ENERGY, INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENT
Build a clean-energy economy by investing in energy-efficient technologies, industries and
approaches, especially Arizona solar.
• Require all publicly-funded building projects to use solar and alternative energy.
• Increase vehicle fuel efficiency and the number of electric vehicle fueling stations.
• Implement Tucson’s 2030 District to reduce greenhouse gases, conserve water and address
climate-change impacts; encourage similar programs countywide.
• Limit the amount of carbon that polluters may emit.
• Restore and expand the renewable portfolio standards for utilities.
• Demand that the Arizona Corporation Commission reduce and control utility rates. Prohibit
any entity that it regulates from making political campaign contributions, and prohibit ACC
campaign donors from intervening at the ACC.
• Prohibit fracking.
• Appropriately fund the Arizona Department of Water Resources and institute sustainable
water policies statewide, not just in Active Management Areas.
We develop sustainable projects that fix critical aging infrastructure, positively impact the environment and transform communities with money that would’ve otherwise gone towards utilities and repairs
Ward 6 Council member Steve Kozachik proposed the solar-powered microgrid project at a May 23 City Council Study Session. Owned and operated by the city of Tucson, the project, coined Solar ROW Microgrids, could potentially power a form of electric public transportation like Tucson's streetcar.
