Activists Clash Over Control of Phoenix's Power Utility
Turning Point and Jane Fonda battle for influence at the Salt River Project, Arizona's largest public power utility. Tensions rise as groups fight for renewable energy policies.
In the heart of Phoenix, a battle is raging over the future of the city's power supply. On one side stands Turning Point USA, a conservative activist group, while on the other is Jane Fonda and a coalition of environmental advocates. The prize? Control of the Salt River Project, Arizona's largest public power utility.
Turning Point has been actively campaigning to influence the utility's board elections, seeking to install members who align with their agenda of prioritizing fossil fuel energy over renewable sources. Meanwhile, Fonda and her allies are pushing for a transition to cleaner, renewable energy and greater transparency in the utility's decision-making process.
