What is the Carlsbad Brine Well, why do we care and what difference does it make that the Senate killed several bills designed to fund its correction?
The Carlsbad Brine Well was a project years ago to remove brine water from underneath land in Carlsbad. The company doing the work filed bankruptcy and left a giant hole that has been at risk of collapsing for several years.
We have an opportunity to take advantage of new energy advances and right now you can support a New Mexico bill introduced this legislative session that will make that possible.
TELL NEW MEXICO LEGISLATORS: SUPPORT THIS COMMONSENSE BILL!The Energy Redevelopment Bond Act, SB 47/HB 80, will give the Public Regulation Commission (PRC) the oversight for PNM to issue bonds to cover costs associated with the closing the San Juan coal plant. This means that PNM and its shareholders will not face large financial losses from the early closure of this coal-fired facility and our state’s customers stand to save $100 million. Giving the PRC the authority to allow PNM to issue bonds is a smart, tactical decision that moves us to cleaner energy economically.
New Energy Economy (NEE) has a knack for sensationalism and fund raising, but not for telling the truth. And now they have fallen subject to the NMBC Truth Project.
Why should anyone care what NEE says? Its false and misleading statements have left the realm of their funders and followers and have now hit the mainstream where they are attempting to impact regulatory decisions.
The problem is that it may have worked.
For too long, New Mexicans have been missing out on the full truth about a wide variety of issues like: 1) what our electric companies go through in dealing with aggressive special interest groups to provide us with clean, affordable, energy; or 2) why some elected officials will pander to special interest groups in order to get re-elected - even when those special interest groups are destroying our economy.

As Las Cruces, like other parts of the state, looks to get their people in productive jobs, they are once again creating hardship for employers. And it's primarily employers - not government - that should be providing productive jobs for New Mexicans.
Here's something that's certainly not a surprise: NMBC has actively opposed new measures that would create unnecessary burdens on our oil and gas operators, those people who create about 100,000 of the best paying jobs in New Mexico.
