Arizona Sees The Light. Don’t blame me if I read the highlights from the Arizona Corporate Commissioner with a grain of salt. But, I will take it as a sign in the right direction if executed on correctly. It will be a good day for Arizona consumers if the ACC moves towards power generation that does not have exposure to fuel cost volatility and takes advantage of Arizona’s land and solar resource.
Taiwan Jumps In. As South Korea has filed and Canada is complaining to the WTO about NAFTA, Taiwan is also asking for remedy against the US. I am still waiting for the Chinese response to the 201 tariff. Lighthizer better start working quickly towards a settlement before this all gets out of control.
BP Makes Another Move. Having an EV charging network means having access to real estate that will enable the electrified transportation system to run more efficiently. That is why some of the biggest energy, oil, and transportation companies have invested into EV charging companies. BP is now moving into this space with an investment and announcement that they will put charging at their gas stations. Since they already have the real estate this would seem to make sense, look to see other oil majors do the same.
