NM's first community solar project went online in Valencia County last week. The 35 Megawatt project near Belen will offset the energy usage of 2,000 Homes and benefit lower income electric utility customers. www.abqjournal.com/business/art... www.kob.com/new-mexico/f...

The planet’s heating up — and so is the deadline. ⏰ Last day to tell @EPA: no more delays on the 2024 methane rule. Delay threatens health, wastes resources, and takes us backwards on #CutMethane. 📢 Comment now: sc.org/methane #ProtectOurKids #CleanAir #ClimateCrisis

Env & community groups working yrs to help the state make nation- leading methane & smog rules against all odds while some operators sued to stop them. Now thanks to leadership of the gov & her agencies in enforcing the rules, we see real pollution reductions. act.sierraclub.org/events/detai...

Calling all NM local+tribal governments: The Community Energy Efficiency Development (CEED) program has $15 million to fund #energyefficiency projects in underserved communities that reduce energy use, lower utility bills, and cut pollution. Apply by 9/25. emnrd.nm.gov/ecmd/ceed

We're moving offices. One of the movers saw this picture and said, "That's beautiful, too bad it's bone dry. People are riding their dune buggies on that." Water is scarce because of climate change. And now Trump is stopping climate action. Watch Americans speak out: usepa.zoomgov.com/j/1612886000

The bottom line is: If you make a mess, you should clean it up. This rule change will give #NMPol the necessary tools to reduce O&G well abandonment costs ($100M so far in NM and counting) falling on the public. Here's an op-ed on this topic from Camilla Feibelman of @sierrariogrande.bsky.social:

🚨 What’s an abandoned well? It’s an oil or gas well that’s been abandoned by the company that drilled it — and now leaks methane, threatens our water, and puts the public at risk. Learn what they are and why it matters: westernlaw.org/keepnmenchan...

💸 Oil corporations walk away. New Mexicans are stuck with the bill. The average cost to plug a well is $163,000. Some corporations only post $105 in bonds. See what abandoned wells really mean for our communities: 👉 westernlaw.org/keepnmenchan...

Today, @RioGrandeSierra is thanking @GovMLG & @TorrezforNM for continuing to fight for Clean Cars and Trucks and healthier air for New Mexicans to breathe. It’s time to charge forward on life-saving clean transportation policies, not back down. sc.org/402AAqt

Thank you Senator Ben Ray Luján for your efforts to save the Methane Emissions Reduction Program and protect New Mexican from this toxic air pollution that costs our state tax dollars thru the methane polluter fee. #CutMethane www.congress.gov/amendment/11...

“It is pretty disheartening to see,” Antoinette Reyes told Source NM. “By blocking off that section, which is already steep and difficult terrain as is, it forces people to go into more dangerous portions of the border to cross.” sourcenm.com/2025/07/02/a...

Time & time again, companies make empty promises to #CutMethane. Instead of holding them accountable to meet reasonable, industry-set targets, the Senate just gave them a get out of jail free card by delaying the methane polluter fee by 10 years.

Yes! People power for the win!

The Senate parliamentarian has ruled Lee’s latest lands-selloff bill in order :( We can still stop it. At least one R senator has requested an amendment vote to strip it. — Text “not for sale” to 69866 or go to sc.org/NotForSale or call (855) 980-5638 — Share & tag your senators! @schiff.senate.gov

HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too. This isn't over, but this is a huge win. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Thx AG Raul Torrez ‪@nmdoj.bsky.social for joining ten other AGs to sue the Trump Administration for its illegal attacks on life-saving clean air @govmlg.bsky.social standards. We need to do everything we can to cut deadly tailpipe pollution in our neighborhoods oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

Since 2015, groups have protested quarterly lease sales and delivered more than 2 million public comments to the Bureau of Land Management calling for an end to new oil and and gas leasing on public lands in New Mexico. #NotForSale #handsoff wildearthguardians.org/press-releas...

Every day we delay strong federal methane standards, is another day that the oil and gas industry’s pollution is poisoning the air that people breathe. Our leaders in #NewMexico must continue to maintain, enforce, and update our strong safeguards against methane pollution. #CutMethane

Thank you, Senator Heinrich, for calling out the administration's reckless proposal to transfer the management of national parks to state and local authorities with no plan to provide additional resources for states to accomplish conservation objectives.  shorturl.at/tRejc #DefendPublicLands

Thank you Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham for joining 10 other governors in launching the Affordable Clean Cars Coalition to expand Americans’ access to newer and cleaner vehicles!! Read More: usclimatealliance.org/press-releas...

Thx! @govmlg.bsky.social for supporting New Mexican's right to clean air and affordable transportation through @usclimate.bsky.social and the new Affordable Clean Cars Coalition. We will stand with our state elected leadership to protect our air, our climate and our communities!

After you flooded their offices with calls and emails, House Republicans ditched a provision in Trump's dirty and dangerous budget bill that would have sold off hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands in Nevada and Utah to help pay for billionaire tax breaks.

🚨Update 🚨 After thousands of your calls & emails to Congress, a midnight budget amendment to sell off hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands in NV and UT is DEAD. They also removed bad land-management provisions and Arctic oil and gas language. Thank you for taking action. DON’T STOP.

Thank you @heinrich.senate.gov for standing up for clean air, for clean cars and trucks, and for the expert, technical rulemaking at the U.S. EPA, that we used to have. Polluters are driving the car now.

House Republicans waited until the middle of the night to pass a measure that gives away millions of acres of public lands to private developers and oil and gas, mining, and logging corporations.

@rephuffman.bsky.social and @naturalresources.bsky.social are fighting back against Republicans’ plans to give handouts to polluters and billionaires, strip community protections, and put our economy, our climate and our future at risk.

Quotes from former NPS, BLM & USFS employees fired by Trump (a 🧵) “Public safety is on the line. The Forest Service is incapacitated. Families are being destroyed, many of us live in communities where the cost of living is through the roof, & people put their lives on the line for this community.”

We have a moral imperative to address climate change, which will have enormous impacts on the future we leave behind for our kids and beyond. Today, at the @naturalresources.bsky.social hearing, I spoke out on the GOP's giveaway to Big Oil, the most sweeping attack on our environment in history.

Everything about this Reconciliation bill in Natural Resources is a total lie. It’s bad for our: - Economy - Environment - Communities That’s why we’re prepared to sit here all day and fight it every step of the way.

Today, Republicans are holding a yard sale for America’s backyard. They're jamming through some of the nastiest environmental laws ever seen to give tax cuts to billionaires. Why? Because they want to raise a billion dollars to pay for those tax cuts. youtube.com/shorts/UbLWw...

Congressional Republicans are trying to sell out and sell off public lands to the highest bidder to fund insider tax breaks while simultaneously enriching Big Oil and other corporate insiders. www.americanprogress.org/article/cong...

As Congress prepares to include fossil-fuel giveaways in the next budget bill, a new eight-state poll, including New Mexico, shows Westerners oppose giving oil and gas companies free rein over public lands. missoulacurrent.com/public-land-...

“This is taxpayer-funded, state-sponsored religious indoctrination. You’ve just got to call it what it is.”

A LOT of people do not want to hear it but in the United States at least, food has never been safer to eat, not to mention tastier

Attacking Democrat's efforts to address our climate crisis is a major part of the reasons why we ended up having to try to survive through Trump 2.0 so I suggest that people should abandon that bad habit.

PLEASE CALL, Southern New Mexicans!

We’re seeing record #s of people calling & writing @repgabevasquez.bsky.social to reject Trump’s dirty-air measures that would strip NM of its authority to adopt strong pollution protections. In CD3? 🚨 PLEASE call 888-201-9377 or click sc.org/3YNheVp & tell Vasquez to put our kids’ air first!

We must come together in defense of Chíchil Bił Dagoteel (Oak Flat) in the face of its imminent transfer to foreign mining companies. ✊🏾 @protectoakflat.bsky.social #ProtectOakFlat Repost: Brophy Native American Club

Hey Southern NM: Last day to tell @repgabevasquez.bsky.social to vote NO on stripping New Mexico’s authority to adopt stronger-than-federal pollution safeguards: sc.org/3YNheVp

The U.S. House is set to vote tomorrow on revoking New Mexico’s authority to adopt stronger-than-federal pollution reductions under the Clean Air Act. Live in Southern NM? Please tell @repgabevasquez.bsky.social to vote NO: sc.org/3YNheVp

Join the NM Geothermal webinar tonight! 6:30PM MT Tue April 29, 2025. "Exciting Developments in New Mexico’s Advanced Geothermal prospects". The geothermal companies looking at the state, first projects, new graduate training, state incentives, etc. us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.

A fossil-fuel lobbyist’s dream: Get a president who will destroy climate protections and then strip states of their power to reduce pollution. What do you get? Lots of human misery and some very rich oil and gas magnates.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

The U.S. House is set to vote tomorrow on revoking New Mexico’s authority to adopt stronger-than-federal pollution reductions under the Clean Air Act. Live in Southern NM? Please tell @repgabevasquez.bsky.social to vote NO: sc.org/3YNheVp

Hey Southern New Mexico! The U.S. House will likely vote soon on whether to revoke New Mexico’s authority to adopt stronger-than-federal pollution reductions under the Clean Air Act — including Clean Cars 🚗. Tell Rep. Gabe Vasquez to vote NO: sc.org/3YNheVp

Water is life! That’s why it is critical that the Air Force complete the cleanup of Kirtland Air Force Base jet fuel leak dating back to 1999. 26 years later, we are still waiting. The New Mexico Delegation and our communities deserve answers on what is taking so long. We must protect our waters!

The @lungassociation just released their 2025 State of the Air report. Nearly half the people in the U.S. are breathing unhealthy air. We need to protect EPA’s staff and lifesaving work, including measures that #CutMethane. Learn more: Lung.org/sota
