Hawaii is preparing for flooding from a third kona storm, while Arizona's Salt River Project has shifted to a clean energy majority after a contentious election. Additionally, the ongoing Iran War has already cost U.S. drivers $17 billion in higher fuel prices, and a new study has mapped U.S. groundwater resources to aid in sustainable management.
The election of a clean energy-focused majority to the board of Arizona's Salt River Project signals a significant shift towards renewable energy in utility policymaking. This development is a critical investment signal for stakeholders in the renewable energy sector, as it demonstrates increasing political support and potential for renewable projects in traditionally conservative regions, potentially unlocking new opportunities for growth and collaboration in the cleantech space.
