Mexico is a major oil producer although they are not a an OPEC member. They are not a major nat gas producer as far as I know. So pipeline capacity may be a factor. Mexico City is the most badly polluted city in the world re air quality. So perhaps their newer plants are nat gas plants- just a guess; I do not not know for a fact. Victor, Mexico definitly is a major oil producer and they have a lot of natural gas. The oil and gas is mostly found from central Mexico on down. I do not know what the power plants are now buring in Mexico City but the planned plants in Baja are to be natural gas. The terrain in Mexico is difficult (costly) to create adequate pipeling capacity for natural gas to move it from southern Mexico to northern Mexico. The planned plants in Baja are planned to be built by US energy firms in conjuction with some mexican firms. The plan is to a pipeline from the core natural gas pipeline in Southern California down to Baja. This core pipeline is already transporting natural gas at maximum capacity so I can't figure how there will be extra to run the three proposed very large natural gas plants in Baja.
