Op-Ed: Commitment to renewable energy is a commitment to jobs for Arizonans
Over the past decade, advances in renewable energy have made it much more affordable to power the average home or business. Not only is the cheaper price of solar and wind attractive to businesses, but its continued growth makes it a real economic bargaining tool for states to lure in companies to relocate, bringing more jobs and opportunities for residents.
Arizona currently champions itself on pro-business policies like low corporate tax rates, less red tape and growing demographics. But with nearly all neighboring states committed to lofty renewable energy goals and recently introduced legislation that puts into question the state’s path towards the same, Arizona stands to lose out on the next decade’s economic race.
