July 20—During the summer heat, Gov. Lujan Grisham would rather leave New Mexicans without reliable power resources to appease the radical green elites.
Gov. Lujan Grisham should know our state has very hot summers and that New Mexicans overwhelmingly depend on electricity generated by fossil fuels. Power the Future observed that only 7% of renewable energy was used this week during the 101-degree weather in Albuquerque.
The Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) warned the state of impending blackouts when Lujan Grisham forced them to close their San Juan Generating Station as part of her Energy Transition Act. Renewable energy infrastructure was not in place or ready to meet her demand. Sadly it seems she didn’t care and left New Mexicans alone to suffer the consequences.
One thing is certain, while Gov. Lujan Grisham continues to push her zero-emissions mini–Green New Deal, it is once again New Mexico’s oil and gas workers who ensure your families have reliable energy during our hot summer months.
