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.
