Good Climate News this Week: Rules to Cut Pollution, an Offshore Wind Transmission Plan, Emissions Reduction in the EU, and More!
Apr 15, 2024
Exciting clean energy for all news this week from our friends in Colorado, Maryland, Nevada, and Washington – as well as in New Mexico, where Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed legislation putting New Mexico on the path to 100% clean energy by 2045!
It’s official. New Mexico’s energy framework will never be the same – the Energy Transition Act is now law. The potential for New Mexico to be a national leader in renewable energy has always been there. Starting now, we are leading. pic.twitter.com/KyAY59aqcn
