One megawatt of wind energy can generate between 2.4 million and 3 million kWh annually. Therefore, a megawatt of wind generates about as much electricity as 287,000 – 359,000 households use.

It is.

And yes, regarding the many countries that are going to be horribly slammed by global warming, it is a real shame they aren’t moving faster to do their part.

In the Draft US Climate Assessment recently released, there are some diagrams dealing with rainfall and its various states vis a vis prior decades. What becomes apparent rather quickly is that not only will the US suffer extraordinarily bad rainfall patterns (droughts), but Mexico will be devastated. If I were Mexico, I would head out on my own and not wait a minute for the US. They have excellent wind power and solar potential.

Again, of course, Sierra Club, Center for Biological Diversity and local environmentalist are seeking to block such development by blocking the 3-tower transmission line needed to cross the US-Mexico border near Jacumba, CA, on the claim that insufficient environmental studies were performed. It’s a testament to the absurdity of “institutional environmentalism” when what is really the focus is the study, lawsuit, and money for attorney fees, not reducing global warming.

Doubt me? I have the lawsuits.

What a shame.

[…] Mexico is a fairly high producer of greenhouse gases, and is currently experiencing a very long drought. While some people don’t believe there is a link between extreme weather events, scientists have said otherwise. One reason for the wind power push is an acknowledgement by the government it needs to cut greenhouse gas emissions. […]

I think so, don’t you? I think it will create hundreds of great clean energy partnerships between California and Mexico, and even between Texas and Mexico for all that wind in Texas.

Contrary to popular (ignorant?) belief, if you know what you’re doing, Mexico is a lovely, beautiful country and normal citizens are more than happy to help you. One might even say Mexico enjoys more freedoms than it’s northern neighbour!

I mean, try building a floating island in America!

This new legislation will forever affirm the age of green jobs in Mexico.

And the best kept secret is that more consumers are giving preferential purchasing to low carbon economies. Thus Mexico might itself in a business boom while toxic economies will be left wondering what happened?
