New Mexico derives a huge percentage of state tax revenue from natural gas from the Permian basin (southeast NM) and coal (Four Corners area, northwest NM). But there has been a huge push forward with solar and wind feeding into the grid.
Multiple projects are happening in the US, local and state governments.
Smaller nuclear power plants are coming. Part of a push away from carbon based energy.
