Our town in New Mexico is producing so much solar power during the day it exports it to neighboring towns. They are completing a battery storage facility and have dropped electricity kwh rates twice in the last 4 years as new solar farms come online.
The bad news is that I can’t get anyone to drill a well for me and there is nobody delivering water any more so we have to pray for rain or we have no water. Municipal fiber though, and also a local wireless high speed option for those far out in the desert. Nice to see the state improving things for families but still dead last in education and structural environmental problems are getting worse.
How long until Putin’s little orange bitch notices the state name and:
- Tries to deport all of New Mexico’s residents
- Threatens NM with 100% tariffs
- Renames it to New America
- All of the above

He would have to believe New Mexico is a state in the USA first. He probably thinks it’s part of Mexico.
I mean; To be fair, I assumed it was but I’m a) not american and b) not the president of the USA.
MaximumI just assumed it would be like the child janitors on Better Off Ted
1st take: "Makes carefree kid? 2nd take: “care free of what?” “From what?” … ohhhh, I’m an idiot.
Anyway, here’s another source that makes the NM politics sound like a nightmare: https://www.kob.com/news/top-news/new-mexico-governor-announces-launch-of-universal-free-child-care-program/
Statement from New Mexico Senate Republican Leader Bill Sharer, R-Farmington
“We appreciate any opportunity to provide real solutions for New Mexicans. Just as we did during last year’s failed public safety special session…
Democrats in the legislature have opposed our common-sense proposals to improve public safety, including needed changes to juvenile justice laws and an end to the revolving-door release of repeat violent offenders. Democrats have also refused …
Statement from Democratic Party of New Mexico Chair Sara Attleson
“The Democratic Party of New Mexico is excited about the Governor’s announcement that New Mexico will expand free early childcare to even more families! …
It’s critical we make this accessible to more families during difficult economic times due to rising prices and increasing inflation caused by national GOP policies. New Mexico is already the first state in the country to constitutionally guarantee every child’s right to care, and this will expand on that progress.”
