THE AIR FORCE IS LOOKING TO GO GREEN .... AND NEW MEXICO SAYS IT'S INTERESTED IN MAKING THAT HAPPEN. GADI SCHWARTZ IS IN SANTA FE WHERE GOVERNOR RICHARDSON TALKED ABOUT A NEW PLAN FOR GREEN ENERGY.// IF THE STATE AND AIR FORCE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PLAN -- ALBUQUERQUE- ALAMOGORDO AND CLOVIS COULD ALSO BENEFIT FROM THE SUN -- THE WIND -- AND EVEN COW MANURE. TODAY THE GOVERNOR SAT DOWN WITH THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE TO OUTLINE 4 AGREEMENTS THAT WOULD BRING CLEAN ENERGY TO NEW MEXICO'S AIR FORCE BASES. THE FIRST AGREEMENT- COULD BRING A SOLAR FARM TO ALBUQUERQUE- TO SERVE KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE AND POSSIBLY MESA DEL SOL. THE SECOND WOULD DO THE SAME FOR ALAMOGORDO AND IT'S HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE. THE THIRD AND FOURTH WOULD BE WIND FARMS AND A BIOMASS PLANT- USING DAIRY WASTE- TO SUPPLY POWER TO CLOVIS' CANNON AIR FORCE BASE. 22:09 - looking for clean green renewable power is a very significant part of our commitment. 20:24 I believe the best energy is renewable energy- solar wind projects like this dairy waste and these technologies be to developed more. ALTOGETHER THE GOVERNOR SAYS THE NEW ENERGY AGREEMENTS COULD PRODUCE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 150- TO 250 MEGAWATTS. ENOUGH TO POWER A SMALL CITY. NO WORD YET ON WHAT COMPANY WILL RUN THE PLANTS IF THEY ARE BUILT. RIGHT NOW THE STATE AND AIR FORCE ARE IN A PLANNING STAGE. GS EWN4 SUSPECTED DEPUTY KILLER  « Less
