Power grid

“Incentivize the use of renewable and green energy, including solar installation and electric vehicles, and upgrade our power grid to meet increased energy demand through new technologies.”

“We need to build quickly and at scale. That means streamlining red tape that makes it too hard and costly to build. It means using smart public investments to accelerate the transition. And it means modernizing our energy grid.”

“In some areas, we need to make investments that the private sector won’t make on its own. For example, expanding the supply of clean energy, building a modern electric grid, and building 21st century transit.”

“Lowering electric bills by taking on corporate utility giants and forcing greater accountability from electrical companies so they spend their profits on modernizing and replacing our outdated electrical grid.”

“Lowering the cost of heat and electricity by modernizing our energy infrastructure.”

“That’s why I’ll fight to expand clean energy, modernize our electric grid, and build resilient roads, bridges, and public transit systems that keep our economy moving.”

“Lower costs by expanding clean energy and modernizing the grid.”

“Utah can lead in clean, affordable American-made energy that strengthens our economy and lowers costs for families. I support expanding clean energy, modernizing the electrical grid, and investing in transportation infrastructure that creates jobs and secures our energy future.”

“Invest in flood control, drainage, and grid infrastructure so the next storm does not wipe out another town.”

“Modernized Energy Grids”

“Upgrade our electric grid: To deliver meaningful energy savings we need to address the costs of transmission and distribution, as well as production. Upgrading our grid to allow local storage will help reduce overall grid strain, especially during peak hours saving money for all of us.”

“Claire will support federal funding and oversight to rebuild Puerto Rico’s power system under democratic public control, lower energy costs, prevent repeated blackouts, and ensure the transition to clean energy creates good union jobs for Puerto Rican workers.”

“Support research for implementation of small modular nuclear power that will ensure our grid remains reliable and creates a greater mix of energy resources to draw upon.”

“KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON AND THE WATER RUNNING”

“From Hurricane Harvey, Winter Storm Uri (where 250 persons lost their lives) to the Derecho, I want to ensure that our infrastructure is prepared to take care of you. From aging pipes, power lines, freeways and more, our district should feel safe in their homes.”

“Invest in flood control, drainage, and grid infrastructure so the next storm does not wipe out another town.”

“Better drainage and flood control in the places that go under every time a hurricane comes through. Stronger power infrastructure so people are not without electricity for a week. Restored wetlands and stream buffers that absorb water before it reaches somebody’s living room.”

“After every hurricane, families wait too long to get the lights back on. I'll push to harden our grid so Southwest Florida recovers faster.”

“Puerto Ricans deserve a renewable energy grid that is reliable, affordable, climate-resilient, and accountable to the people. Claire will work to hold the energy company LUMA accountable for its broken promises and mismanagement of the project, which has left Puerto Ricans without reliable or affordable power.”

“Claire will support federal funding and oversight to rebuild Puerto Rico’s power system under democratic public control, lower energy costs, prevent repeated blackouts, and ensure the transition to clean energy creates good union jobs for Puerto Rican workers.”

“Every major project should be evaluated on its actual benefits, costs and long-term consequences: Where will its water come from, and how much will it use during Arizona’s hottest months? How much electricity will it require, and what new infrastructure will be needed? Will the company pay those costs, or will families and small businesses see them shifted onto their utility bills? How many permanent jobs will remain after construction? What tax incentives are being offered, and what will Arizona receive in return? How will nearby neighborhoods be affected by noise, heat, traffic and construction? The standard should be simple: Is this good for Arizona, or does it leave Arizona families carrying the cost?”

“Claire will push for another path, fighting to ensure that tech companies invest in the grid via a federal fund to build out publicly-owned power. And she will work to close the loopholes that allow tech companies to build private gas plants.”

“An additional fee assessed on new data centers to fund investments in transmission capacity. These fees will help expand the grid, advance the clean energy transition, and lower energy costs for working people.”

“Lowering electric bills by taking on corporate utility giants and forcing greater accountability from electrical companies so they spend their profits on modernizing and replacing our outdated electrical grid.”

“Hold LUMA Accountable & Build Reliable and Affordable Public Power”

“Puerto Ricans deserve a renewable energy grid that is reliable, affordable, climate-resilient, and accountable to the people. Claire will work to hold the energy company LUMA accountable for its broken promises and mismanagement of the project, which has left Puerto Ricans without reliable or affordable power.”

“SB 378 (Wiener; bill failed): Holding PG&E accountable for its mass blackouts. SB 378 will require PG&E to compensate people and businesses for damages they sustain during planned blackouts and prohibits PG&E from charging customers for service during these blackouts. The legislation also bans PG&E from lobbying against public power and other alternative approaches to power delivery.”

“Build the power grid we need to lower costs. Speed up permitting so power lines actually get built.”

“An additional fee assessed on new data centers to fund investments in transmission capacity. These fees will help expand the grid, advance the clean energy transition, and lower energy costs for working people.”

“Requirements that AI companies partner with utilities to provide low-cost access to their models for grid expansion modeling and interconnection agreements, helping eliminate a major obstacle to transmission expansion.”

“Claire will push for another path, fighting to ensure that tech companies invest in the grid via a federal fund to build out publicly-owned power. And she will work to close the loopholes that allow tech companies to build private gas plants.”

“Hold LUMA Accountable & Build Reliable and Affordable Public Power”

“Claire will support federal funding and oversight to rebuild Puerto Rico’s power system under democratic public control, lower energy costs, prevent repeated blackouts, and ensure the transition to clean energy creates good union jobs for Puerto Rican workers.”

“Upgrade our electric grid: To deliver meaningful energy savings we need to address the costs of transmission and distribution, as well as production. Upgrading our grid to allow local storage will help reduce overall grid strain, especially during peak hours saving money for all of us.”

“Stop the Golden Pacific Powerlink”

“What concerns me is the next generation of massive, hyperscale campuses moving into communities like ours, drawing down shared water supplies and straining power grids that weren't built to support them.”
