Texas electricity is growing by leaps and bounds. Texas and Mexico recently cited the importance of working together to increase future developments in the energy industry, specifically the importance of expanding oil and gas pipelines between both areas, and combining powers to help in the development of wind power.

Mexico is currently the third largest exporter of oil to the U.S., and approximately 70 percent of gas produced in Texas comes from Mexico. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of this proposed partnership is the opportunity to increase the wind capacity in the U.S., which is quite possibly a significant increase considering the relatively untouched wind capacity in Mexico, and the annual growth of wind power in Texas.
