New Mexico's tuition-free college plan would be among the most progressive in the country. But student activists say it relies too much on money from oil.
“We are in the biggest boom cycle ever, but what’s it going to be like when we are in a bust cycle?” she said. “Education will probably be the first thing that gets cut.”
Oil and gas advocates like Flynn have significant leverage over the state, something even fracking’s critics acknowledge, and ties to the industry are largely bi-partisan. Since New Mexico exports the vast majority of its oil and gas, the state could theoretically transition to entirely carbon-free utilities while continuing to extract large amounts of fossil fuels.
“I’m 15, so by 2030, which we expect is going to be the ‘no turning back’ point for climate change, I will be done with college,” Emese added. “That’s when I will be really starting my life. After I go through that entire process of high school and college, I won’t be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor.”
