We are very grateful to all of you who voiced your support and got involved in getting SJM 33 to the final stretch. At this point, we really need you to contact your Representatives one last time, and ask them to vote for this momentous memorial, that may yet prove to be the most impactful piece of legislation ever introduced and passed by the NM Legislature.

PARTICIPATE IN HISTORY!
PLEASE COME TO THE HOUSE GALLERY ON FRIDAY 3.13 - TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR SJM 33!

(The estimated time of SJM 33’s hearing should be between 10:30 – 11:30)

In particular SJM 33:

· Identifies New Mexico’s strong comparative advantages in resources and science & technology facilities and expertise to lead a national economic recovery effort by focusing on the primary energy sources in the renewable energy sector (solar-thermal and geo-thermal) and primary energy storage and delivery media: super-capacitors and advanced biofuels, respectively.

· Instructs the NM National Congressional delegation to ask President Obama for $21 billion in federal economic recovery money, for additional funding for both national laboratories (Sandia & LANL) and for the creation of a National Renewable Energy Administration (to be formed with a mandate along the lines and logic of NASA) headquarters and research facilities to be located in “a city in New Mexico”.

· Requests that New Mexico aggressively and competitively seek to attract established manufacturer(s) of small, fuel-efficient, and electric cars, which would in turn bolster and validate funding for next-generation energy storage and distribution research at NM’s two national laboratories.

FOR THE STATUS OF SJM 33 AND ADDITIONAL LEGISLATIVE CONTACT INFORMATION, GO TO:

This Memorial draws from the larger context and vision of Program MARIA, (Minds and Resources In Action), a national strategy for renewable energy based economic reconstruction and recovery, developed by Miro Kovacevich, MBA, President of ViviLux.

“The children and progeny of New Mexico, our nation, and the world will appreciate that we foresaw the reality that energy security IS national security, and that energy independence IS national independence. The size and breadth of the economic crisis we are experiencing requires a solution that is calibrated at a minimally required corresponding scale in order to curtail any further political and economic unraveling. We must believe in science, we must not be afraid to think big and to act together, nor should we have any trepidation in asking our elected public servants to do the same. Truly, time is of the essence. We cannot vacillate or hesitate”.
- Miro Kovacevich
