New Mexico Center for Energy Policy-Hobbs News SunBingaman: Renewables here to stay
According to the story on Senator Bingaman by Levi Hill of the Hobbs-Sun Renewable energy is here to stay, but it will require government input as the nation moves forward with green energy. That was the message from U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., Tuesday at the second Energy Conference held by the New Mexico Center for Energy Policy at the Lea County Event Center. Bingaman was the keynote speaker for the event.
The daylong conference drew more than 400 attendees from across the nation to discuss issues surrounding the nation's continued push toward energy independence and green energy. More than a dozen panelists and four panels were part of the conference. In introducing Bingaman, New Mexico Tech President Daniel Lopez said the senator was a voice of reasonableness on renewable energy, greenhouse regulations and above all cost.
"Too much of what we are buying in new technology is imported," Bingaman said during his address, adding he supports tax credits for green energy technology manufacturing that occurs domestically.
