SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The governor of a major state for energy production praised Joe Biden for his approach to combating climate change and supporting the clean energy sector.
She made the comments in an online appearance Wednesday at the Democratic National Convention. Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham stood amid a solar panel array in northern New Mexico to assure voters that Biden would renew U.S. participation on cooperative international efforts to combat global warming if elected.
Lujan Grisham has helped set aggressive mandates for increasing electricity production from renewable sources such as solar and wind. New Mexico state government remains heavily dependent on income from the oil sector.
