Predictably, Environmentalists Double-Cross PNM

Now that Public Service Company of New Mexico has been forced to risk huge investments in so-called renewable energy facilities as required by a series of laws passed during the Bill Richardson years, two environmental groups are planning to challenge PNM’s application for an annually adjusted renewable energy charge that will attempt to recover its costs.
In PNM's plan to recover its investment, the company wants to add less than $1.40 each month to the average residential bill. This will enable PNM to recover its costs for renewable projects brought on line since January of 2011. Ultimately the utilities next general rate case would provide the final determination method for PNM’s cost of investment recovery.

Both Western Resource Advocates and the Coalition for Clean and Affordable Energy were huge advocates of passing the legislation forcing PNM to make investments in the renewable facilities. As predicted by experts appearing on News New Mexico and in other forums, now both of these so-called environmental groups intend to deny PNM the right to recover the costs it was forced to make. Western’s Steve Michel told the Albuquerque Journal his group and the Coalition for Clean and Affordable Energy will contest the utility’s proposal.
PNM spokesperson Susan Sponar responded to the attacks by environmental groups in the Albuquerque Journal. “PNM is only proposing to recover costs that have been fully identified and approved after hearings for its annual renewable compliance plans.”

Seven Steps to Restore a Healthy America

A Plan for Prosperity by Greg Sowards, U.S. Senate Candidate

Greg Sowards

Every year, one out of six dollars generated in the U.S. economy - $2.5 Trillion - is spent on medical care. The high cost of quality care is the root cause of America’s 21st Century health crisis. Fraud, a broken medical malpractice system and illegal immigration accelerate runaway health care costs. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, is incompatible with consumer choice and free markets. The American people are calling out for leaders who can provide solutions that alleviate high costs and deliver accessible health care. Americans do not want a bureaucrat from Washington standing between their family and their doctor.

When I am elected as the next U.S. Senator from New Mexico, I will work to Restore a Healthy America with a seven step plan:

Step 1 - Repeal Obamacare
Step 2 - End Fraud
Step 3 - Cut Waste
Step 4 - Save Medicare
Step 5 - Empower States
Step 6 - Reward Responsibility
Step 7 - Defend Doctors
