The reason you won’t hear New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham bragging about her approval numbers is likely because they’re not something the administration wants to highlight. According to Morning Consult, Governor Lujan Grisham ended 2019 with an approval rating of 44 percent. The end-of-the-year approval ratings are only part of the problem for Governor Lujan. A poll conducted by Emerson College in early January 2020 put Lujan Grisham’s approval at a dismal 38 percent.  In fact, when you look at Governor Lujan Grisham’s approval over the last four months, you see a drastic 9-point drop. The question many are…

An environmental organization’s profile of New Mexico says a “transportation sector carbon fee” is being looked at for New Mexico’s upcoming legislative session. According to the group Climate Xchange, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is a leader in the climate change movement and members of her administration will participate in a webinar for the group. If you examine New Mexico’s profile on the group’s website, it notes “advocates are also looking at a transportation-sector carbon fee for the 2020 legislative session.” New Mexico is set to enjoy a massive budget surplus for the second year in a row thanks to the…

New year, same hypocrisy. Over the New Year’s Holiday, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s administration went out of their way to talk about how they’re going to examine energy efficiency when they want to rent space. It’s all a part of the administration’s efforts to address climate change but it appears they aren’t concerned with their own space. If you take a look around the New Mexico Capitol Building and the Governor’s Mansion, you’ll notice the lack of solar panels or wind turbines. Apparently, addressing climate change is the most urgent matter of our time, unless it’s about where our leaders…

You would think self-awareness would be a requirement to be Governor of an energy-rich state: you would be wrong. In comments made to pro-renewable publication while receiving an eco-left award, New Mexico Governor Lujan Grisham just couldn’t figure out what fossil fuels have done for her state in the “big picture.” Lujan Grisham acknowledges that fossil fuels have produced a lot of benefits to her state in the form of taxing energy producers to extract the state’s oil, gas and coal resources. But, “Big picture: Where has it gotten us?” she asked. “New Mexico remains a high poverty state with…

We’ll be the first to say it: Standing up to the eco-left on behalf of New Mexico’s energy workers won’t win you friends in the radical environmental community. However, it’s the right thing to do. That’s why New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham deserves credit for her comments in support of fossil fuels. During an energy summit in Carlsbad, the Governor was very clear, telling the crowd: “The whole world is looking at us, is excited about what is happening here. I grew up in Santa Fe, but I’m the kind of gal that like to get out where the…

New Mexicans need to get ready to see the cost of their cars go up by an average of $2,700 thanks to the regressive green agenda. Earlier this week, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham unilaterally decided to increase the cost of cars on the state’s families. In a state where the median income is below $47,000 (and falling), it’s hard to understand why the Governor would want New Mexicans to pay higher costs. Governor Lujan Grisham signed on to a deal to increase the cost of cars while traveling to New York City as part of an agreement with…
