In a recent government meeting, significant discussions centered around energy policies and their implications for the economy, particularly in New Mexico. The speaker criticized the current administration's push for an all-electric future, arguing that it would lead to severe economic repercussions, including the loss of over 90,000 oil and gas jobs in the state. The speaker emphasized that transitioning to electric vehicles and infrastructure would require extensive rebuilding of the nation's bridges and roads to accommodate the heavier electric trucks, which he claimed would be inefficient compared to traditional vehicles.

The meeting also highlighted concerns about the feasibility of electric vehicle infrastructure, citing a staggering cost estimate of $10 trillion to establish necessary charging stations across the country. The speaker expressed skepticism about the practicality of an all-electric military, suggesting that electric tanks would be too heavy and cumbersome for effective use.

Additionally, the speaker criticized the administration's energy policies as detrimental to American energy independence, claiming that they would lead to increased energy prices and economic decline. He pointed to international examples, such as Germany's struggles with similar policies, to argue against the current direction.

The meeting concluded with a strong condemnation of the administration's approach, framing it as a threat to the economic stability of New Mexico and the broader United States. The speaker vowed to reverse these policies if given the opportunity, promising to restore traditional energy practices and reduce energy costs significantly within a year of taking office.
