Range Beef Production Uses Little Fossil Fuel
Range livestock operations rely on solar energy captured by plants with livestock converting only about ten percent of that energy. Producers use minimal fossil fuels, needing roughly four gallons of gasoline and 62 kilowatt hours of electricity to produce 100 pounds of beef on the hoof. Calves carry about 16 gallons of gas in the production system, and conservation hinges on keeping range forage in peak condition.

Schmitt Opposes HUD Reorganization Plan Aimed at Albuquerque
Senator Harrison Schmitt met with HUD Secretary Patricia Harris to challenge a nationwide reorganization that downgrades Albuquerque and shifts multi family housing duties to Dallas. He warned the move harms New Mexico by increasing travel, cost, and reduced local contact, and Harris agreed to discuss the issue with the Dallas director ahead of a possible congressional review in early 1979. He will continue to oppose the plan as Albuquerque faces implementation in March or April. A separate anecdote recalls a cab driver and passenger exchanging a 15 cent tip joke about insults twice.

New Mexicans Favor Bottle Bill and Conservation Over Price Rises
A survey of 499 New Mexicans by sociologist J. Clyde Eastman shows 92.5 percent favor a bottle bill, and 73.9 percent prioritize conservation over expanding energy supply. Respondents also prefer abolition of quantity discounts and conservation incentives, with regulations and rationing ranking lower and higher prices viewed as a burden on the poor.
