Oil Price Drop Stresses New Mexico

 

 

(IPANM) March 11, 2020 – Perhaps overshadowed by the news of the oil price drop and the Coronavirus, federal comments were due on Tuesday, March 10, 2020 regarding President Trump’s proposed updates to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

IPANM submitted succinct comments in strong support of the proposed changes. At the same time, the State of New Mexico declared strong opposition to the changes.

The comment period for the proposed changes has no closed. IPANM will continue to monitor the latest developments on federal NEPA changes.

Carlsbad CurrentArgus (Feb. 12, 2020) – President Donald Trump requested $1.2 billion to fund the BLM in fiscal year 2021, with $199.3 million earmarked for the agency’s Energy and Minerals programs, as fossil fuels and renewable energy generated the highest revenue of all uses of BLM-owned land.

About $139 million will fund the BLM’s oil and gas programs, read a news release, while $29.5 million was appropriated for renewable energy to support wind, solar and geothermal energy development.

ABQ Journal (Feb. 10, 2020) – Legislators on a key House committee rejected a proposal Monday that called for sharply increasing the gasoline tax as part of an effort to reduce pollution and improve New Mexico’s roads.
It would have been phased in over time, eventually pushing the gas tax from 17 cents a gallon to 47 cents.
Members of the House Appropriations and Finance Committee voted 14-1 to table the bill, a procedure that prevented it from advancing to the full House for consideration.

Carlsbad CurrentArgus (Infrastructure) Feb. 3, 2020 – Three of southeast New Mexico’s most notorious oilfield roads are in for major rebuilds in the coming years as the New Mexico Department of Transportation aims to use surplus state funds from oil and gas revenue to ensure workers in the industry can travel safely through the region. In a Monday meeting with Carlsbad area business leaders in Santa Fe, New Mexico Cabinet Secretary of Transportation Michael Sandoval said a $130 million project to update U.S. Highway 285 from the Texas State Line 22 miles north to Loving was fully funded.
