In a nutshell:Arizona's potential for clean energy progress remains hampered by political divisions. Two years ago, bipartisan support for a 100 percent clean energy standard by 2050 existed but was thwarted by political opposition. Despite recent Democratic gains in statewide offices, Arizona remains politically divided, making it a challenge to advance clean energy policies. The state's utility regulatory panel, the Arizona Corporation Commission, now leans Republican and has shifted away from clean energy standards. Clean energy might not be a priority (right now), but some Arizona cities are working toward climate solutions.
