I have been a solar user for over 20 years. It is finally becoming affordable partly because the price of batteries has gone down significantly.
Our PSC, Public Service Commission, is broken and it’s costing us money and a sustainable energy future. Monica Tranel has the experience and fight to make Montana an energy leader in today’s economy.
Monica was raised on a ranch in eastern Montana with her nine siblings and lives with her three daughters and husband. She has competed in two Olympics and has a World Championship Gold for the US Women’s Rowing Team.
Monica has more than two decades of experience fighting for consumers and renewable energy, as an attorney, arguing in front of the PSC and in the courtroom.
Your utility rates are going up because the PSC has become a rubber stamp for monopolies and their shareholders, rather than a voice for Montanans. PSC is stalling our transition to renewable energy with biased and unsound regulation. Commissioners have been caught on ‘hot mics’ about killing solar projects and stating that wind turbines cause cancer!
We need Monica to help us obtain sustainable energy in Montana. Vote for Monica!
