President Trump: We Want to Keep New Mexico Energy Jobs

April 13, 2020

New Mexico’s energy workers may be left behind by some of our state’s elected leaders, but they’re on the radar of President Trump. During the worst employment situation in a generation, New Mexico’s Governor and Congressional Delegation are deafeningly quiet in voicing their support for our state’s energy workers. Thankfully, they’re not forgotten by President Trump. During his Coronavirus Task Force press briefing on Friday, President Trump took the time to support energy workers in many states, including New Mexico: “We’re actually the largest producer in the world now, so we don’t want anything to hurt those jobs — those…


Waiting for Support from the Coronavirus Relief Act? Thank the Green Agenda.

April 7, 2020

Millions of Americans are awaiting the extra financial support from the Coronavirus Relief Bill, or CARES Act. Sadly, thousands of New Mexicans will have to wait longer thanks to the green agenda. The record $2 trillion CARES Act provides stimulus checks and also funds a large bump in unemployment insurance. The need for the assistance is vital for New Mexico where over 5 percent of the workforce has now filed for unemployment. A record influx of unemployed families could really use the extra $600 a month from the new relief act, but windmills apparently come first. The bill that would…


TRIGGERED: The One Fact That Sent New Mexico’s Eco-Left Running

April 6, 2020

While nearly every American is working to deal with the disastrous impact of the Coronavirus, New Mexico’s eco-left is hard at work trying to destroy jobs. And if you point out that fact, they’ll run away and hide. Last Friday, we took to Twitter to point out they’re destroying jobs while our economy is suffering. Their response was a trigger-induced tantrum demanding their fellow eco-leftists block us on social media and commanding journalists to ignore us. With one tweet, one of New Mexico’s biggest eco-left groups scurried to their nearest internet safe space rather than deal with the truth. It…


Will Windmills Cover New Mexico’s $2 Billion Budget Shortfall?

April 3, 2020

It’s the simplest of questions: Will revenue from green energy be enough to make up for New Mexico’s massive budget shortfall? After two years’ worth of huge budget surpluses, New Mexicans learned this week the state is looking at a potential $2 billion shortfall. The oil fight between Russia and Saudi Arabia coupled with an unprecedented health emergency has crippled New Mexico’s energy industry and the revenue it delivers. During those two years, oil and gas have made up for nearly 40 percent of the entire state budget. Now, state leaders are looking at furloughs and cuts in services due…


Ethics For Thee, But Not For Me: New Mexico “Ethics” Groups Ignore Eco-Left Influence

April 2, 2020

When talking about ethics, any reasonable person would believe the rules should apply equally to everyone. However, that’s not the case in a recent “report” issued by two leftist groups in New Mexico. Earlier this week, New Mexico Ethics Watch and Common Cause New Mexico issued a report on spending by the oil and gas industry in New Mexico politics. Authors of the report bemoaned the “oceans of money, oceans of influence” of the industry. However, it seems they are only concerned with the money spent when that money comes from those they oppose. When the dollars and the questionable…


Tone Deaf: New Mexico Representatives “Exciting News” during Coronavirus Emergency

April 1, 2020

While every American is struggling with the new reality brought about by the deadly Coronavirus, New Mexico Representative Debbie Armstrong wants you to know she has some “exciting news!” That’s right, she’s received the endorsement of New Mexico’s eco-left! The representative, and former business partner of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, feels while families are worried about their budgets, it’s important you know her eco-left green credit is still good. Given her desire to combine a public health emergency with special interest politics, we’d be curious to know if Rep. Armstrong supported delaying the critical Coronavirus relief bill for aspects of…


New Mexico’s Leaders Need to Put Our Energy Workers First!

March 30, 2020

As New Mexico’s families are still reeling from the realities of dealing with a public health emergency, a big part of the disaster that is killing jobs is man-made. Layoffs are already underway in the Permian Basin and New Mexicans need to look no further than China and Russia for the reason. In New Mexico, unemployment claims have skyrocketed to about 38,000 in the past two weeks. The dramatic drop in the price of oil is devastating New Mexico’s economy and our elected leaders can do more to help. Power The Future is calling on Congress and all state elected…


New Mexico’s Eco-Left Echo Chamber Still Working to Kill Jobs

March 27, 2020

We’re all sure New Mexico’s eco-left isn’t a disingenuous echo chamber, right? Today they are very proud of an op-ed written by the Executive Director of the ultra-left special interests group New Mexico Voices for Children. How do we know they’re proud of it? They all tweeted a very similar message within a single hour: Looking at the funding for New Mexico’s Voices for Children it sure seems like many of those their voices aren’t children, or even from New Mexico.



Will New Mexico’s Representatives Prioritize Coronavirus Relief Over the Green Agenda?

March 23, 2020

Journalists and organizations in Washington, D.C. are reporting that the measure to offer Americans relief from the Coronavirus is being held up in part because of demands for solar and wind tax credits. Despite the fact these giveaways to the eco-left have nothing to do with fighting the worldwide pandemic, they are reportedly part of the proposal put forth by leaders in the House. To date, New Mexico’s three members of the House of Representatives have not commented on the inclusion of the green demands in the coronavirus relief bill. New Mexicans need support immediately, and help shouldn’t be delayed…
