Summer is over. The numbers are in: New Mexico just experienced its hottest summer on record.

Climate change is real and it’s happening right here, right now. That’s why I’ve spent the last eight years taking climate action seriously and positioning New Mexico to lead in the clean energy economy.

Today, more than half of New Mexico’s electricity comes from renewable energy. We surpassed our 50% renewable energy goal five years ahead of schedule. We’ve doubled our wind power capacity, built one of the fastest-growing clean energy workforces in the country and attracted billions of dollars in private clean energy investment.

The data is clear. So is our responsibility. New Mexico will keep leading.
