Al Gore’s “climate protection” campaign has opened an office in Albuquerque to help New Mexicans shift to clean energy.
The Alliance for Climate Protection, whose board is chaired by Gore, officially opened its Repower New Mexico office on Thursday. The office will be staffed with five employees.
“New Mexican families need to know a clean energy economy will create millions of well-paying jobs and save Americans money on their energy bills,” New Mexico Director Brandon Pinette said in a news release. “We at Repower New Mexico are extremely excited to open our Albuquerque office; it will be a hub for all New Mexicans who want to see our economy grow into a cleaner, brighter future, instead of being mired in the dirty energy policies of the past.”
The “nonprofit, nonpartisan organization,” according to the release, “is educating New Mexicans about how shifting to a clean energy economy helps solve the climate crisis and address other pressing national problems facing our country today.”
The group has recruited more than 3,000 members in New Mexico in the past few months, according to the release.
