Xochitl Torres Small and Supporting New Mexico’s “Mini Green New Deal”

September 28, 2020

During Sunday night’s debate for New Mexico’s Second Congressional District seat, Democrat Rep. Xochitl Torres Small went to great lengths to distance herself from her party’s Presidential nominee. The freshman Congresswoman TWICE dodged the question about whether or not she’ll actually vote for Joe Biden before finally admitting she would do so. Her admission came with a huge caveat: she doesn’t support Biden’s energy plan. “I do not agree with his oil and gas approach,” said Rep. Torres Small. However, the inconvenient truth for Xochitl Torres Small is that her husband, who serves in the state legislature, was one of…


New Mexico Governor Considers Escape From Biden’s Fracking Rules

September 17, 2020

Last week, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham was the first to raise the idea of a state seeking a waiver from Joe Biden’s fracking ban if he’s elected. Yes, this the same Governor who was on Joe Biden’s shortlist for VP. And yes, it’s the same Governor who was just appointed to a role on Biden’s transition team.  To put it plainly, one of Biden’s biggest supporters wants to escape his energy plan. Make no mistake, a waiver from Biden’s fracking ban definitely qualifies as an escape. Energy-rich states like Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and New Mexico all stand to lose…


New Mexico Leaders Called Out for Their Silence on Biden’s Energy Plan

September 14, 2020

There is a stark contrast in the energy plans put forth by President Trump and his challenger Joe Biden. However, it seems the New Mexico supporters of former Vice President Biden are the ones who are being awkwardly silent about his energy proposal. And we’re not the only ones who’ve noticed. An editorial from the Albuquerque Journal is calling out candidates and Governor Lujan Grisham over their lack of answers when it comes to energy. With the energy industry supporting over 100,000 jobs and billions in state revenue, it appears silence is no longer acceptable to the state’s largest newspaper….


New Mexico’s Eco-Left Scrambles to Shift Blame for Renewable’s Failures

September 8, 2020

The Rio Grande Chapter of the Sierra Club (RGSC) deserves credit for delivering some laughs today. Despite several sources admitting the failure of renewables is behind California’s terrible blackouts, the RGSC super-duper promises they aren’t the cause…without any evidence. Instead, New Mexico’s eco-left blames, in order, offline natural gas plants (which the eco-left supported) and lack of planning by utilities. It appears radical environmentalists prefer that tactic over the truth, which would require them to look in the mirror. Just like the California blackouts are a warning for what lies ahead in New Mexico, so is the eco-left’s response. In…


Biden’s Proposed Fracking Ban on Federal Lands and Waters Would Cause 1 Million Jobs Losses In 2022

September 4, 2020

Joe Biden has flip-flopped on his energy stance time and time again. The most controversial component of his aggressive $2 trillion climate plan is the ban on new oil and gas leases on federal lands and waters. While Biden has claimed he is not for an outright ban on the industry as a whole, industry leaders are skeptical. Frank Macchiarola, senior vice president of policy, economics and regulatory affairs at the American Petroleum Institute, told FOX Business, “The United States has experienced essentially a generational shift in energy security, economic security, employment and CO2 emission reductions as a result of the shale revolution. A…


Albuquerque’s Slanted Survey Promotes Green Agenda

September 2, 2020

Residents of New Mexico’s largest city are being asked how they feel about the green agenda. Their options: Great! Super great! Full disclosure, that’s not actually one of the questions on the city’s official survey about their climate action plan, but it’s pretty close. Albuquerque continues to make national headlines for its out of control crime problem. Yet, when residents are asked what could most improve their neighborhoods on the city’s latest survey, they are given options such as more trees or more solar panels. You might recall Albuquerque was delighted to take millions from Michael Bloomberg’s “Beyond Carbon” program…


When Renewables Fail, New Mexico Eco-Left Blames…You

August 26, 2020

It’s clear New Mexico’s eco-left struggles with self-awareness. Last week, the state’s largest electric utility urged New Mexican’s to keep their thermostats set at 78 because of clouds.  Yes, you read that correctly. The request from the utility company came because they admitted their solar panels can’t keep up on a cloudy day. The same solar panels hailed by environmental groups as the ultimate answer to any energy problem are already failing to live up to the hype. When asked about the failure of their “solution,” the eco-left shifted the blame to New Mexicans by saying demand on the part…



New Mexico’s Largest Utility Asks Residents To Turn Up the Heat Due to Solar Failure on a Cloudy Day

August 21, 2020

Despite triple-digit temperatures forecast for areas of the state, New Mexico’s largest utility is asking families to keep the thermostat turned up higher in their homes. In a Facebook post, PNM says forecasted clouds mean the utility’s solar panels won’t be able to produce the power New Mexicans could need.  Sadly, New Mexico’s families must continue to face the real consequences of pushing an agenda that doesn’t provide power when we need it most. It’s inconceivable that while our children are forced to stay home to go to school, our families have to endure higher temperatures because radical environmentalists and their…


New Mexico Governor Touts Radical Green Agenda at DNC While Ignoring Its Victims

August 20, 2020

Something you didn’t hear in Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s address to the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday: sympathy for California families without electricity. Governor Lujan Grisham’s feeble defense of the green agenda was so insincere that not only did she ignore working families without power, but also failed to mention the words “Green New Deal.” We can’t imagine why. News of California’s “greenouts” are making headlines all over the country yet they don’t get a mention at the DNC. This despite the fact the party has nominated California Senator Kamala Harris as VP. Perhaps it’s because supporters of the green…
