Nuclear Energy in New Mexico, Update: It seems a nerve was hit at the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (PRC), concerning ties between a hearing officer and the Sierra Club. It was brought to their attention that the hearing officer in a current PNM case has been listed in public records as a ‘Sierra Club Outing Director.’ Read the article from the Albuquerque Journal titled, Sierra Club Ties Re-emerge in PNM Case, HERE.
NMBC Supports Nuclear Energy Options for New Mexico Electricity – you can too by signing the petition HERE.
The Sierra Club and PRC Hearing Officer ties are worth PRC awareness given that the hearing officer recommended against PNM being allowed to recover one cent of investment in nuclear energy, which corresponds with the Sierra Club’s position of being, “…unequivocally opposed to nuclear energy.” The Albuquerque Journal Editorial Board weighed in on the issue HERE.
