Dear Mexico

Dear Mexico-

How are you? I am fine. I am wondering if I might give you a little advice. I have an idea that might make you some money. It's pretty simple.

Have you considered building a series of nuclear power plants near your border with the US? Tijuana is only 135 miles from LA. It's also 20 miles from San Diego, 417 from Tucson, 350 from Las Vegas and Phoenix. There are a lot of power-hungry Americans living there. Sure, it will cost you up front, but think of how much the USA will be willing to pay for that power once Cap'n Trade comes sailing in on his pirate schooner. Besides, you can avoid much of the cost by building an already existing design, say a modern French-designed plant. Litigation costs, a prohibitive factor in the USA, could be avoided easily by an act of your legislature. Yes, a few American eco-nuts will show up there for sit-ins and the like. You can enjoy throwing them in jail for a while. See how quickly they head back home to their ivy-league dorm rooms.

Anywho, it's just a thought.

Adios Amigo,

-Steve
