Mexico has been a very small net exporter of electricity to the United States since 2006. Power sales from Mexico to California more than offset exports from Texas to Mexico in 2010, although 2012 data suggest that Mexico has begun to import more electricity from the United States. The flow of electricity from Mexico to the United States could increase, as the Department of Energy recently issued a presidential permit to a subsidiary of Sempra International for construction, operation, maintenance, and connection of a 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission line across the U.S.-Mexico border. When completed, the transmission line will supply electricity from a Mexican wind farm to the California market.

Supposedly, we are supposed to start building new reactors at two existing facilities in the US.... next year. Remember when Baraka said he was going to step up and support building of new Nukes???? What a sham. Nearly everyone on the planet are building nuke power plants except us. We just keep shutting them down. When I was in the industry, we had over 120 units across the country. Now we are down to around 100 and falling. The units are all very old and we haven't built a new one from ground breaking to completion in 30 years. The LEFT (America's Enemies) has really done a number on us. Changes in Nuclear Power The IAEA site is fascinating.
