Self-determination is something the eco-left stands against at every turn. It doesn’t matter if it’s fighting against rural America or a Native American Tribe, the agenda of radical environmentalism must be followed. Thankfully, energy workers on the Navajo Nation are fighting for the right to choose what is best for their communities…and they’re winning. Just last week the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the Navajo Transitional Energy Company (NTEC) in a fight over the Four Corners Power Plant and the Navajo coal mine. Radical environmental groups, including the San Juan Citizens Alliance were likely utilizing their out-of-state…

Could changes be coming to New Mexico’s controversial Energy Transition Act? The newly enacted law, also known as the ETA, is causing no shortage of apprehension in the Land of Enchantment and especially among current and future energy workers. During an energy convention on Thursday, one soon-to-be graduate asked influential Senator John Arthur Smith about his support of the ETA. Specifically, the student asked how the bill will impact the industry where he eventually hopes to work. The Senate began his answer by saying what many already believe to be true: “Our renewable energy portfolio, and I’m not an expert…

New Mexico will host three meetings in the coming weeks designed to receive public input on new regulations around methane in the state. For now, we’ll put aside the likely fact the eco-left is already in constant contact with government officials to write the rules and focus just on the hearings. The first such hearing takes place early next and an invitation from the eco-left caught our attention. The “Call to Action” by the San Juan Citizens Alliance is clearly asking for out of state help: You might remember not too long ago we took a look at the job-killing…

When New Mexico passed its own version of the Green New Deal proponents swore ratepayers would be protected. In fact, New Mexico Senator Martin Heinrich even said, “In the long-term, the new law will save New Mexicans money in their monthly energy bills.” Fast forward less than a few months and a bureaucratic turf battle is bringing to light the real agenda with New Mexico’s Energy Transition Act (ETA.) The state’s Public Regulation Commission (PRC) is charged with managing utilities throughout New Mexico. They have recently stepped into the ETA debate with concerns the new law will increase rates. The…

ICYMI: Albuquerque Journal Blasts AG Balderas After Report Uncovers Bloomberg-Paid Eco-Lawyers In His Office Following a report detailing how New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas’ office is allowing Michael Bloomberg-paid eco-lawyers to operate from a position of authority, the Albuquerque Journal Editorial Board is blasting the arrangement for raising “the concern that these attorneys have an agenda that puts something other than N.M. taxpayers first.” They conclude that the arrangement is not “above reproach.” Read the Editorial Board’s piece here: …Does his office serve the taxpayers of New Mexico? Or a special interest group out of New York? According to a…

The message is simple: If you fight against energy workers in New Mexico, you’ll become very unpopular…quickly. Recently released data from Morning Consult shows New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is the sixth most unpopular Governor in the entire country. That’s even less popular than New York Governor Andrew Cuomo who checks in at number seven as he works to undermine energy workers in his home state. The new rankings come less than one year into Governor Lujan Grisham’s first term and are among the first to be released since she signed the controversial Energy Transition Act into law. The…

For all the whining about “out-of-state billionaires” that emanate from the eco-left you would think they would be outraged about this insider deal. However, when the out-of- state billionaire is Michael Bloomberg and the money is being used to buy lawyers at the state’s Attorney General office, it’s just business as usual in New Mexico. The Albuquerque Journal published a front-page story on Monday highlighting documents uncovered by Power The Future which exposed the Bloomberg arrangement in New Mexico. Attorneys promise to fight for Bloomberg’s agenda and are then placed in friendly Attorney General’s offices where they are given power…

Whenever there is an opportunity to save jobs there are usually any number of politicians and groups lining up to celebrate, as they should. However, in northwest New Mexico, the eco-left isn’t celebrating a proposal to save nearly 400 jobs, even though the opportunity comes with a 90 percent decrease in emissions. That’s right, the eco-left won’t celebrate jobs even when it agrees with their agenda. Currently, the San Juan Generating Station is slated to close in a few years since it is being abandoned by the state’s largest electric utility. Now a new company has come forth with a…
