Across the world, the green agenda comes with a price and New Mexico is no different. According to Choose Energy, families in the Land of Enchantment paid the 13th highest electric rates in the country. To make matters worse, while the cost of electricity across the United States rose .4 percent, the cost in New Mexico skyrocketed ten times higher. Higher electric bills are the result of New Mexico’s Energy Transition Act championed by Governor Lujan Grisham and her environmental supporters. Proponents of the law promised it wouldn’t raise electric rates, but it’s now clear they were either ignorant or…

For years, Victor Snover was one of the eco-left’s favorite voices in New Mexico. The (soon-to-be-former) mayor of Aztec was regularly put on display as the “environmentalist mayor in oil country” and in return, he was widely quoted in the media. Snover was so critical to their astroturf messaging, he enjoyed the endorsement of New Mexico’s senior US Senator and Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. However, just like renewable energy, these endorsements failed to deliver any power. Snover was soundly defeated for reelection with 68 percent of his constituents voting against him. Families are upset about skyrocketing gas prices and other…

New Mexico Governor Lujan Grisham plans to attend the UN Climate Summit in Glasgow, Scotland later this month. This lecture opportunity comes as she leads a state that is among the worst in the nation for unemployment. Power The Future Communications Director Larry Behrens said on the Governor’s plans to attend, “New Mexico is a national leader in unemployment and rising electric bills so it’s no surprise Governor Lujan Grisham wants to jet off to Scotland and leave her record behind. Additionally, it is the height of hypocrisy for the Governor to hop on a plane instead of appearing virtually….

Families in Europe aren’t the only ones grappling with higher energy costs because of the green agenda, New Mexicans appear to be following a similar path. The latest numbers from Choose Energy show New Mexicans are paying nearly 5 percent more for electricity than at the same time last year. While the national price for power per kilowatt hour is 13.9 cents, families in the Land of Enchantment are shelling out 14.49 cents for the same amount of electricity. In fact, New Mexico is now paying the 14th highest electric bills in the nation trailing only California, Hawaii, and states…

If there’s one thing eco-politicians love, it’s consuming massive amounts of fossil fuels jetting off to faraway lands so they can lecture everyone else about using fewer fossil fuels. New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is no different. Through a Freedom of Information Act request, Power The Future learned Lujan Grisham wants to travel to Scotland at the end of the month to speak about climate. High-level staffers within Lujan Grisham’s office wanted her to be included on a list of potential speakers at the event and a spokeswoman for her office said traveling to Scotland “would certainly be an…

New Mexico Senator, and Maryland resident, Martin Heinrich owes a lot to the environmental lobby. In fact, environmental groups are the biggest donor to Heinrich’s campaign, so his latest announcement should come as no surprise. Heinrich responded to a letter from environmental groups where he threw his support behind ending subsidies for oil and natural gas companies. Given that Heinrich must do what eco-left lobbyists tell him to do means his announcement is really no surprise. However, it might come as a surprise to families in New Mexico where the unemployment rate is among the worst in the nation and…

The fact that electric bills are on one the rise and families are paying more at the pump matter little to New Mexico Senator Martin Heinrich as he rallies to support Joe Biden’s expensive infrastructure plan. As reported this week, the Biden plan would place penalties on any electric provider who does not abide by his forced grid transition. This key component of the proposal even has some Democrats concerned. Heinrich’s support comes as his constituents are paying over $1 per gallon more for gasoline than they were a year ago. Additionally, New Mexico’s unemployment rate is among the worst…

Following the green agenda comes at a price, and for New Mexico that price is nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars. That’s the price tag for new eco-left regulations put forth by New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. A study conducted by the bipartisan Legislative Finance Committee revealed it would cost the state $730 million in lost revenue. Now, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are asking tough questions about whether or not the administration considered the massive economic impact of new regulations. So far, it appears the answer is clear: they did not.

The numbers don’t lie. New Mexico is once again the beneficiary of a record budget surplus thanks to the state’s oil and natural gas workers. A state legislative committee reported New Mexico is on track to take in $8.8 billion dollars in revenue. This increase means the state now has an additional $1.4 billion to spend next year. This massive opportunity for New Mexico’s schools, infrastructure and public safety would be impossible without the oil and natural gas industry. That is the very industry massively funded eco-left groups, and their political allies, are continually trying to destroy. In fact, it…

A new poll shows sagging approval numbers for Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and Senators Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Lujan, and it’s no surprise that they are seeing their public support slide. The one thing they all have in common is their ability to ignore New Mexico’s working families while only listening to radical environmentalist special interests. New Mexico is a national leader in unemployment and all these three politicians can talk about are plans to raise the price of gas, increase our electric bills, and hike the cost of cars.  While these green proposals might help Lujan Grisham, Heinrich…
