"What took our utilities 100+ years to build, we need to double that within the next four to five years to keep up with demand," said Kevin Thompson, who serves on the Arizona Corporation Commission, a powerful utility regulator whose members are elected statewide. - Speaking at an Axios event Tuesday in Phoenix, Thompson continued: "How do you do that…
