The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of technology competition and innovation in how energy customers are compensated for reducing their electricity consumption.

“The decision is also a win for energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions by U.S. power producers. By compensating conservation at the same rates as coal power or dirty peaker power plants (which only turn on during peak grid times), the U.S. is maintaining the importance of energy efficiency as an important way to manage the grid.”

“The Natural Resources Defense Council wrote this morning: “The court’s welcome decision could save customers billions of dollars, move the ball forward in the fight against climate change, and remove barriers to the modernization necessary to achieve a clean, reliable and affordable grid.”

We have an amazing group of concerned, dedicated activist citizens in this State. There are so many people and groups trying to make a difference in regard to our environment. But it isn't always easy to find out about all of the events happening or keep track of the efforts that New Mexicans are making to address global warming. So I created this website in order to have a single place to go for information, if you want to get involved in climate related activities. I believe that if we work together we have the numbers that can create a greater impact and more influence, which ultimately will help us achieve our multiple environmental goals.
