It’s hard to quantify the number of radical ideas that were put forth during the CNN Climate Debate on Thursday, but New Mexicans need to take notice of one: the proposal to ban fracking. Banning fracking is on the radar of nearly every Democratic candidate running for President. However, the practice has delivered billions of dollars to New Mexico not to mention thousands of jobs and affordable energy for the state’s working families. Not to mention, the industry provides more than 35 percent of all the revenue collected by the state and has the potential for billions more in the future. So, the question…

For the first time, it appears the new administration in Santa Fe has to deal with the fact that “green” costs more. The State of New Mexico was proud to brag about their brand new project to pay $12 million to retrofit state buildings with “energy upgrades.”  Their talking point was simple: Green Bonds are going to be used to pay for a green project. Except they won’t. Emails obtained by Power The Future show those promised green bonds are too “disadvantageous” for the project. After crunching the numbers, state finance officials found the green component of the project was “too…

Michael Bloomberg’s controversial arrangement that is “not unusual” in New Mexico is drawing fire other parts of the country. Power The Future was able to uncover the documents showing the New York billionaire is paying the salaries of two lawyers in the New Mexico Attorney General’s office. Under the arrangement, Bloomberg pays New York University who then sends the attorneys to friendly offices all over the country to advance Bloomberg’s radical agenda. The practice was blasted by both the Albuquerque Journal and the Wall Street Journal. Now, State Senator Mary Kiffmeyer from Minnesota is asking tough questions of her own AG. In…

To block or not to block? There is no question for one New Mexico state senator. Senator Mimi Stewart in one of the sponsors of New Mexico’s controversial Energy Transition Act, AKA the “mini green new deal.” You might think that as an elected leader paving the way for one of the state’s landmark energy laws, she’d be open to hearing from everyone. Think again. Power The Future’s Western State’s Director is blocked from following Senator Stewart on social media as she continues to champion radical green policies. The good Senator has yet to give a reason why. You might recall…

The eco-left wants New Mexicans to forget the oil and gas industry means over 90,000 jobs in our state and contributes 32% of the entire state budget. Yet, the energy industry continues to grow despite the political attacks from radical special interests. The latest employment numbers for New Mexico reveal what many already know: the oil and gas industry is providing great jobs and growing the economy. New Mexico added 6,400 new jobs in the mining and construction industries last month, which includes jobs from oil and natural gas. This growth comes despite the fact the state’s unemployment rate was slightly up…

They want you to believe it’s New Mexicans who want excessive new rules around methane. In reality, it looks like a single group is spending all the money to put up a digital astroturf front. In July, the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) was found running digital ads targeted at New Mexicans around imposing new rules for methane in the state. Despite the fact EPA data shows methane levels in New Mexico are dramatically falling without restrictive government rules, EDF needs to continue to push their agenda. Prior to several state hearings on the new methane rules, New Mexicans on social media were treated…

The ignorant economics of the eco-left are set to claim more than 200 jobs on the Navajo Nation later this month. Nearly all of the 265 workers at the Kayenta Coal mine, located on the Navajo Nation, are set to lose their job at the end of the month.  The eco-left will point to economics as the reason, but the truth is their constant attack on these jobs is to blame. After years of expensive fighting with the EPA, owners in the nearby plant had to give up. The plant is slated to close and the coal that fuels it…
