They closed the statement by saying that they are united in pushing back against this power grab that harms Utahns. It was added that they will each fight for a responsible, realistic energy policy that embraces efficiency. Their goal is to keep the lights on.

This statement came from Gov. Spencer Cox, Attorney General Sean Reyes, Senate President J. Stuart Adams, House Speaker Brad Wilson, U.S. Sens. Mike Lee and Mitt Romney and Reps. Chris Stewart, John Curtis, Burgess Owens and Blake Moore.
