Instead of looking for oil in shale or under sheet rock, Udall proposes that New Mexico be a forerunner in the union by actually investing immediately in renewable energy rather than keep drilling. The first place to start, says Udall is by making small incentives at home and in the workplace to make people more energy conscious. New Mexico already drills to contribute to America's oil supply, but Udall insists, this cannot last for much longer.

He authored and led an initiative to require that utilities use at least 15% renewable energy from alternative sources such as solar, geothermal and wind power. From reading his legislation, it seems to me that Udall wants to fix the problem rather than cover them up like Pearce who voted against increasing tax incentives for using alternate energy.
