PNM Resources leaves Chamber of Commerce over climate policy
In September 2009, PNM announced it was quitting the U.S. Chamber of Commerce because of the lobbying organization's opposition to climate legislation. A statement from the company said it viewed climate change as a pressing issue and that it wanted to work with organizations that back "thoughtful, reasonable climate change legislation."

PG&E and Exelon have also left the Chamber of Commerce over its opposition to greenhouse gas regulations.
