The regulations were adopted mid-December in a last grasp by Richardson and his environmental cronies in Santa Fe to shove greenhouse gas rules down our throats and effectively cause power generation costs (from coal-fired plants) to sky rocket and shut down oil and gas production and refining with stringent CO2 caps. The board and agency did not look at the disputed science regarding CO2 and climate change, but accepted the claimed relationship as "settled science" and moved forward with the controls to be phased in over several years.
As with the Federal EPA, the state environmental agency and board developed and adopted the rules in spite of the state legislature rejecting similar efforts.
NM list PING!

Progress for now will be State by State.....with California ending isolated.
At least that is the way I see it!
The board should not exist.
Government at all levels is wasting precious time and money on leftist agenda. Reminds me of the scene in HBO’s Citizen X where the detective has been reporting to an absurd commie committee that does nothing but hamper his efforts. At some point when communism is falling, he shows up and the room is empty except for Donald Sutherland, who tells him they are all gone and we can finally get down to work.
BUMP for excellence!
Wow, is it ever great to see normal humans in charge again.
Housecleaning - - get rid of the scum.
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!
Now this is what Republicans should have been doing since President Reagan’s election. The nation would be in much better condition, but the spineless, colorless Democrat-Lite men who ran as Republicans sold out after every election cycle.
Bravo for the new class of courageous genuine conservatives. May God richly bless their efforts.
Very good news. At least there are some who realize jobs and the economy are more important than the feelings of enviro nazis.
N.M. Regulators Decide on Emissions Cap (Last gasp of the Richardson administration)
Correct action, wrong attribution. She needed to say that she was removing them because of concerns about "insider dealings for corporate cronies with no real environmental benefit at the expense of jobs for the people of New Mexico."
Another GOP woman with bigger “stones” than most of the GOP “men.”
Does RUSH know they are using EIB? He should sue them to change their acronym :-)
Woot Woot!!!!!!!! Only her 5th day in office and I love her already. =)
Hooray!! Another female Republican leader with brass balls.
Great start, Gov. Susana Martinez.
Global Warming on Free Republic
Yea, Susana!
What a gal!
I love conservative women.
Check this out.
Well, that’s great, but is anything being done to correct the damage? Firing the miscreants after their evildoing has become established law without fixing the damage or turning their houses into public toilets is closing the barn door after the horse is out, and would be unfortunately typical of “conservatives”.
