RPNM STATEMENT ON GOV. LUJAN GRISHAM’S TESTIMONY BEFORE A CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE ON REDUCING METHANE POLLUTION FROM OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION
Albuquerque, June 14—The following is a statement from Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce following Gov. Lujan Grisham’s testimony today before the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis on cutting methane gas pollution. During her testimony she touted New Mexico’s green policies, while claiming New Mexico’s energy rules are a “model for the nation” an “economic driver” and “create a predictable and fair environment for industry.”
As Lujan Grisham spouts off her promises of green jobs, deliberately moves away from fossil fuels and basks in her sea of regulations, progressive policies at the federal and state level have killed our economy and driven up energy costs. New Mexicans are now paying the highest prices ever for gasoline, and they feel the pain. It costs $100 to fill up a vehicle, and there’s no sign of relief at the pumps because of Biden’s policies and Lujan Grisham’s Green New Deal.
“Today’s testimony before a Congressional committee once again demonstrates that our Governor is out of touch with her energy policies. She continues to use the national stage to try to advance her political standing, but, more importantly, Lujan Grisham’s progressive platforms defy what’s right for New Mexico. She will always turn her back on her state’s needs and the vital oil and gas industry that’s the driving fiscal engine in New Mexico. This important industry pours billions of dollars into our state coffers and provides more than a hundred thousand direct or related jobs. This Governor continues her efforts to impose painful regulations against oil and gas, and it’s crystal clear that Lujan Grisham has become a true threat to our essential energy sector and the future of our state. New Mexico can become a key player to provide energy independence for our nation, but Lujan Grisham and her progressive pals hold steadfast to the belief that $100 to fill your tank is right for consumers. RPNM believes gas and food should be affordable to working class citizens.”
