Soon California will be importing electricity from Mexico. The Mexicans will build coal and oil fired plants where the prevailing winds will blow North.

They have for years and it is growing.

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.
