The ENergy Corridor (TEC)

The energy-water corridor

There is bipartisan recognition that the border between the US and Mexico must be secure and that tracking of goods and contraband at any point across the 1,989 miles of this border must stop. We applaud the steps being taken to adequately fund the Department of Homeland Security for ensuring border security. However, the need for a long-term solution presents an opportunity to build a secure, large-scale economic development zone at strategic locations along the US-Mexico border. We propose that a team of academic institutions and industry helps the governments of the United States of America and Mexico build a Future Energy, Water, Industry, and Education Park (FEWIEP).
