Governor Says New Mexico A “Shining Example” of Clean Energy…Facts Disagree

July 15, 2021

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham made another one of those “life is great” speeches to her eco-left friends this week. While speaking to the Environmental Council of States 2021 State Environmental Protection meeting the Governor said:

“New Mexico is serving as a shining example to other states and countries,” said Gov. Lujan Grisham. “If other states and countries are looking for a climate action model to follow, look to New Mexico.”

The Governor is half right: New Mexico is an example of the radical green agenda, but it’s far from shining.

The Governor’s green agenda is causing eclectic rates to go up faster than the national average at a time when New Mexico’s unemployment rate is among the highest in the country. In just the last year, every utility in the state failed to meet the standard for her energy transition, and New Mexicans were asked to use less electricity as triple-digit heat hit parts of the state. New Mexico’s working families are being forced to pay for the Governor’s failed green agenda and no state should follow such an example.

Governor Lujan Grisham’s remarks are a shining example of what happens when you “transition” away from the truth.
