My comment:
New Mexico’s progress is an example that all states should try to emulate.
It’s great to see that most of these projects also have storage. New Mexico is part of the western power grid, and when Texas had the blackout during the February winter storm, the El Paso area was also hooked to New Mexico and they didn’t lose power like the rest of Texas. The New Mexico and Western power grid has been properly winterized; the rest of Texas suffered because they failed to winterize their grid.
Let’s hope New Mexico installs a lot more wind turbines. They have some very good wind resources in the East near Texas. They can generate power around the clock instead of just during daylight.
Here in California we have been importing power generated by coal in the Four Corners area by the native American power plants. They are planning to or already have shut down the coal plants and are going to replace them with renewables, solar, IIRC. Most of the power has been sold to the Los Angeles Dept. Of Water and Power.
