4:24 After decades in public office, Tom Udall is bidding farewell to the U.S. Senate, where has served since 2009. Prior to that he served in the U.S. House of Representatives and New Mexico Attorney General. Recently he sat down with New Mexico PBS correspondent Laura Paskus to discuss two issues he has focused on for much of his career: climate change and the environment. See the whole interview here. Udall says the Trump Administration has rolled back significant environmental protections over the last four years and that will continue to have ramifications for New Mexico and the country. UDALL: After the Paris agreement in the Obama administration, we really had stepped up to the plate. We had some great goals. We withdrew from that agreement under President Trump. We had a very strong administrative clean power plan out of the Environmental Protection Agency that has been dismantled. There was a really strong, wonderful agreement on CAFE standards. Those are the automobile mileage standards. It was up to 54 miles a gallon. They were going for the auto companies and we're going to do even better.So imagine the Trump administration, the secretary of interior, the EPA director, taking a wrecking ball to all of that.
