DISQUS

Although I'm an advocate for renewable energy (solar & wind power), I'm not a fan of these types of projects. Personally, I think instead of building huge wind farms and the then needed transmission lines to carry that energy to homes & businesses, it would be more cost efficient and to install solar panels & smaller wind turbines on individual homes & businesses.

Building codes should be changed so that all new construction of residential & commercial property includes the installation of wind & solar power. Also, existing homes & businesses should also begin a phased retrofitted with wind & solar power so that within 10 years, all buildings are off the power grid.

I think it is a viable alternative to continued dependence on coal-powered & nuclear-powered power plants, which both have some serious drawbacks. The big drawback of my idea is that it is a threat to existing power-producing corporations that rely on our continued dependence on their system and that monthly payment to keep them in business.

Who ever does go on Colbert's "Better Know a District" segment better be on top of their game.

The government at all levels, federal, state, county & municipal, are secular governments & base their laws upon the US Constitution, not upon the bible or any other religious text or dogma.

The New Mexico state law prohibits discrimination based upon that person's race, color, national origin, religion, ancestry, gender, age (if 40 or over), physical and mental handicap, serious medical condition, disability, spousal affiliation, sexual orientation and gender identity.

If someone has a compelling arguement that is not based upon a religios belief of why only a man and a woman can marry, I'd like to hear it.

I liked Obama's statement that it might take him 2 terms to fix the problems Bush has caused. Too funny. Nice to see he's thinking ahead- to 2012.

So far, no fall-out to Wilson's campaign from the book, or at least none that I've heard.

I'm not sure that I'm more surprised that Martin Heinrich remembered all those e-mails and blog posts from Darren White or that they could still be found after all these years. I guess nothing ever dies on the internet. That might just be the best reason yet for every blog site to have a spell check available before we hit the "post comment" icon.

Why not have the city zoning laws require all new businesses & homes built be required to have at least solar panels on the roof to off-set the energy consumption? I'd like to see even more done (i.e. wind power & water reclaimation) but the developers & Mayor Marty would balk at that.

Is Rio Rancho considered to have a high density hispanic or native population?
Many RR voters stood in long lines to vote because the Democratic Party failed to anticipate the large voter turnout. Hopefully the SoS won't make the same mistake.

The bad news: Voter turnout has been higher than predicted.
The good news: Voter turnout has been higher than predicted.

Vote Early- Vote often!

Instead of investing money in uranium mining, which has had a detrimental effect on the Dine' & the environment, people should invest in solar & wind power instead.

Whether the report was released now or at the end of the month, Vigil-Giron is either incompetent or a criminal for not following the law & squandering millions of dollars. Will the report being released 2 weeks early really make much of a difference to the voters? With the history of New Mexico politics, we’ll have to wait until November to know for sure.
