The governor signed it into law.
It mandates 80% renewable power by 2030. And 100% by 2040.
But as far as I know there is no actual plan to achieve this. Just boundless optimism and other people's money.
It doesn't effect me that much but supposedly as many as 1 in 4 house holds in NM was behind on their power bill at some point in 2018 and 1 in 7 got a disconnect notice.
NM has the 5th lowest per capita income in the United States.
My highest power bill was a little over a year ago, nearly $300. Because of the cold winter and heat pump heating.
Last year I bought a wood stove and coal furnace. Even after adding the leaf my bills were all around or under $100 this winter.
The coal furnace and wood stove pretty much paid for them selves so far.
This year I'm buying tons of solar panels and doing grid tie solar and buying more coal. A lot more coal.
