Link to: Mexico's energy reform is rolling, albeit with training wheels

Greetings!

I've written a couple of times about Mexico energy reforms-first when they were announced by President Enrique Peña Nieto and then when the constitutional amendments were passed. This week's column is somewhat of an update as the first international investors took the plunge in Mexico's shallow waters. The first auction took place on July 15. While it wasn't the success that the Mexican government had hoped it would be, it does get the reforms rolling.

Mexico's energy reform is rolling, albeit with training wheels (attached and pasted-in-below) chronicles the difficulties of Mexico's first international investment invitation in nearly eighty years, but concludes with optimism for the future-both for Mexico and American companies who partner with Mexico.

Mexico's energy reform is rolling, albeit with training wheels doesn't have my usual political snap, and may be too "inside" for the average reader, but I hope my regular readers will find it insightful. I've received positive comments from those who reviewed it prior to publication.

Remember, each week I host America's Voice for Energy on www.AmericasWebRadio.com -which allows me to expand on the topic of each week's column by interviewing related experts. If you have expertise on Mexico's energy reforms and/or the opportunities it provides for American companies, I'd like to have you join me to record a segment. We can record anytime between now and Wednesday at noon ET. America's Voice for Energy airs the first time on Thursday at 11:00 AM ET and then, a few days after the original air date, is available for indefinite online listening. Just respond to this email to advise me of your availability.

One more thing. Please take a few minutes to vote "No" on the poll regarding whether or not New England's largest wind farm should be built. When I first received word of the poll, the "Yes" votes were about double the "No". Thanks to an extensive network, the trend has flipped. Let's keep it going.

Thanks for reading Mexico's energy reform is rolling, albeit with training wheels. Please post it, pass it on, and/or personally enjoy it.
