François Poirier's opinion column from the Wall Street Journal, February 3, 2025

The Guadalajara Pipeline connects to an LNG facility located near Manzanillo on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. It has capacity to transport 500 million cubic feet of natural gas per day to a nearby power plant and transport 320 million cubic feet per day to a pipeline system near Guadalajara.

From end to end, the Tula Pipeline Project is 287 km (178 miles) in length and will deliver fuel from Tuxpan, Veracruz, to communities in the states of Puebla and Hidalgo. The pipeline has the capacity to carry 886 million cubic feet per day of natural gas.

Access to water is a basic Human Right and, most of us take it for granted, however, for indigenous communities in northern Mexico that is not the case. Providing drinking water to these communities in the mountain region of Chihuahua has been a dire challenge for many decades. The extreme temperatures – reaching up to 40°C (104°F) in summer – and the desert conditions of the area cause severe droughts across that state every year. These conditions are exacerbated by the lack of infrastructure to supply water to smaller communities affected by shortages.
