Many thanks to @iamjohnoliver for explaining on #LastWeekTonight how monopoly utilities are raising our bills, corrupting state governments, and slowing down the transition to clean energy. Watch the segment and learn more about the stories John discussed. energyandpolicy.org/john-oli…
The Regulators Roundtable covered the travel costs for two of Florida’s public utility commissioners to attend an event the industry-backed group hosted in West Palm Beach.
Here’s what the Senate ethics chair had to say about it:

Monopoly utilities are likely to try to kill transmission reform utilitywatch.substack.com/p/…
Energy and Policy Institute retweeted
One reason we know that monopoly utilities are likely going to try to kill the transmission reforms in BAAJA is because they have done it so many times in the past.
From me and @taitdl, here is a highlight reel of how utilities have sought to obstruct transmission...

How do we know utilities will try to block, weaken or kill transmission reforms Congress is considering now?
They've done it many times before.
Here are examples, mostly from the Southeast, courtesy of Southern, Entergy, and Duke. 1/

PGW's CEO accepted free Phillies spring training trips to Florida from 2022 to 2025, but failed to disclose their value as required by law, @susanphill reports for @whyy

A video that explains a lot of the problems with investor-owned utilities that is actually funny and engaging (no, really!)? I have long been a fan of ClimateTown so I'm not surprised that if anyone can do it, it's them. youtube.com/watch?v=3fDGcZ8q…

The always funny, always informative @ClimateTown breaks down who's driving skyrocketing utility bills. The answer will shock you...

.@12News asked @AriPeskoe to review a consumer advocate's analysis of APS financial records amid a data center boom in AZ.
His review confirmed the advocate's findings that APS customers paid $587 million for data center sector growth between 2023-2025. bit.ly/4hO18Ug
Caldwell also told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette the bill had another effect: weakening the utility commission.
EPI’s @taitdl concurred, “I don’t think there’s probably any regulators in America, Arkansas included, that would like legislation like this passed.”
Republican State Senator Ron Caldwell added, “We’re out here now and in the aftermath of it, you’re seeing the increase in electric bills of the consumer.” He too voted against the bill.
“I believe we made a mistake in passing that bill, I really do,” said Republican State Senator Mark Johnson who voted against the legislation.
Last year, @SarahHuckabee signed the "Generating Arkansas Jobs Act" into law, despite concerns it would shift costs from utilities to ratepayers.
Now lawmakers are airing those concerns publicly. arkansasonline.com/news/2026…
