MEXICO CITY, Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Within four years, Mexico wants to produce 25 percent of its electricity from renewable sources, the country's energy secretary said.
"The goal is that in 2012 renewable energy sources will account for more than a quarter of total capacity," said Georgina Kessel.
One of the Mexican government's priorities is to promote renewable energy as a means of ensuring the country's energy security, Spanish news agency EFE reported.
An important part of that strategy will be the construction of wind farms in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec where installed capacity is expected to exceed 2,500 megawatts in 2012, Kessel said.
This story is significant because the issue dealing with energy and energy sources is a very important one. With natural resources running out an alternative source of energy is very badly needed.
