If you’re a leader in New Mexico, you definitely aren’t proud of the latest unemployment numbers for your state. In data released on Monday, New Mexico now ranks 48th in the nation for the highest unemployment rate. The state now “enjoys” an unemployment rate over two points higher than the national average. The news gets even more difficult as for the eighth month in a row New Mexico now has the fewest energy jobs in over 10 years. Even worse, the latest numbers reported are from January before President Biden’s moratorium on production had taken full effect. The disastrous decisions…

Joe Biden is doing exactly what he promised to do, so why is New Mexico’s Governor trying to escape his orders? During Joe Biden’s campaign for President, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham participated in more than a few fundraisers loudly proclaiming her support for his energy plan. Now, less than two months into Biden’s Presidency, Lujan Grisham is seeking an exception to his disastrous energy orders. Lujan Grisham’s acknowledgment that Biden’s orders are harmful to New Mexico is helpful, but it’s clear Joe Biden is attacking the energy industry just as he promised during his campaign. That’s why it…

Hundreds of New Mexico’s energy workers are set to lose their jobs, and the radical environmentalists who worship a “just transition” are nowhere to be found. In a front-page cover story, the Farmington Daily Times is reporting on the layoffs and the fact that funding designed to help the workers isn’t available. These workers and their families face an uncertain future because of New Mexico’s eco-left politicians and radical environmental groups. In 2019, New Mexico passed its own version of the “Green New Deal,” which supposedly included taxpayer support to help ensure a “just transition.” Not surprisingly, the workers set…

As leaders in Santa Fe and Washington, D.C. continue their attack on New Mexico’s energy workers, Power The Future is launching YoureFrackingWelcome.com to help them fight back.  According to the latest unemployment results, New Mexico currently has the fewest energy jobs in over 10 years because of failed leadership in Santa Fe. Even worse, executive orders out of Washington are already forcing New Mexico to lose energy jobs to other states. New Mexico’s energy workers deserve nothing but our gratitude, but instead they are constantly under attack from eco-left politicians who listen to their radical environmentalist special interests while happily…

As the hearings for the nomination of Deb Haaland got underway this week, it’s clear New Mexico Senator Martin Heinrich is detached from the reality going on in the state he represents. During the hearing, Heinrich claimed Joe Biden’s executive orders have not cost New Mexico jobs – an outrageous claim that his own party knows is false. In a letter earlier this month, the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department in the Michelle Lujan Grisham Administration told the Biden administration New Mexico is already losing oil rigs to Texas due to Biden’s orders. No doubt there are…

It must be hard to get this much arrogance into one tweet, but New Mexico’s Environment Secretary James Kenny gets the job done. Here we have a government bureaucrat feeling entitled to MORE taxpayer dollars. The sentiment is bad enough on its own, however, when we add some context, we see it is truly out-of-touch. In early 2019, James Kenny and all the other Cabinet Secretaries in Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s administration received a 17 percent pay increase. Not for extra work, just because. According to public records, Secretary Kenney makes $156,000 a year, or more than THREE TIMES the…

As the saying goes: If it weren’t for double-standards, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham probably wouldn’t have any standards at all. You might recall last September when Governor Lujan Grisham told her eco-left allies she wanted to “transition out” of fossil fuels. Despite the fact that nearly 40% of New Mexico’s state budget is generated by oil and natural gas revenue, the Governor has continued to work to undermine those industries. Fast forward to Tuesday when a local TV station highlighted the fact Governor Lujan Grisham recently doled out massive raises to her own staff. It’s bad enough these…

Why is it that leaders from outside New Mexico are the ones standing up for the state’s energy workers instead of their own Governor? First, it was the Attorney General of West Virginia who said he would reach out to New Mexico’s leaders to help the state fight against Biden’s disastrous executive orders. Now, former Secretary of Energy and Texas Governor Rick Perry is joining the call to ask why New Mexico’s leaders aren’t fighting back. In his first interview since leaving Washington, Perry told Fox News Host Sean Hannity: “New Mexico’s Governor, I’d love to have her on your…
