Natural Gas Engines Could Have a Very Big Role to Play in the Future of Transport
CNBC reported: Reliable, quick transport is crucial to the smooth running of the global economy, but its significance is not without cost.

Besides the physical connections (e.g., pipelines and transmission lines), the partnership is built on three market pillars: Mexican crude oil to the U.S., U.S. gasoline to Mexico, and U.S. natural gas to Mexico. This strong trade is bolstered by an equally strong NAFTA, which AMLO has promised to “respect.” The reforms are now written into the Mexican Constitution.
