How I learned to love the bomb and quite worring.

This is a copy of a post I made on a talk forum:
Public energy Company of New Mexico (PNM) is set to announce a renewed push to get a 21.5% rate increase. This increase will also affect those of us in rural areas that get out energy off of Co-Ops, who use PNM lines. (this includes me.)

For those wondering why this is important, understand this: New Mexico is pushing for a State level Cap and Trade law that was initially pushed by Fmr. Gov. Richardson.

The rules (when published become law) was set to be published on January 6th, six days after the swearing in of the new Gov. (Susana Martinez.) Martinez wrote out an executive order prohibiting the rules from being published and stopped the process. She also promptly removed the EIB Board members.

Today it is reported that the NM Supreme court (which has several Richardson appointees) ruled that the rules must now be published. This means that the First State Level Cap-Tax law will go into effect. Causing rates to be driven higher.

The reason everyone in the US should be VERY conserned over this is because this law sets presidence.
Perhaps on a state level youmay think that such a law wont affect you.

But:

California has not YET imposed a formal C&T law. Because little ol’ New Mexico can do it, so can CA. And the way CA so goes the country as it is said.

Though Obama's plan could die, remember that once presidence is set,it can be downhill from there. Remember TN and MA had healthcare laws BEFORE Obama.
And MA was signed into law by a REPUBLICAN!

So folks, elections matter. And I am not being smug here, but it looks like I got a head start on no electricity. Might want to get ready for living w/o electricity at least part time.
