Candidates split over solar, renewables in Arizona Corporation Commission debate
Electricity, and specifically the fuel types that should be used to generate it, took center stage in an hourlong debate on Tuesday sponsored by the Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission.
Democrats Ylenia Aguilar, Jonathon Hill and Joshua Polacheck came out strongly in favor of solar and other renewable sources, with Republicans Rene Lopez, Lea Márquez Peterson and Rachel Walden favoring a more diversified mix, including fossil fuels.
Despite the division on this and other topics, the discussion was mostly cordial.
The six candidates invited to the debate each had received at least 1% of the vote during the July 30 primary election.
