Issue Position: Environment and Climate Change

Issue Position

One of the best options at our disposal to fight climate change and protect the environment is by aggressively expand our renewable energy capabilities. We must also protect our natural resources like clean water and air and preserve our public lands for future generations.

Ensure that our environmental agencies have appropriate funding to protect our clean water and air.

Invest in electric vehicle infrastructure in New Mexico, extend tax credits for electric and hybrid vehicles, and provide tax credits for residential and commercial solar panels.

Work with oil and gas companies to aggressively reduce methane emissions - putting money back into New Mexico's coffers and helping the environment.

Retrofit buildings to be more energy efficient and increase building energy efficiency targets.

Extend access to distributed solar so that condominiums and other groups can lower utility costs by investing in solar.

Continue to invest in our outdoor recreation industries so that every New Mexican has the opportunity to enjoy our public lands and learn about our state's history.
