Current oil predicament No more oil in about 42 years
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions Increase efficiency of energy usage Avoid increase of power cost Sustainable Santa fe plan
Greenhouse gas goals for santafe Increased by 6% from 1990 to 2000 6% Emissions(Thousands of metric tons) Year 1990 2000 2008 *Emissions based off population ratio of Santa Fe to New Mexico
Greenhouse gas goals for santafe 8.5% Increased by 8.5% from 2000 to 2008 6% Emissions(Thousands of metric tons) Year 1990 2000 2008 *Emissions based off population ratio of Santa Fe to New Mexico

Farmington Municipal Power Population: 42,637 8 ¢/kWhr 2007 Same Consumer Cost for 25 Years! (New Mexico Average cost is 9.5 ¢/kWhr) 1982 1994 – Combined Cycle Turbine 1983 – Navajo Dam Hydroelectric Facility 1982 – Owns 8% of PNM power station Smart meters in 1999
One of the tools of Government is ownership City ownership allows Santa Fe to move forward with changes it sees fit to make To reduce emissions Farmington: Santa Fe: Currently have 15% Renewable Energy Want more Renewable Energy Smart meters in 1999 Smart meters in the future
