Hello Democrats, Happy Earth Day! In New Mexico, we may take it for granted that we live in one of the most breathtaking places on Earth. White Sands, Shiprock, the Gila, Carlsbad Caverns, the Rio Grande, and many more natural treasures - we are lucky no one in New Mexico has to go far to see we are the Land of Enchantment. |
Being in this land of one-of-a-kind landscapes, ecosystems and wilderness means we have a responsibility to protect its health and prosperity for all future generations, and Democrats continue to lead the way on conservation efforts and combating climate change. |
In New Mexico, Dems are transitioning to a clean energy economy, holding the oil and gas industry accountable with firm regulations, and in the most recent legislative session, enacted a clean fuel standard and the first-of-its-kind Land of Enchantment Legacy Fund for permanent funding of ecosystem, water and land conservation. |
President Biden has made unprecedented investments in clean energy jobs & infrastructure & restored many of the environmental protections reversed by Trump and national Republicans. |
While president, Trump surrounded himself with climate change deniers, reversed regulations, removed the US from the Paris Climate Agreement, and gave billions in handouts to big oil. The consequences would be catastrophic for climate, ecosystems and wildlife if Trump gets another term. |
