One of the country's top oil, gas and coal producing states embraces renewable energy.

A great article by the Chambers for Innovation & Clean Energy (CICE) reports on New Mexico's move towards renewable energy. "States are not waiting for Washington D.C. to move forward to create the clean energy economy.
