dc.description.extractThe governments of Mexico and the United States are in charge of countries and economies based on fossil fuel. They are producers, exporters, and consumers of oil and gas that also have relatively little alternative energy. This is faithfully reflected in the energy mix data: in both countries, coal still represents a significant proportion (10 percent in the United States and 4 percent in Mexico). But the biggest problem is that oil and gas continue to represent the immense majority of their energy mix: 69 percent in the United States, and the even greater figure of 84 percent in Mexico. Alterna- tive energies are barely larger than coal: in the United States hydroelectricity represents 2 percent; biofuels, 4 percent, and other renewables, 6 percent. In Mexico, hydroelectricity represents only 1 percent; biofuels, 6 percent, and other alternative sources, 3 percent. Nuclear power is also low: 9 percent in the U.S. and 2 percent in Mexico.1 In both cases, we are looking at very conventional energy mixes, dominated by oil, and whose development has been throughout history — and even today — intimately linked to the massive production and consumption of this energy source, which, it must be said, they have always obtained at low cost in internationally comparative terms (p. 41).
