Not long after the front page Santa Fe New Mexican article on Anne Potter Russ, we were contacted by DW Turner for a meeting with her. Since then, there has been a change. There have been several letters to the editor printed in the Santa Fe New Mexican from curious sources. There was the Albuquerque Journal article on Tecton Energy, LLC, "Tecton faces tough time in New Mexico," in which Tecton makes the claim, '"We already know there is oil present and producible there because we've re-entered an existing well in the Galisteo Basin (and it is) producing commercial quantities"' (highlight added). Yet, that well has been temporarily abandoned and only produced less 30 barrels in the last four months of production! DW Turner lists the New Mexico Oil & Gas Association (NMOGA) as a client.
There was a Santa Fe New Mexican article on the Rio Grande Foundation, a group that is co-sponsoring the showing of "The Great Global Warming Swindle" to be followed by a presentation by Robert Balling, author of the book "Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air About Global Warming" to be held at the New Mexico State Land Office. CARE (Citizens' Alliance for Responsible Energy) was in part founded by Ron Arnold (see quotes below). The Rio Grande Foundation and CARE are aggressive oil & gas industry advocates.
Yesterday, in a unanimous vote the Rio Arriba Board of County Commissioners extended the expiring oil & gas drilling moratorium for an additional 180 days. The story was carried in the Santa Fe New Mexican under news in brief. Also yesterday, the Las Cruces City Council adopted a resolution to protect Otero Mesa. Yet, Pat Lyons, Commissioner of Public Lands, says drill the Otero Mesa. The Las Cruces resolution adoption story was carried by KSFR and AP.
Energy may be one the biggest issues facing New Mexico and beyond. There are profound events in regards to energy happening in New Mexico. And beyond New Mexico, there are citizens protesting that industry has gone too far in Fort Worth and in the Delaware Basin.

Ron Arnold quotes from SourceWatch:
"We want to destroy environmentalists by taking away their money and their members,"
"If chlorflourocarbons really destroy ozone, why isn't there a hole over chlorflourocarbon factories, he asks". As for the greenhouse effect he was emphatic: "There isn't any such thing".
"We are sick to death of environmentalism and so we will destroy it. We will not allow our right to own property and use nature's resources for the benefit of mankind to be stripped from us by a bunch of eco-facists,"
"And that sword has two purposes: to carve out a niche for your agenda, to reshape the American law in your image; and, kill the b(lank)s."[5] Asked to describe how he would like others to think of him, he said "People in industry, I'm going to do my best for you. Environmentalists, I'm coming to get you."
"We're out to kill the fxxxers. We're simply trying to eliminate them. Our goal is to destroy environmentalism once and for all"
