NEW MEXICO IS TAKING AN “ALL OF THE ABOVE” APPROACH TO ENERGY IN A NEW PLAN RELEASED MONDAY. THAT’S HOW GOVERNOR MARTINEZ DESCRIBES THE STATE ENERGY PLAN, THE FIRST IN NEARLY 25 YEARS.
SOME OF THE MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE ENERGY BLUEPRINT INCLUDE IMPROVED ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE, SUCH AS RAIL LINES AND ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION EQUIPMENT, IMPROVED WORKFORCE TRAINING AT HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS, REVAMPING REGULATORY PROCESSES AND EXPLORING NEW ENERGY OPPORTUNITIES, AND EXPANDING COAL EXPORTS TO NORTH AMERICAN, EUROPEAN AND ASIAN CUSTOMERS.
