New Mexico passes stealth “Green New Deal” law that will implode its economy, just as the state is being overrun with lawless illegals

At what point does it become appropriate to question the sanity of Left-wing Democrats when it comes to their implementation of public policy? Because if New Mexico’s ruling Dems are any indication, that time is long overdue.
Even as state taxpayers become burdened with hordes of illegal aliens who have been allowed to remain in our country because Democrats in Congress refuse to help POTUS Donald Trump reform asylum laws, Leftists in New Mexico have adopted, stealthily, a “green new deal” of their own that will completely destroy the rest of the state’s economy.
As noted by Dan Turner, executive director of Power the Future, a national nonprofit organization that advocates for American energy jobs, the plan first offered by freshman [socialist] Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), is now being silently adopted on a state-by-state basis.
“While the media is watching AOC marveling over garbage disposals and rejecting the racism of cauliflower, no one is reporting about bad laws taking shape in secret,” writes Turner.
And that, of course, is how the radical Left wants it: They can’t allow the disinfectant of sunlight and exposure to wipe away their non-stop efforts at remaking (i.e. ‘destroying’) the American economy that POTUS Trump and tax-cutting Republicans have built.
In New Mexico, newly-elected extremist Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who, shortly after taking office, pulled all of the state’s National Guard troops off border security duty because her Trump Derangement Syndrome is so pronounced, quietly signed the “Energy Transition Act” in March.
The law mandates that New Mexico, sparsely populated and devoid of a huge base of manufacturing and other corporate presence already, to become 100-percent carbon free, which is the same objective over the long term for the Green New Deal.
He further noted:
This destructive law is essentially a hidden carbon tax and will threaten the jobs of thousands of energy workers, raise utility rates, cut state revenue, and make green energy companies rich at the taxpayers’ expense.
As Turner points out, ‘green’ groups have successfully managed to rebrand “carbon tax” as “renewable energy mandates” — having been forced to change the language, as usual, in order to hide the reality of the policy.
