To be more direct: I will let you play in my yard, allowing you to have a public investment in my country, and the first one I will leave (it is Deer Park); for this we will give the benefit of the doubt, “but” it will be under my market conditions, and in the short term we will align ourselves together, under an environmental diplomacy that the world intends to exercise.
Applied diplomacy, and well carried out, is fully summarized in the statement of the US Secretary of Energy, indicating:
“I was assured that Mexico is committed to supporting clean energy and resolving current disputes with energy projects within the rule of law.” This means: Every change you make today could affect our relationship in the future, remember that in 2026 we will review the T-MEC, and today you have a deficit in the trade balance with us and you assured me that you would be part of our trade war, environmental and strategic, in protecting our region during the visit you made and which was confirmed by your representative, of your people, the president.
“The real concerns of the Biden-Harris Administration with the possible negative impact of the energy reforms proposed by Mexico in the private investment of the United States in Mexico”. Remember, we have carried out a pro-environmental energy reform and we are bipartisanly bidding for a medium to long-term planning structure, to establish continuity in the use of energy with greater efficiency towards the planet.
For this, we will begin by making public investments and then we will support our private sector companies, so that they can expand, market and transfer knowledge of everything they have done, firstly within the United States; everyone who is part of this will be able to have access, without limit. Remember, you don’t produce technology, you import it.
“The proposed reform could also hamper joint efforts by the United States and Mexico on clean energy and climate.” The world has said: the energy transition will be progressive with planning as a whole, and for this we need to make investments, to stop using fossil raw materials, which at the present time is complicated by their great use for the mobility of society, mainly in the transport.
But we will stop using coal to generate electricity and will continue to use natural gas for this purpose, and at the same time we will invest in research to have infinite renewable electricity; We will have to adapt to have better quality in all transmission and distribution networks, coupling all technological forms to have clean electrons in the face of global electrification in 2050.
But in you I do not see a long-term planning regarding this concept, I hear many speeches captured on paper, but these are not transferred to the fact that you have new infrastructure for the future. Remember, an energy project has a maturity of between 4 and 7 years to start operating.
