Denish Backs Federal Cap and Trade

Diane Denish

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Diane Denish supports the so-called Cap and Trade legislation proposed by her fellow party members at the national level. However, she opposes similar legislation proposed at the state level. Her reasoning is that if only New Mexico enacts energy industry restrictions that kill jobs, we will weaken the state in terms of its competitive position. She does not address what happens to energy producing states if the ideas are passed at the national level or what happens to the U.S. competitive position at the international level. Her ideas on the subject of Cap and Trade are posted on her website, which can be accessed by clicking here:
