Thank you for the NO vote from members of the NM House of Representatives who did not support SB14, titled "ENACTING THE CLEAN FUEL STANDARD ACT." The body understands a better way to recognize & embrace bottom-up innovations protecting our vulnerable populations. #nmpol
This bill would have required “clean” transportation fuels, setting standards of 20 percent cleaner by 2030 and 30 percent by 2040.
It would have provided cronyist incentives for fuels, such as ethanol, biodiesel, low-carbon hydrogen, renewable natural gas, and renewable electricity for electric vehicles.
AFP believes environmental and climate regulations that constrain choice and replace consumer preferences with politically preferred technology and fuels hurt the most vulnerable citizens.
A better way is to recognize & embrace bottom-up innovations, remove barriers to voluntary efficiency & environmental progress, reorient programs away from restrictions on new market entrants, & streamline permitting and licensing requirements for all types of energy innovation.
We strive to let the market deliver the right mix of energy at the lowest cost, we support energy policies that are fuel and technology neutral. This legislation will be included in our 2022 Legislative Scorecard.
