Paul Gessing, president of the Rio Grande Foundation, recently discussed energy policy in an interview titled "Blown Away: Exposing the Wind Scam." The episode has garnered over one million views. Gessing advocates for a diverse energy strategy involving natural gas, nuclear power, and clean coal rather than relying on wind energy. He criticizes current green policies, suggesting they disproportionately affect working-class individuals by increasing energy costs.
Gessing states that while wealthier individuals may find expensive energy inconvenient, it can be a significant burden for middle and lower-income Americans. He argues that the hydrocarbon economy offers stable jobs and could boost New Mexico's prosperity. According to Gessing, New Mexico is rich in natural resources but is hindered by policies he describes as economically and environmentally ineffective.
The full interview with Paul Gessing is available on the Rio Grande Foundation's website and through Cortes Investigates.
