NM-03 Ben Ray Lujan (D)
Endorsed by the Sierra Club, Lujan served on the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission, where he worked to compel utility companies to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and focus research and development efforts on renewable and sustainable energy production.

During his term, the PRC implemented an increase in the percentage of renewable energy that utilities must supply, making New Mexico's standards some of the highest in the nation. In December 2006, he signed on to the Joint Action Framework on Climate Change, a budding regional effort to fight climate change, on behalf of the state of New Mexico. Lujan collaborated with the local Sierra Club to start a light bulb exchange program.

Lujan wants to continue to create initiatives that will result in more, better-paying jobs and move America in a new direction to safeguard the environment. He wants a renewable electricity standard, a reduction in carbon 80 percent by 2050, to have the US sign the Kyoto Protocol, and to create incentives for net metering to promote renewable energy. He also supports increasing vehicle efficiency standards and supports a moratorium on coal-fired power plants. He opposes drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and logging in National Forests.
