Intrepid’s fertilizer mining and production facilities are already an important source of good-paying jobs in Southeastern New Mexico. This $139 million investment will dramatically build on that. The new facility near Carlsbad will create…

The Strategic Petroleum Readiness and Long-Term Modernization Act will do just that by mandating that we create a long-term plan to maintain the SPR and ensure we have the tools we need to prevent the SPR from collapsing in times of crises.

President Trump’s war with Iran is depleting the SPR to historic lows, endangering critical energy infrastructure, and threatening our ability to help keep costs low for working families.

I believe deeply that this is the right step for New Mexico, and the right step for our country.

But it does this on set, predictable timelines.

We know that this approach will work. Preliminary data suggest that this bipartisan legislation will create over 21,000 good-paying jobs for New Mexicans, contribute $1.7 billion in labor income for our state, and produce $5 billion in…

The result: bipartisan legislation that will help deliver cheaper energy to New Mexico homes, create more jobs for New Mexico workers, and make sure that our energy growth is both responsible and future-forward.

If we have any hope of cutting energy costs and creating more good-paying jobs to help hardworking New Mexicans support their families, then we need to be able to build big clean energy projects in a matter of years — not decades.

I helped get SunZia permitted because I recognized the enormous opportunity it represented for New Mexico and our climate.

New Mexico veterans have sacrificed so much in service to our country, and we owe them and their families a lasting a debt of gratitude.

BLM should listen to the voices of the American people and carefully consider the many uses of public land before hastily greenlighting data center buildout on public lands.

When BLM makes decisions about public land, it should always consider the best interest of the public and the communities that will be directly impacted by its decision.

We should be building the infrastructure America needs, not making families foot the bill for permitting delays.

BAAJA will help get more affordable energy connected to the grid while making sure massive energy consumers like data centers pay up.

These independent analyses show exactly what we stand to gain by fixing our broken permitting system: lower electricity bills, cleaner air, healthier communities, and more reliable energy infrastructure.

“We have spent months working across party lines on both sides of Capitol Hill and with President Trump to deliver permitting reform that makes it easier to build in America. This substitute amendment reflects that work and brings us…
