Lopez Obrador's Dream

Lopez Obrador's Dream | Bye, bye Deschamps | The framing - M E X I C A N W A V E

The mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador had a dream (or a nightmare, call it whatever you want); in that dream, the Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE, is the power production government company) was the only power producer; and all the mexican people have the access to shipper energy services. But, in the other side, there are a malicious and penny pinchers businessmen that want to control all that.

So, in the dream, Lopez Obrador thought how to combat these people's enemy, then it was when he created the reform for the Ley de la Industria Eléctrica (Electrical Industry Law). In this law, there are so much privileges for CFE, so the private companies argue that is a regulation that encourages the unfair competition.

What's more distintivo the green energy production, and they think the law is going to generate higher costs in the energy services and products for the people.

Only six days after the probation of the reform of Electrical Industry Law, a judge ordered suspensions for the legislation. Until this moment, there are more than 40 suspensions, and the Secretaría de Energía (the mexican energy agency), ordered suspensions for all the effects of the Law, to comply what was ordered for the judge.

Now, a long litigation is expected. López Obrador ordered to investigate the Judge, because he said there are so many interests involved in a topic like the energy industry.

The water, a crisis is coming

In the following months there could be scheduled supply cuts for the Monterrey metropolitan area, due to the low level of the Cerro Prieto dam and an adverse forecast in terms of rain in the short term. Even Agua y Drenaje de Monterrey (AyDM, the state company for the water administration) raised the tone of its awareness campaigns on the care of the resource; but, in the words of Gerardo Garza, general director of the organization, the efforts have been unsuccessful. "The situation is very critical, 15 percent of the water that reaches the city comes from the Cerro Prieto source, and it will stop pumping in 50 - 55 days," he explained.
