A New Day at IPANM

Anti-Industry Politics

As the voice of Independent producers in New Mexico, IPANM’s mission is protect, defend, and promote the work of our members and all of industry. New Mexico’s future and America’s future needs to be shaped by a policy of energy freedom. This “all of the above” approach is fundamental to ensuring all sources of energy–including fossil fuels–can compete to produce safe, reliant, and affordable energy to better the human condition. However, dangerous forces are pushing against energy freedom. Local, state, and federal governments are under the thumb of disingenuous environmental groups who want to pick-and-choose energy winners, under the guise of climate change. With governments already mobilized to kill the oil and gas industry in favor of unreliable and expensive renewable sources, New Mexico & America stand to lose jobs and domestic security. Furthermore, reducing fossil fuel supplies disproportionately hurts those in poverty (18% of New Mexicans). The “Green New Deal” and other progressive policies must be exposed for what they are: a pathway to self-inflicted, socio-economic suffering. With a weakened domestic energy landscape, Americans will beholden to nefarious foreign governments (such as Russia and China). As already demonstrated, these foreign powers do not have the best interests of the people or the planet at heart.

Santa Fe New Mexico (Nov. 14, 2021) — House GOP Leader Jim Townsend says that a cleaner New Mexico economy is a worthy goal, but warns that extreme Green policies are hurting New Mexicans instead of helping. In an opinion editorial published on Sunday, Nov. 14, 2021, Rep. Townsend writes, “Whether it’s higher gasoline prices, costlier heating and cooling bills, and more expensive cars and trucks, those in charge are more than willing to force these higher prices on working families as the cost for being a “global leader” on climate change. These edicts have already proven to be detrimental to working families in European economies, and now we are supposed to sit by and allow one of the most impoverished states in the nation to carry the eco-left’s Green New Deal experiment.”

Carbon-free fairy tale doesn’t recognize reality

The Center Square (Nov. 10, 2021) – President Joe Biden’s nominee for the comptroller of the Currency, Saule Omarova, said she wants to bankrupt smaller players in the natural gas, oil and coal industries to help reverse climate change.

Omarova, a Cornell University law professor, said in a Jain Family Institute’s Social Wealth Seminar in February that “a lot of the smaller players in the oil and gas and coal industry will probably go bankrupt in the short order, or at least we want them to go bankrupt if we want to tackle climate change.”

Omarova’s nomination has been criticized by Republicans and business groups who say she is extreme, particularly when it comes to her views on the oil and gas industry.

Biden Nominee Wants to Bankrupt ‘Smaller’ U.S. Oil Producers

Carlsbad Current Argus (November 3, 2021) – New federal controls on methane emissions from oil and gas operations were championed by environmental groups in New Mexico as needed, aggressive action to mitigate manmade pollution and induced climate change. But, industry leaders said burdensome regulations could stymie American energy production and force the nation to rely on foreign sources such as from Russia or the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

Pinon Post (October 28, 2021) – An extreme proposal that died in the 2021 Legislative Session is back for the 2022 30-day Legislative Session. Far-left members of the New Mexico House of Representatives and Senate proposed a bill, S.J.R. 3, that would change Article Two of the state’s constitution to add “environmental rights.”

The Most Extreme Proposed Assault on NM Oil & Gas Returning At 2022 Legislative Session

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) October 5, 2021 — Top officials with the largest Native American tribe in the United States are renewing a request for congressional leaders to hold a field hearing before deciding on federal legislation aimed at limiting oil and gas development around Chaco Culture National Historical Park.

The Navajo Nation has struggled for years with high poverty rates and joblessness, and the tribe’s legislative leaders say individual Navajo allottees stand to lose an important source of income if a 10-mile (16-kilometer) buffer is created around the park as proposed. They’re calling for a smaller area of federal land holdings to be made off limits to oil and gas development as a compromise to protect Navajo interests.

Western Energy Alliance (October 5, 2021) – The budget reconciliation bill before Congress would, if passed with all the public lands provisions, drive oil and natural gas producers off federal lands in Colorado and across the West to other areas of the country or overseas. If passed as-is, it would achieve the President’s goal of “no federal oil.”

The dozens of policies put forward in the name of climate change may sound good to some. But does anyone think for a moment that reducing oil and natural gas produced in America is going to reduce their use overall?

The Washington Times (September 30, 2021) – The 24th Navajo Nation Council has come out against President Biden’s $3.5 trillion social welfare and climate change bill because it bans new drilling outside Chaco Culture National Historical Park in northwestern New Mexico. The Navajos said the ban is a “real threat” to the livelihoods of tribal members.

Navajo Nation Opposes New Mexico Drilling Ban Tucked Into Biden’s $3.5 Trillion Bill

Representative Yvette Herrell (September 20, 2021) – Over the last several weeks, my Democratic colleagues in Congress have begun drafting their $3.5 trillion spending spree that will inflict more crippling inflation and debt upon the American people. Thus far, the budget contains too many horrible proposals to list. Of particular importance to Southern New Mexico, the bill will nickel and dime the oil and gas industry, our districts’ largest job creator, off of federal lands and out of most of New Mexico.

Democrat Oil & Gas Tax Policies Harm American Families

Hobbs News-Sun (May 18, 2021) – Lea County officials want New Mexico, the nation’s third highest oil production state, to join other states fighting President Joe Biden’s moratorium on federal oil leases.

Lea County is the nation’s No. 1 oil producer among counties, with more than 50 percent of oil production coming from federal lands.

At a recent meeting of the board, county commission chairwoman Rebecca Long said, “All of the western states are very up-in-arms about this because it’s very harmful to their counties and it’s very harmful to their states.”

A total of 14 U.S. states, not including New Mexico, filed lawsuits in March against the administration, challenging Biden’s moratorium on new oil and gas leasing on federal lands and waters, according to the news agency Reuters.

“I think we’re all in agreement on this,” Long told her fellow commissioners after reading a proposed resolution urging New Mexico’s involvement in the lawsuits.

“Oil and gas is important. Even Gov. (Michelle Lujan) Grisham is pushing back against the Biden administration on this moratorium,” Long concluded before the unanimous vote to approve the resolution.

Lea County Urges N.M. to Fight Oil Lease Ban

Power The Future (May 11, 2021) – Americans are starting to feel the effects of the attack on the Colonial Pipeline, the country’s largest fuel pipeline. It was forced to shut down late Friday following a cyberattack by ransomware. The 5,500 mile pipeline carries refined gasoline and jet fuel from Texas up the East Coast to New York, and is responsible for transporting 45 percent of the East Coast’s fuel supplies.

“The cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline should be a wake-up call for the Biden Administration which, up until now, has treated the fossil fuel industry with feckless disdain,” said Daniel Turner, Executive Director of Power the Future. “They have refused to even acknowledge that pipelines are critical infrastructure, as demonstrated by the Administration canceling the Keystone XL project on day one. This not only eliminated 11,000 jobs and put those workers and their families in unnecessary financial distress, but it also weakened America’s energy future thus jeopardizing our economy and national security.”
