So, how do you reconcile those two different things for consumers?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Kelly answered, \u201cWell, the intention of that piece of legislation, I mean, it\u2019s to reduce costs for families.\u201d He then talked about the bill lowering costs in other areas.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Sharpe then followed up on energy taxes.

I mean, we\u2019ve got climate issues that we\u2019re trying to address and, ultimately, we want to move towards a more renewable energy economy. It\u2019s great for Arizona. I mean, when you look across our state, just the solar capacity that\u2019s being put in, this is \u2014 not only in the long term will lower our energy costs and provide for cleaner air for our kids and a better environment. But it also is going to create good-paying jobs in the solar industry.
