Full Living Room Conversation: Blackstone and The Fight For New Mexico's Energy

Over 100 people protested outside PNM's Albuquerque headquarters on April 30th as lawyers argued before regulators that a $400 million stock sale didn't violate state law. Last week, we hosted a packed Living Room conversation diving into what's actually at stake in Blackstone's proposed $11.7 billion acquisition of New Mexico's largest electric utility.

With Mary Jane Parks (Santa Fe County Democratic Party chair, energy professional), Xubi Wilson (Living on the Edge, KSFR), Austin Fisher (505OMATIC), and Jonathan Juárez (YUCCA), We explored Blackstone's track record, the legal question around that stock sale, the connection to Project Jupiter and our water future, and what publicly owned utilities could look like.
