Our exclusive chat with Paul Gessing of the Rio Grande Foundation is an absolute must-listen for anyone curious about the inner workings of New Mexico's economic landscape. Gessing pulls no punches in laying bare the threats posed by current policies, while also illuminating pathways to improvement and growth. A significant segment of our discussion orbits around the dramatic push towards Electric Vehicles (EVs) in New Mexico, a move championed by Governor Lujan Grisham. The implications are vast and to be frank not good; from environmental impacts to the strain on the electricity grid, the fallout on car dealers, and, not to mention, the consumers. We don't hold back as we question the feasibility and potential negative ramifications of this potentially seismic shift in the state's automotive industry.Our genuine concern over the possible impact of the EV mandate on rural areas leads to a discussion on the obstacles faced by manufacturers in producing EVs at a profitable cost. The political landscape in New Mexico is further scrutinized through the lens of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's failed policies. #EV #NewMexico #oil #gas #cars #china #Tesla #Ronchetti Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D
