On this week's Tipping Point interview Paul talks to Larry Behrens Communications Director of Power the Future, a pro-energy non-profit that works nationwide including here in New Mexico.

Paul and Larry discuss the start of the COVID emergency four years ago and their efforts to push back against the Gov.'s misguided and special-interest-favoring approach to COVID restrictions which destroyed numerous businesses and harmed New Mexico children (to name two impacts). Ultimately her policies failed to improve New Mexico's COVID outcomes.

The rest of the episode is dedicated to energy topics at the state and federal level from the recent legislative session and "clean fuels standard" and NM's ongoing boom. They also discuss the latest from the Biden administration and their lack of permitting for LNG projects.
