I’m sure you’ve seen story after story of local communities fighting data centers. Concerned citizens are fighting valiantly, but they are fighting on too many fronts. 

When I was a younger man living in Phoenix, old beards told me that we are “living on an ocean of water underground, and we won’t run out any time soon.”

The claim was false then and it most definitely is now.

Today, in my weekly effort to demystify another one of SRP’s quirky voting rules, I want to explain why SRP counts some votes one way and others a completely different way.

I’ve mentioned in every one of my videos and posts that APS customers who own property in SRP “votable lands” have a right to vote in the SRP board and council elections this coming April.

Here’s what you need to know.

This week I want to remind you that SRP has its own voter registration system —its own Permanent Early Voter List.

When I talk to folks in Phoenix about the SRP board election, they are flabbergasted to learn that they have a right to vote.

Do you know about your voting rights and how it affects your pocketbook?

Energy’s confusing — SRP voting even more so. I’m here to hopefully fix that with simple, fun explainers that make sense of the systems powering your life.
