The Tucson Citizen endorses Paul Newman and Kara Kelty in the Sept. 2 Democratic primary for the Arizona Corporation Commission.

Corporation Commission: Vote for these two Democrats

Published: 08.18.2008

The Arizona Corporation Commission isn't a glamorous agency, but its members regulate several key elements of our lives: utility rates, pipeline safety, telephone service, railways and securities, to name a few.
In the Democratic primary for the ACC, party members can vote for up to three candidates. We recommend two of the four in this race.

There's been a major scientific breakthrough in solar technology that Kara asked us to share with you.

Due to the fantastic work of Professor Daniel Nocera and his team at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, we are one step closer to a sustainable solar energy market here in Arizona.

In what’s being called a revolution in solar energy, Professor Nocera has developed a unique process for storing solar-based energy overnight.

By engineering an approach that resembles artificial photosynthesis, Professor Nocera has provided the solution to the high-cost dilemma of how to use solar at night. This new technology will open the door for a large-scale solar transition and boom in green-collar careers.

As a firm supporter in Arizona's emerging solar power market, Kara Kelty commends the hard work of Professor Nocera and urges you all to read about his groundbreaking discovery.
