Vote today: GA PSC Election 2025-06-17

Concerned about solar on agricultural land? Want more solar on rooftops and parking lots? Tired of natural gas pipelines and Liquid Natural Gas (LNG)? Want to stop wasting money on nuclear? Don’t want higher electric rates?

Today is Primary Election Day for the Georgia Public Service Commission (GA-PSC).

Any registered Georgia voter can vote, even though the two districts up for election include parts of Atlanta, Augusta, and Savannah, and nothing in south central Georgia. If that seems odd to you, it also does to the people who have been suing about it for around five years, which is why this is the first PSC election in that time.

For sample ballots and where to vote, go to GA My Voter page:

You are the media

It’s not necessary to occupy a square or stage a sit-in to emulate MLK’s nonviolent methods, even in Egypt. Look for blue lights in this video:

One view of what you just saw:

In the video you’ll notice the events of the day are not getting captured by film crews and news reporters. They’re being documented by people with their mobile phones. Take another look at the video and count the number of illuminated mobile phone screens you see being raised overhead to capture pictures and video as the scenes in the streets unfolds.
It doesn’t take a fancy camera to record events as they happen. Most any old cell phone will do.

You are the media.
