During the 2021 legislative session, Senator Mimi Stewart and Rep. Nathan Small sponsored Senate Bill 12, the New Mexico Clean Fuel Standard, which creates a market for lessening the carbon intensity of transportation fuels. Clean Fuel Standards drive economic development, benefit existing and new industries and help create jobs.     This one-hour meeting will review the basics of a clean fuel standard, discuss what industries would benefit from a New Mexico standard and provide an overview of the economic benefits of diversifying New Mexico’s economy with industries that use technologies to produce alternative fuels including renewable natural gas, hydrogen, biofuels and electrification. Industries such as agriculture, oil and gas, transportation and bioproducts all have an opportunity to participate in a Clean Fuel Standard.

Making the switch to solar energy saves U.S. homeowners utility costs each year and it is easier to go solar than ever before. To help consumers better understand their options, the American Solar Energy Society (ASES) is hosting its 26th annual ASES National Solar Tour on October 2-3, 2021, and the surrounding weekends. The National Solar Tour is generously supported by All Points North Foundation. https://bit.ly/2YMZugX
