FILE - This May 20, 2012 photo shows one of the major transmission lines that runs to the west of Albuquerque, N.M. New Mexico's top prosecutor has opened an inquiry into utility costs during a winter blast that plunged New Mexico and other states into a deep freeze. State Attorney General Hector Balderas says the weather emergency caused tremendous damage and he wants to ensure New Mexicans won't be further harmed by skyrocketing bills. Utility executives testified Thursday, Feb. 25, 2021, that they were able to cushion some of the blow by shifting fuel sources, but higher natural gas prices ultimately will trickle down to customers through increases in their monthly bills.
