Tuberville said the role would be added to the Public Service Commission structure to help oversee energy and consumer needs statewide if he's elected governor. “In my eyes, I see a future for maybe Alabama having a Secretary of Energy that represents the entire state – where we just aren’t depending on PSC-elected officials, even though they’ll continue to be involved,” Tuberville said. Alabama State Senate President Pro Tem Garlan Gudger declared HB392 “dead” on Wednesday after public backlash. Alabama is one of 10 states where commissioners are chosen by voters. The bill would have allowed the governor to appoint the PSC president and associate commissioners from a list of candidates selected by the Speaker of the House and the Senate president pro tem. Tuberville had backed the bill, arguing earlier this month that more qualified PSC members were needed to strengthen the state’s ability to recruit businesses.
