New Mexico’s Eco-Left Wants to Put Families Out of Work in Favor of Chinese-Made Solar

July 24, 2020

Next week, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission is set to make some decisions about replacing the power from the San Juan Generating Station (SJGS.)

The SJGS station has provided reliable and affordable power for decades while also serving as an economic driver to Northwest New Mexico. Sadly, eco-extremists have worked to undermine the station to the point to where it’s currently slated to close in 2022.

Now, state regulators are deciding how to replace the massive power loss from the station and the eco-left is demanding solar sources as the only answer. The decision comes just as Power The Future releases a study showing how the materials needed for solar panels are mostly made in China, a nation with a terrible human rights and environmental record.

How do New Mexico’s eco-extremists feel about killing jobs in New Mexico in favor of Chinese-made power? They don’t want to talk about it.
