SENATE JOINT MEMORIAL 33

 

Sponsored by Senator Carlos Cisneros (D) District 6

Co-sponsored by Senator Jerry Ortiz y Pino (D) District 12

 

RECOGNIZES NEW MEXICO'S INDISPENSABLE ROLE IN  NATIONAL ENERGY STRATEGY 
FOR NATIONAL ECONOMIC RECONSTRUCTION AND RECOVERY

 

/Your prompt and direct action is needed! Please review the attached 
copy of Senate Joint Memorial 33 and contact your  NM State Senators and 
Representatives to voice your support.  /

 

This Memorial;

 

·         Identifies New Mexico's strong comparative advantages in 
resources and science & technology facilities and expertise to lead a 
national economic recovery effort by focusing on the primary energy 
sources in the  renewable energy sector (solar-thermal  and geo-thermal).

 

·         Instructs the NM National Congressional delegation to ask for 
$21 billion in federal economic recovery money, for additional funding 
for both national  laboratories (Sandia & Los Alamos) and for the 
craeation of a National Renewable Energy Administration (to be formed 
with a mandate along the lines and logic of NASA) headquarters and 
research facilities - to be located in Santa Fe.

 

·         Requests that New Mexico aggresively and competitively seek to 
attract established maufacturer(s) of small, fuel-efficient, and 
electric cars, which would in turn bolster and validate funding for 
next-generation energy storage and distribution  research at our two 
national  laboratories.

 

The memorial has been intoduced and is expected to move into Senate 
Rules Committee this week of  February 23, 2009.

/"The children and progeny of  New Mexico, our nation, and the world 
will appreciate that you foresaw the reality that energy security IS 
national security. The size and breadth of the economic and energy 
crisis we are experiencing requires a solution that is calibrated at a 
minimally required equivalent  scale. We must not be afraid to think or 
act  big, nor should we have any trepidation in asking our elected 
public servants to do the same. Truly, time is of  the eseence, we 
cannot vacilate or hesitate". - /Miro Kovacevich & Matthew Ellis//
