In 1971, a royal celebration was held in Iran. It was the 2,500th birthday of the Iranian monarchy, a rule which began with King Cyrus the Great of Persia in 539 BC and continued (with a few interregnums) to the reign of Shah Muhammad Reza Pahlavi in the 20th century. Shah Pahlavi ascended to the Iranian throne in 1941, making 1971 not only a celebration of the Persian monarchy lasting two and a half millennia, but also the Shah’s 30-year Jubilee.

What do JXN Water and the Amazon Data Centers have in common? Why are decisions by JXN Water’s Interim Manager (Water Czar) and the Federal Judge who appointed him now suspect? Why do Entergy’s residential customers now fear higher rates due to the secret Amazon data center deal?
Because JXN Water and Entergy customers no longer trust those in charge. Before they said: “Trust us. This is for your own good.” Now, we say: “Show us the receipts.”
