Jason Marks Misses the Mark
I didn’t come up with the title for this piece which appeared in today’s Albuquerque Journal so the point is not that renewable energy should be considered at the same level as fossil fuels.
My real point is that Marks unfairly targets the very energy industry that does so much for New Mexico’s economy in a recent opinion piece. If New Mexico produced little in the way of oil and gas, bashing the industry that fuels America’s economy would be reprehensible enough. Since we do rely disproportionately on oil and gas severance taxes, it is just ignorant and foolhardy.
