Local elected officials need a long-term plan to drive down rising costs in their communities. Voting down the #ClearHorizonsAct was a missed opportunity for New Mexico’s economic stability and clean energy future.

The Senate rejected the #ClearHorizonsAct 19–23.
But rising energy costs, water stress, and disaster spending didn’t disappear with that vote.
New Mexicans deserve long-term planning to protect family budgets and hold major polluters accountable.
We’ll keep working.

When rivers run low and herds are de-stocked, families feel it first.
Protecting water means protecting agriculture, local economies, and household budgets.
The #ClearHorizonsAct plans ahead. This is what we expect from our leaders. We must face reality and act bravely.

“Let’s not wait 2 years. Let’s not wait 5 years. We have the opportunity act now.” ~ Sen. Pope closing his comments in support of the Clear Horizons Act on the Senate floor
Will the Senate take the opportunity? Will we choose stability and certainty for New Mexicans?

Lawmakers are outlining what families already know: wildfires, drought, & rising insurance costs are not theoretical.
The case for the #ClearHorizonsAct is strong - because the risks New Mexicans face are real.

“I have talked to a lot of people about this bill & there’s so many untruths being said about this bill” Sen. Sedillo-Lopez re: dis- & mis-info campaign launched to defeat climate action.
Well-funded scare campaigns always show up when accountability is on the table. #ClearHorizonsAct #NMLeg

Businesses need predictability. Families need stability. The #ClearHorizonsAct provides long-term certainty so NM can grow responsibly without price spikes and reactive policymaking.
Planning ahead is pro-business and pro-family - simply smart economics.

Do you know what “snow drought” means? We are at 50% of the snow fall we should have.
Winter is when snow is suppose to build up and slowly melt and replenish our groundwater. 90% of New Mexicans rely on groundwater for drinking water.
This is climate change.

Hotter summers & longer droughts are already stressing NM’s water - acequias, watersheds & drinking supplies. Our economy runs on our water.
Protecting our water means planning ahead.

Wildfires. Drought. Flooding. Extreme Heat.
We can either keep paying for disaster recovery - or plan ahead to reduce the pollution making these crises worse.
That’s what the #ClearHorizonsAct does.

New Mexicans are already paying for climate disasters - through higher insurance rates, emergency response costs, and rising energy bills.
The #ClearHorizonsAct is about planning ahead so families don’t keep footing the bill.

The #ClearHorizonsAct passed two committees. Next stop Senate Floor. NM families need stability and predictability. The #ClearHorizonsAct locks in long-term pollution reduction goals already set by the state, protecting families from rising costs.

Sometimes the sign is literally in the sky ☁️✨
Clean air, strong climate action, and a future our communities can count on is not too much to ask. SB18 needs a Do Pass. 🗣️🌎

The cost of living has reached historic highs, and the #ClearHorizonsAct can help by locking in New Mexico’s commitment to cheap renewable energy sources. Thank you to the Senate tax committee members who supported it.

For the Tax, Business & Transportation Committee: Clear Horizons = smarter planning, lower long-term costs, business certainty, and economic stability for NM families. SB18 passes 6-4! On to the Senate floor. #ClearHorizonsAct #ActOnClimate #NMLeg

Let us remind ya’ll: Climate change fuels megafires that destroy homes & cost families everything. The Forest Service made this clear after Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon. Planning ahead reduces the conditions that turn sparks into disasters. #ClearHorizonsAct #NMLeg www.cnbc.com/2022/06/22/f...

If NM truly produces some of the cleanest oil in the world, then meeting Clear Horizons’ pollution limits should be achievable AND a competitive advantage.
Planning ahead rewards leaders, not laggards.

Two things can be true:
✅ Oil & gas contributes to NM’s budget
✅ Climate disasters + volatility are already costing families & the state BILLIONS
Planning ahead protects both budgets, families, and communities.

When families talk about rising costs, it’s “boohooing.”
When industry spends millions on scare campaigns, it’s “serious concern.”
New Mexicans see the difference.

“We can no longer afford to let industry lobbyists call climate action “too expensive” while New Mexicans are left to foot the real bill in emergency funds, in lost lives, and in a future that grows more uncertain by the day.”

The Clear Horizons Act focuses on large industrial polluters & helps prevent much bigger costs from disasters & emergency response & we’re already looking at over $4 Billion in costs. Families can’t absorb that & shouldn’t have to. www.nmvoices.org/archives/20521 #ClearHorizonsAct #NMLeg

“As Diné people we are taught about living in balance with the natural world. In the San Juan Basin, pollution isn’t abstract. The cumulative impact of this pollution harms us.” ~ Rhoda Adeky, Naeva, Farmington, speaking in support of SB18. #ClearHorizonsAct #NMLeg
