This contributed volume, edited by Adrian Duhalt (Rice University's Baker Institute) and Isidro Morales (BUAP), takes a distinctly geographical approach — instead of tracking only production and investment figures, it maps how pipelines, refineries, power plants, gas corridors, and renewable energy projects reshape regional economies, livelihoods, and political dynamics across the country. Thirteen chapters move from national policy questions down to specific territories, from Baja California's cross-border energy security to indigenous consent disputes over wind farms in Oaxaca, building a resource for understanding how energy transition plays out on the ground in a major North American economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaps how cross-border natural gas flows with Texas and Baja California's status as an \"energy island\" shape US-Mexico energy security planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalyzes real disputes over indigenous consent (the Bi Nisa wind farm in Oaxaca) and community dispossession in fishing areas (Sanchez Magallanes) — directly relevant to ESG and social-license risk assessment for energy projects in Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocuments how the Universal Electricity Trust program is being used to combat energy poverty, offering a policy case study for practitioners designing similar access programs elsewhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombines national-level policy analysis (energy deregulation, the shift from state monopoly to a multi-actor market) with in-depth regional case studies spanning natural gas infrastructure, petrochemical value chains in southern Veracruz, cross-border gas integration with Texas, renewable energy geography, and the social and environmental impact of energy projects across Baja California, the Yucatan Peninsula, Tabasco, Campeche, and Oaxaca.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdrian Duhalt is a Nonresident Scholar at SMU's Texas-Mexico Center and a former Research Scholar at Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy and Postdoctoral Fellow at Rice University's Baker Institute.
