Proposed data center threatens our air quality
Open-ended public comment period now open!
This proposed project, just 59 miles from Silver City and 30 from Lordsburg would produce 3 times as much air pollution as current local mining operations. Do we want this upwind of us?

Haaland leads Hull 17 percentage points in first public poll
Let's all vote and make it a total landslide!
In case you needed another reason to vote for Deb Haaland:
Her opponent Greg Hull says he is ‘fully committed’ to conspiring with Texas Gov. Abbot to stop Texans seeking abortions in New Mexico

Project Ranger (Castelion) is moving forward with solid rocket motor manufacturing and weapons system testing and build out in our community. Not in our immediate neighborhood (Rio Rancho) , but the environmental effects can be devastating and far-reaching. Ever see a solid-booster space launch? Do we want that tested anywhere in NM? SpaceX is bad enough.

Riiight... so they can suck up more power for themselves.
Funny thing about electric rates:
Commercial users - The bigger the user, the lower the KwH rate, as low as 6/10 of a cent off peak.
Residential users - The more we use, the higher the KwH rate.
First 450 KwH/ month - 9 cents (rounded)
Next 450 KwH/month - 15 cents
Additional KwH/month - 20 cents
Just a little food for thought.
