TRADITION STARTS THE STORY. ENERGY KEEPS IT GOING.
For chile producers, energy is part of the work every day. Oil and natural gas help power equipment, fuel transportation, and keep agricultural operations running statewide.
In fact, New Mexico farmers spend $117 million each year on fuel and oil, supporting food traditions New Mexicans have relied on for generations.
NEW MEXICO DOESN’T STOP MOVING. NEITHER CAN THE ENERGY BEHIND IT.
For nearly a century, Cline’s Corners has been a stop along the way for New Mexicans and travelers alike. Keeping people moving — safely and reliably — takes more than good intentions.
Natural gas helps power the infrastructure behind New Mexico’s roads, transportation, and public safety. It’s part of what allows businesses like Cline’s Corners to stay open, keep communities connected, and support the everyday travel New Mexicans rely on.
PUTTING FOOD ON THE TABLE TAKES MORE THAN A MENU
For restaurant owners, energy is part of every step of the process — from cooking and refrigeration to lighting, cleaning, and delivery. Oil and natural gas help keep kitchens running, food safe, and doors open day after day.
Behind every meal is a lot of work — and reliable energy makes that work possible.
BEER DOESN’T BREW ITSELF. AND IT DEFINITELY DOESN’T KEEP ITSELF COLD.
Breweries rely on energy long before the first pour. Heating water, cooling tanks, keeping ingredients fresh, running equipment, and moving product all take consistent, reliable power.
Oil and natural gas help make sure the process works the same way every time — so what’s in the glass tastes the way it’s supposed to.
IT’S NOT JUST CROPS THAT GROW HERE. IT’S A $4 BILLION ECONOMY.
Farming in New Mexico isn’t symbolic — it’s operational. Fields don’t plant, irrigate, harvest, or deliver themselves. Energy is part of the work from the first pass of equipment to the last mile of transport.
Without it, the traditions people recognize wouldn’t look the same.
GUESS WHAT KEEPS EVERYDAY LIFE RUNNING IN NEW MEXICO?
Oil and natural gas help power restaurants, grocery stores, transportation, and the roads people rely on every day.
In 2023, energy production generated nearly $13 billion in state revenue supporting infrastructure and public services.
SHARE THE VALUE OF OIL & NATURAL GAS
IT’S MORE THAN HOPS BEHIND GREAT NEW MEXICO BEER.
Brewing doesn’t stop at the recipe. Energy powers the heating, cooling, refrigeration, and storage that keep beer consistent from batch to batch.
From the brewhouse to the taproom, oil and natural gas help breweries operate day after day — supporting a craft beer scene that’s become part of New Mexico’s local culture.
GUESS WHAT KEEPS OVER 42 MILLION VISITORS COMING BACK TO NEW MEXICO?
New Mexico’s landscapes may be legendary, but the experience depends on more than scenery. Energy supports the roads, travel centers, and public services that make it possible for visitors to explore the state safely and comfortably.
From long highway drives to national parks and small-town stops along the way, reliable energy helps sustain the tourism economy that brings people back year after year.
