PNM: You Can Run, But You Can’t Hide!
May 17, 2016 @ 2:30 pm - 9:47 pm
Join us for a rally and press conference in solidarity with New Mexicans organizing against toxic energy investments!
The Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) is proposing to raise its electricity rates by $123.5 million, which would increase residential customer rates by 15.8%, in order to fund expensive coal and nuclear power purchase agreements.
In an attempt to circumvent shareholder opposition to this dirty energy proposal, this year PNM decided hold its annual shareholders meeting outside of New Mexico altogether, hoping oppostion will not be able to follow… but thankfully some shareholders are able to make the trip and they need support from North Texans to help send a clear message that we will not accept dirty energy here, there, or anywhere!
Consumer advocates and environmental organizers in NM and TX will join with sharholder activists to stage simultaneous actions at both the PNM headquaters in Albuquerque and shareholders meeting in Lewisville to challenge the proposed rate hikes and dirty investments in coal and nuclear resources.
