According to statistics from Mexico\u2019s Department of Economy, in 2012 it exported $5.7 billion and imported almost $57 billion from China, a ten-fold imbalance that even the Chinese seek to redress. Accordingly, in April 2013 Pemex signed its first long-term contract to ship 30,000 barrels of oil a day to Sinopec, China\u2019s state oil company, and Mexico\u2019s administration has indicated that it will soon introduce legislation to allow greater international investment in its oil sector, currently a state monopoly. This&nbsp;is&nbsp;implicit recognition of the fact&nbsp;that Mexico needs foreign capital and expertise to search for and develop new oil and gas fields. But, should Mexico realize that hydrogen from electrolysis -a virtually unlimited resource- could be&nbsp;of great interest to nations whose domestic energy and\/or water&nbsp;supplies are insufficient to meet domestic demand, it may consider developing it in earnest. One advantage Mexico has in the decision-making process over the U.S.&nbsp;is that it does not suffer from the same degree of gridlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the existing topographic features require little or no modification, and should the energy sector be opened to foreign investors, China and Japan, among others,&nbsp;would likely&nbsp;consider investing in the fuel of the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mexico While the U.S. meets all the requirements to build a vast aquafacture-based economic infrastructure, Mexico also has comparable but less capital-demanding features with which to implement Plan A.
