Methane linked to natural seeps SANTA FE — New Mexico’s top oil and natural gas regulator said a giant cloud of the greenhouse gas methane hanging over the Southwestern United States comes in large part from nat- ural seeps from underground formations and coal mining operations, contradicting recent scientific findings. At a confirmation hearing Wednesday, acting New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Secretary Kenley McQueen said the methane hot spot over the Four Corners region of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah dates back millions of years. “My personal opinion is that the methane hotspot in the San Juan-Four Corners area has existed for at least the last 10 million years,” said McQueen, describing methane-infused coal out- croppings on the western edge of the San Juan Basin. Senate approves cigarette tax hike SANTA FE — A proposal to increase New Mexico’s tax on cigarettes to $3.16 a pack has been approved by the state Senate. Senate Democrats backed the $1.50-a-pack increase Wednesday over Republican objections on a 24-16 vote. The bill now moves to the House. The initiative would raise an annual $89 million for public schools, as New Mexico lawmakers wrestle with a budget shortfall for the coming fiscal year. Republican Gov. Susana Martinez has vowed to veto any outright tax increases while considering changes to credits and deductions. The bill from Democratic Sen. Howie Morales of Silver City would raise taxes on other tobacco products including electronic ciga- rettes to 75 percent from 25 percent.
