Speak Up, Las Cruces: The Energy Transition Act

In the second hour of the September 4, 2019 edition of Speak Up, Las Cruces, hosts Peter Goodman and Walt Rubel discussed HB 489, the Energy Transition Act, a law Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed in March that sets bold statewide renewable energy standards. What good things does the Act accomplish, what are some of the key criticisms and what are the prospects of the recently-filed lawsuit challenging its constitutionality? We talked with State Representative Nathan Small, a co-sponsor of HB 489, and Public Regulatory Commissioner Stephen Fischmann.
