FORT MOHAVE — Even without the visual of a hundred retirees wearing custom neon yellow shirts, it's clear the neighbors are upset. The atmosphere in the meeting room at the Los Lagos Golf Course — itself a splash of green on the windswept brown landscape of Arizona's Mojave Desert — is as tense as a coiled spring when Tyler Carlson, CEO of the Mohave Electric Cooperative, steps to the podium.
