The privatization of energy resources raises concerns about affordability, reliability, and environmental impact. Private companies' profit motives may conflict with public interests, leading to higher costs and neglect of sustainable practices. Publicly owned and regulated utilities can better prioritize affordable access, grid resilience, and a responsible transition to clean energy sources. Privatization risks exacerbating energy poverty and undermining climate goals. Given these risks, I urge you to oppose any efforts to privatize our state's energy resources and infrastructure. Maintain public control and oversight to safeguard energy security and sustainability for all residents.
