So Sempra http://www.sempra.com/ is trying to get approvals in Mexico to
build Wind Farms to supply power to Los Angeles.  Estimates say that Baja
Wind could provide 25-30% of LA's power needs.

They need help getting this off the ground and financed and the estimate to
build the transmission lines to Los Angeles is $115B over 10 years.

Mexico has lost 23,000 people over the last 3 years to the Drug Wars and
crack down by the Mexican federal government at the request of the USA.
Mexico blames the US appetite for drugs for their despair

Can we provide a virtuous circle solution?  Security - renewable energy -
financing - public policy - international trade - super nice vacation home
in Baja - border security - tacos 24/7?

Is this worth a "1 Sheeter" or a discussion?

Best,

Neil
