New Mexico votes for renewable energy

The New Mexico house has passed a bill, supported by Gov. Richardson, to create an agency to oversee certain programs for renewable energy and issue bonds to finance wind and other clean utility projects. The bill will now go to the state senate.

According to the AP, "Richardson said the bill 'will help ranchers diversify into the burgeoning wind-energy market.' "

Using technology to create clean energy helps us all by making the environment healthier, ensuring our national security by making us more self-sustaining and less dependant on resources from volatile regions, and provides new high-tech jobs in a growing industry. In other words, the ultimate win-win.
