Mexico must be more open to international investment if it wishes to remain a viable energy provider, former Mexican president Vicente Fox said at a recent World Affairs Council of Houston event. Even Cuba, a communist, anti-capitalist and anti-American country, is benefiting from private investment in its oil assets, he said. Pemex, the Mexican national oil company, suffers because of a steadfast refusal to accept the benefits of private investment. Non-national ownership of Mexico's natural resources is forbidden by the country's constitution. Please contact custserv@hartenergy.com with any questions, or call 713-260-6442.
