He hasn’t been representing green energy investors.
During a visit to Mexico last week President Biden’s climate envoy, John Kerry, heaped praise on President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. “I see wisdom in his leadership that wants to undo some of the mistakes of the past and help to promote the interests of the people,” Mr. Kerry said of the 69-year-old career politician who sat nearby whispering to his team and grinning.
Mr. Kerry apparently saw no irony in linking arms for a photo-op, on the same trip, with Manuel Bartlett, one of the most notorious “dinosaurs” of Mexico’s one-party state during the 20th century. Mr. Bartlett is now the director of the state-owned Federal Electricity Commission, or CFE, which is at the center of a dispute with American renewable-energy investors.
The climate envoy’s job is to travel around the world spreading fear about global warming and pressuring countries to adopt the environmental lobby’s agenda. Mr. Kerry is good at the former. But while his seven trips to Mexico over 18 months seem to have made him Mr. López Obrador’s new BFF, they’ve done nothing to advance the cause of renewable energy in Mexico.
Mexico reformed its constitution in 2013 to allow for private investment—foreign and domestic—in energy. In November 2018, then-President Enrique Peña Nieto signed a renegotiated North American Free Trade Agreement, christened the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Whereas Nafta did not commit Mexico to open its energy sector, USMCA consolidated the opening Mexico had done unilaterally and prohibits discrimination of investors and service providers.
AMLO, as the Mexican president is known, took office in December 2018 with a goal of restoring the monopoly power of the CFE and the state-owned oil company Petróleos Mexicanos, or Pemex. To get there, he’s been backtracking on Mexico’s USMCA obligations.

Who accompanied him...
What’s John Kerry Doing in Mexico?
Scoring some coke?.....................
What is he doing? Something detrimental to America, no doubt.
He’s probably parasailing or riding a girl’s bike or something.
There, fixed it.
He needs hisself some of dat car-tell action...
Whatever he is doing, hopefully he stays there.
Is he bringing James Taylor with him this time?
Oh, Mexico
It sounds so simple, I just got to go
The sun’s so hot I forgot to go home
Guess I’ll have to go now
Which people?
Prolly buying up property. It will be a nice place once they get rid of all the criminals and peasants
Wind surfing, in the manner of Ghengis Khan
Poor Jaime Taylor. It must be miserable going through life navel
gazing and moaning and whining day after day, espcially so with
long faced "friends" like John "rice grain in the buttocks" Kerry.
Doing what he always does; enriching himself at the cost of America as a whole. *SPIT*
Why do old Commies have such a long shelf-life? It’s got to be the pacts they made with Satan. There’s no other explanation for it!
LOL. And that's pronounced "Jengis" in Kerryese.
Getting handed cartel cash to keep the borders open.
MIT climate scientist Dr. Richard Lindzen said this week that humanity should do “nothing” about global warming and should focus instead on “resilience.”
In a March 21 interview with Andrew Bolt of Sky News Australia, Lindzen — an atmospheric physicist and emeritus professor of meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) — declared that climate alarmism “is exploiting people’s ignorance to promote fear and use it as a lever.”
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said last week, for instance, that “warp speed climate action” is urgently needed to stave off the coming climate Armageddon. Every country “must massively fast-track climate efforts,” Guterres declared, because the “climate time-bomb is ticking.”
“We need climate action on all fronts — everything, everywhere, all at once,” Guterres urged.
According to Lindzen, such alarmism is not shared by the bulk of the scientific community.
“A large number of scientists are saying, yes, indeed, it’s warming,” Lindzen acknowledged. “And they might even add that perhaps there is a matter of concern. Relatively few that I know of who even support the narrative would ever say that this is involving an existential threat.”
Asked point blank, “What do you think we should do about global warming?” Lindzen replied: “Nothing.”
Lindzen, known for his research on the dynamics of the atmosphere, including the study of atmospheric tides and the interactions between the atmosphere and the oceans, said that there is “pretty universal agreement” that “if the whole Anglosphere and the European Union were to shut down completely, bury all industrial activity so we don’t generate CO2 … its impact on climate would be negligible.”
“The rest of the world is going to continue and they’re now dominating emissions,” he explained. “So no matter what you believe about climate, our actions will do nothing about climate.”
Kerry is probably seeing what can be done to increase the numbers invading the USA.
