I'm listening to Scott Adams right now, and he's talking about how (in the context of prison reform) the problem isn't money, we have enough, we just need good ideas. And that the phone company had that problem when he worked for them. I knew an architect in the 1970s who said that people with money seldom knew what to do with it.

I think it's pervasive.

aerohead — Thanks, but I wasn't asking about the backroom shenanigans so much as the mechanism to be coded into the state's Constitution. DDG [https://duckduckgo.com/?q=New+Mexico+constitution+renewable finds and quotes this:
Quote:
New Mexico - State Energy Profile Analysis - U.S. Energy ...
The New Mexico renewable portfolio standard requires investor-owned electric utilities to acquire 20% of electricity sold in-state from renewable energy sources by 2020. Of that 20%, at least half must come from solar and wind energy, and the balance must include shares from several other renewable sources, including distributed generation.
