There is a bill in the legislature to legalize recreational marijuana. With all the costly and totally impractical legislation coming out of Santa Fe, I think the Dims have already been smoking lots of it.

A Sierra Club representative said getting to carbon-free energy in 2045 is an aspirational goal in California. In New Mexico "it's a mandate."

“closing the coal-fired San Juan Generating Station near Farmington by 2022, and for pulling out of the nearby Four Corners Power Plant by 2031”

Should PO all the Navajos and Hopis who have jobs at those plants

Probably going ballistic about it on KTNN right now

"Normal human metabolism produces heat at a basal metabolic rate of around 80 watts.[1]

During a bicycle race, an elite cyclist can produce close to 400 watts of mechanical power over an hour and in short bursts over double that — 1000 to 1100 watts"

Good luck with driving across the Country or powering a passenger train.

Sorry to appear sexist, but is there a dimbulbcrat female poli-critter out there who manages to reach a three digit IQ?

Thankfully, all the females I know have accomplishments that these dimbulb bimbos would need quotas to fake.

The nicest thing of all about progressive and science is that physics is waiting. Waiting to give them a reality willie.

Warning: Unicorn farts solidify into Democrats.

Welcome th the 17th century. You’re gonna love it there...

walking aint even carbon free...

what idjuts.

[Daniel Ramsey]

I already have plans on how to build a waste oil, wood pallet and junk mail burning boiler for my steam driven generator.

[ican'tbelieveit]

These battery storage systems are worse than fossil fuels. Toxic beyond belief.

And to have whole buildings of them? Go up in flames?

[Lean-Right]

They’re trying to stuff NM further
down the gopher hole. The only thing
keeping this state floating is it’s
oil and gas production. I would add
the dairy industry, but we all know
how they feel about cow farts.
Michell Libyan Grisham accompanied
Nancy Pelosi on a trip down to Mexico
in May 2016. Under what capacity? How
much of New Mexico did they give away?

Heard a call in on Rush I think from NM saying something like solar is not efficient in NM, but is more efficient in Midwest - that may be, but in the Midwest solar on the roof means a leaky roof ...

Will be a lot of too hot and too cold people cowering in their NM homes, giving new meaning to “the huddled masses” ... meanwhile random, long lasting black and brown outs will be touted as a feature by the socialists.

[BitWielder1]

Let's just pass a bill declaring all problems will be eliminated in 2019 and be done with it.
Why do it piece meal? AOC has shown the way to do it all. /s

[SpaceBar]

She’s insane.

[Socon-Econ]

There’ll be no excuse for any Republican failure to remind New Mexico voters about how global warming junk science is raising their electricity costs. They need to get mean about this. And fund sound-science groups.

[Vince Ferrer]

New Mexico is not a rich state, but it could be doing a lot better. Unfortunately the government is hurting development the most. New Mexico outside Santa Fe and Albuquerque is lower middle class at best, with a lot of poverty in the small towns.

These energy policies in blue states will cause a lot of migration to red states.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I’m looking for funding to study how smart phones and social media cause global warming - not carbon, SUVs, cows, and coal. If my theory and climate model are validated, I will call for a complete worldwide ban of smart phones and social media platforms. Immediately. To save the planet.

What would it take to produce, through solar, all the energy needs of the US? Estimates say that to produce the US electricity demand of 3.7 million Gwh per year, you’d need about 48,000 square kilometers of solar sites. The cost of all those solar cells? The cost of maintenance (cleaning, breakage etc)? What would that do to energy costs? What about the jobs lost by the petrochemical labor force?

Some say they would be put on rooftops. That would increase the cost of installation as well as rooftop safety problems.

What about battery storage for night time supply? Batteries add to the costs and have a limited lifespan.

The Greenies are forgetting the practicals in implementing their green Utopia.

[Libloather]

Not good enough. Cortez says we’re cooked by 2031 - startinggggg now.

[Truth29]

If implemented, this will so wreck the NM economy that the cartels will be able to buy it cheap, and the remaining Americans can just drug themselves to death.

[JudyinCanada]

If the planet is burning up by 2031, what’s the point?
