By now, the public is well aware of the “Green New Deal” proposed by freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. They have not responded well to calls for forced veganism and banning airplanes, let alone giving up the American way of life made possible by cheap energy.
But while Ocasio-Cortez has taken the brunt of the media focus, environmental groups have developed a new strategy to get their way: pass a type of “Green New Deal” state by state.
It’s a smart tactic. They get friendly, left-leaning state legislators and governors, most of whom they financially backed in the past election, to do their dirty work. While the media is watching AOC marveling over garbage disposals and rejecting the racism of cauliflower, no one is reporting about bad laws taking shape in secret.

When they ban gasoline cars, the poor and middle class in New Mexico will suffer
I’m safe in NYS at least till 2 or 3 am.!///////
I got out just in time!
Insanity.
Back to the stone age.
They will suffer long before that. NM is part of the oil economy of the southwest.
And when the high speed trains get started in NM and hit the ramps in California to jump across the Pacific Ocean-—good luck to all. No airplane travel allowed, of course.
They’re studying the stunt driving in Smoky and he Bandit and the Blues Brothers movies to get the exact angle right.
The scourge of the NM Lujan clan thrives in it’s vision to make New Mexico part of Mexico again.
This will effectively kill the New Mexico economy, which is primarily based on the natural gas and oil industry. The state was starving during the Obama administration because of the prohibitive regulations.
It should be a state issue. The federal government is too nosy. The blue state can fall off the fiscal cliff.
I used to think there was a gasoline price point in California (my home back in the good old days) after which they would rise up.
Ahnold was a half-hearted attempt to do so and failed in his flabby administration.
I guess Californians will be cool with $10/gallon gasoline. Seriously. The more the legislature takes, the more Californian select more.
As an ex-Californian I can take some schadenfreudian satisfaction that the only taxes left are so regressive that they destroy the poor California claims to love while only punishing the wealthy limolibs.
Win/Win until you consider the Golden State I grew up in is now Calcutta or Bangladesh.
I think Oregon full on commie Dem majority is in process of doing the same
100% Green Energy, or else...
NM is second in state GDP (oil and gas) following Texas as No1 with West Virginia following in third place (oil, LNG and Coal)
Say goodby to all that when the Green nonsense takes place.
(by 2045... DC passed their law and set 2032 as the target date)
Driving should be banned for those under 21. Let the young people see what it will be like without cars.
What we found was disturbing. The emails revealed how the state’s energy secretary, Sarah Cottrell Propst, encouraged multiple eco-groups review the bill’s language as it was being written. In one instance, she allowed the group who employed her just months before, a renewable energy trade group called Interwest, to influence the bill.
Interwest makes money from renewable energy companies, the very companies now guaranteed to control the state’s energy industry by the bill they themselves wrote.
Exactly.
Feel bad for you guys in NM, Michigan is a battleground right now. GOP is totally feckless and way too blue blooded here.
I live in West Texas, but our oil industry is closely tied to that of Eastern New Mexico, and I can nearly guarantee you that the people who live there won’t be happy about this idiotic decision on the part of their moronic leftie governor! I hope the people there rise up and say NO!
