AI data centers--utility capacity and infrastructure must grow to meet demand. Data centers should pay their own full power costs. And promoting rooftop solar and the like will help limit new generating costs necessarily passed on to ratepayers. 

 

Utilities share responsibility for an affordable, livable future. Our Public Service Commission should play a decisive, in-public role in setting utility goals and expectations with broad collaboration among stakeholders. Do you want a voice on the PSC demanding consumer-friendly energy policy, strategy, and investment? If so, I need your support! Please share word of my candidacy with family, friends, and others. Invite me to speak at your club, church, or other civic organization anywhere in Alabama.

 

And as you can, please give to John Northrop for PSC! We expect no big donations in this campaign. It will take a multitude of small gifts to fund even a modest operation, much less the robust statewide effort we most need. Yet regardless of funding, I'm committed to carrying this message as far and wide as possible. I hope you're with me!
