New Mexico obtains one third of state revenues from oil and gas.With international instability and low oil prices the state is losing alot of money.Instead of pandering to the big oil industry that is quickly becoming obsolete,causes wars,and hurts the environment; New Mexico should embrace the solar industry! New Mexico is a technology hotspot,with 2 major national labs,a space port and 2 of the best engineering schools in the country,we also have great sunshine!It’s in the best interest of new Mexico to start embracing solar energy plantations,with massive solar energy programs and plants,well not only be able to reduce the energy bills of citizens and create thousands of jobs,we can create energy and sell it to other states all the while increasing our revenue and making New Mexico an even bigger technology powerhouse.Instead of waiting for oil prices to rise in a unstable industry,lets take our future in our own hands and go solar New Mexico!
