New Mexico Governor Takes Time to Fundraise For Biden’s Green Agenda During Controversial Health Orders

July 13, 2020

While she’s imposing controversial new public health orders on her state, it looks like New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham still has time to support the radical green agenda. Late last week, the Biden Campaign announced the Governor’s participation in a “Clean Energy Conversation” event. You can’t miss the fact that those who want to participate are encouraged to donate anywhere from $100 up to $5600 to Biden. Keep in mind, this is happening at the same time over 40,000 New Mexico energy workers are out of work. During this time of uncertainty for New Mexico’s families, it must be…


New Mexico Eco-Left Doesn’t Want to Pay Their Fair Share of Taxes

July 8, 2020

The bait-and-switch of the renewable energy lie is underway in New Mexico. The eco-left friendly group “ReNew Mexico” is spending money on a campaign to try and dodge taxes in New Mexico. They want New Mexicans to sign on to a petition asking lawmakers to protect their industry from tax increases. The reason: if renewables had to pay their fair share like the rest of us, they would be more impracticable. The mind-boggling hypocrisy of the eco-left in trying to get out of paying taxes cannot be understated. In just one example, they have worked to shut down the San…


Biden’s Green New Deal 2.0 Gets Cold Response in New Mexico

July 6, 2020

It’s clear House Democrats are pushing their new climate plan, not as a serious proposal, but to give cover to Joe Biden. Their problem is that even their own members aren’t buying into the Green New Deal 2.0. You might recall the first version of the Green New Deal met with disaster, even among Democrats. Not a single member of the Senate voted for the bill and it’s never seen the light of day in the House. Both for good reason, they know the law spells catastrophe. So now Democrats want you to meet the new plan, problem is it’s…



Radical Eco-Left Uses California Dollars to Spend Big In New Mexico Elections

June 24, 2020

Here’s some handy information for the next time your local environmentalist screams over the financial influence of “big oil.” During New Mexico’s recently completed primary election, a political action committee tied to the Sierra Club spent over $170,000 to push the radical green agenda. According to campaign finance reports the money didn’t come from concerned New Mexicans, but instead came from a high-rise office building in California’s Bay Area. This April contribution was just one of the several contributions funneled into New Mexico from the Sierra Club’s “independent Action” PAC in California: For a little context, the eco-left pumped these…


No Environmental Scrutiny of New Mexico Solar Farms?

June 22, 2020

Did two large New Mexico solar farms move forward without any environmental impact studies? In August of 2018, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission fast-tracked two large solar farms in the state with much fanfare. The Britton and Encino solar facilities are in Torrance and Sandoval counties, and they take up a lot of land. To check and see if the green agenda plays by their own rules, Power The Future filed public records requests at both the county and state level in order to examine the environmental studies conducted for the massive solar farms. The problem? Not a single…


Increasing New Mexico’s Gas Tax Should Not Be A “Solution” During Special Session

June 17, 2020

As lawmakers get ready for a special session to address New Mexico’s budget deficit, Power The Future is calling on them to oppose any proposal to increase the tax on gasoline. During the most recently completed legislative session, radical environmental groups pushed a massive increase in the tax on gasoline from 17 cents per gallon to 47 cents. “Forcing New Mexico’s families to pay more for gas should not be considered a solution to fix Santa Fe’s budget problems,” said Larry Behrens, Western States Director for Power The Future. “Our top priority during the special session should be New Mexicans…


Windmill Waste Piles up in the Southwest

June 15, 2020

It’s impossible to drive along Interstate 40 in Western New Mexico or through the Texas Panhandle without seeing the results of the green agenda. No doubt every member of the eco-left will smile at the miles of windmills churning across the region. However, a new sight is popping up they want us all to ignore: windmill waste. With a shelf life of only about 20 years, many are just now learning about the massive waste produced by windmills across the country. Windmill waste is already filling up acres of in the western United States and as more time passes, more…


Joe Biden’s Vulnerability Problem in New Mexico

June 5, 2020

Tuesday’s primary election results were mostly good for New Mexico’s radical eco-left, with one glaring exception. One of the most ignored stories from Tuesday is the shaky support received by Joe Biden. Even though he has been the presumptive nominee for weeks, still 1 out of every 4 Democrats voted against him last Tuesday. No doubt, Biden’s extreme energy policy is playing a role in his vulnerability in our state. Biden has welcomed socialists like Bernie Sanders and AOC as key climate advisors on his campaign. Make no mistake, their ideas would destroy New Mexico’s economy by forcing thousands of…


New Mexico’s Largest Utility Wants Customers to Pay More Due to Covid-19 and Renewables

June 4, 2020

Common sense would have us believe that when we use less of a product, we should save money. However, the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) is looking to charge New Mexicans more for less. Their reason? Renewables and the Coronavirus. We swear we’re not making it up. PNM, the state’s largest electric utility, has filed a motion with the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission to be able to use a financial move called “decoupling.” The complex mechanism means PNM wants to be able to charge customers more even if they use less electricity.  Their argument is that customers…
