Mexico´s electrification program II

Continuing a discussion of Mexican electrification which began in a preceding issue, part II evaluates the country´s hydraulic, oil, and coal resources and comments on possibilities for future utilization in view of increased demand. The accessibility of these resources accents their importance in Mexico´s growing industrialization, a trend which is being brought about through the co-operation of government and industry. The government´s role is evident in comprehensive federal legislation which regulates all activities of the electrical industry from rate fixing to the establishment of standards for electric machinery.
