The legislative action team works to influence public policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase reliance on efficiency and renewable energy sources. This is accomplished through legislation at the state, federal and local levels, and by executive actions. Since 350 Santa Fe is located in the state capital, and with experts among our membership, we are well-positioned to take a leading role in advancing state policy.

Our current plans for advocating for climate-friendly policies at the state level include legislation supporting community solar electrical generation; promoting transition from gasoline-powered to electric vehicles; advocating for a green constitutional amendment; growing geothermal energy infrastructure; and supporting only renewable hydrogen hub projects. We will also support the state administration’s efforts to obtain strong regulations to reduce methane emissions from petroleum production and processing.
