Past Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland became the first high-ranking established to run for office under the Biden administration when she announced her candidacy for governor of New Mexico. The statement surprised no some, especially after her simply real main challenger, the state’s top U. S. Senator Martin Heinrich, withdrew from the competition. Maybe Heinrich, the Silver Spring, Maryland, resident who was born in Nebraska and grew up in Missouri, realized that a dynamic presidential primary would require him to actually live in New Mexico, but I digress.
During her assurance reading to lead the Interior Department, Haaland celebrated how she was making story, as if that were naturally good. Lots of people “make past”. How they are remembered is often very unique. Her four decades of almost unbounded power over hundreds of millions of acres of land, both on and off, were granted once her confirmation as the Interior Department’s administrator.
Haaland controlled exposure and leases and permits for fuel, gas, petroleum, mine, forest, and ranching. She made the decision to construct access roads and another pipeline and transmission line assignments as well. With hundreds of billions of dollars coming from both the Infrastructure Bill ( IRA ) and the mangled Inflation Reduction Act ( IRA ), she also received general approval for wind, solar, and other “green” projects.
This test the audio to see how she did.
Energy costs didn’t go down.  , They went off almost 30 percent. Oil prices didn’t go down. No, they maintained their four-year average for a political name, which is the highest average in modern history. Consumption didn’t also decrease. It also increased. Pollutants hardly decreased.  , They were essentially straight, and at an enormous value.
What do we have to show for four years of Deb Haaland’s career as America’s employer?
Pain. We are weaker and poorer.
Deb Haaland refused to support the project when Alaska wanted to construct a path and needed an easement 450 feet broad for 25 miles across national land, overriding the wishes of the state’s governor and the regional tribal communities that were in favor of it. She knows better than Alaskans.
Minnesota suddenly turned down a proposal to create Twin Metals ‘ mine to create the copper, nickel, and chromium needed for wind and solar power. She is aware of why it is preferable for us to continue purchasing these goods from businesses run by Communist China and sourced from child labour in sub-Saharan Africa. Climate change, or anything.
Haaland stopped officially binding oil and gas contracts, failing to win in court. She turned a blind eye to , dying whales likely killed by onshore wind projects. She ignored the concerns of New England lobstermen , when her , drive for offshore , weather turbine limited their fishing lakes and threatened their business.  ,
Like all self-assured people who have poor information, Haaland may respond to criticism with racism accusations. Or discrimination. Whatever distress she causes and makes you stop questioning her, irrespective of the harm she causes.
When Haaland defended “indigenous information” as the basis for her decision-making, it was perhaps the most flagrantly severe usage of DEI to hide a radical agenda. This was meant to stillness all opposition. She should have just been fair: Don’t condemn me or I will call you discriminatory.
Deb Haaland does not possess any other qualifications despite having more British Indian heart than Elizabeth Warren. And that will not silence me or my business, which advocates for the remote energy careers that have suffered at the hands of Deb Haaland’s career, regardless of the origins of her so-called information.
I’m not the only one. The community members were the ones who raised the objection when Haaland denied reference development at Chaco Canyon, a local site in New Mexico. They wanted the creation, the work, the profit, and the chance for success. This was their property, but Haaland knew better. But massive was their opposition that when Haaland arrived for a photo-op, the group blocked her limousine, and the occasion was canceled.
It turns out that the native are racist toward native. Or culture change. Whatever. It doesn’t matter, shut off and allow Deb Haaland work roughshod over you, your business, your people, your way of life. She knows better. Simply request her.
There is a purpose Haaland so barely qualified for the minister position. Compare that to Doug Burgum, the recent Interior Secretary, whose common sense and clarity persuaded more than half the Democratic caucus to support his verification.
Deb Haaland is not just polarizing. She is risky.
Using story as a guideline, Gov. Deb Haaland will most likely do to New Mexico what she did to America, and the position will experience a lot as a result. Wealth and temperament may elude. Poverty and misery will improve. She will generate story, but she will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
