Between the start of the year and March 7, oil and gas producers reported more than 7,125 spills across the state — about 111 a day on average. Those spills include oil, produced water, other chemicals and natural gas, the last constituting the overwhelming majority of cases.

“You may clap now.”With that, Rep. Javier Martínez, the speaker of the New Mexico House of Representatives, ushered Jan. 28, New Mexico Oil and Gas Day, into the record books. The measure passed in a unanimous consent vote of all of the state’s representatives — a process that didn’t allow for anyone to vote against it. The preceding 20 minutes of discussion were a Republican-led chorus of “Drill, baby, drill!” and pro-industry rhetoric.

This is such a good story on the #creole background of the new #pope and what that means From @aubry_erin and @capitalandmain
