Hypothetically speaking, lets say you have plans to build a huge infrastructure project to both product energy from Ocean Wave Motion and use that energy to power up a desalination plant. Good idea right? Well yes our Online Think Tank agrees so you are in good company with your kudos for such a concept.
Now then with real estate prices so high along the coasts of the United States, where can you put it to get a decent Return on Investment? Well, Google Earth works good for aerial surveying and location picking. In the old days in the company I founded, I had to use aerial photography to map our marketing for our company, today, it is easy with released satellite photos. Why not put the unit in Baja Mexico to feed energy to power hungry and thirsty Southern California?
I agree that Baja is perfect and lots of land. If the government of Mexico were not such questionable folks I would give it 100% green light, although if they are making money too, they make good friends.

My thoughts and I actually wrote an article about it was to desalinate there on the Mexico side and feed San Diego, but with the idea of power well you could have massive Mexico side suburbs, industry with power and water there.
It would be very smart planning in fact I read that Arnolds Economic Team also looked at this idea.

Others have looked at this idea, I think I wrote this article back in October of 2005. What about other areas over our border such as outside of Brownsville, TX on the Gulf Shore between Mexican Ports; they need the power, so do we and water too. Plus, good economic development means less illegal aliens rushing into Texas. Perhaps this article might propel thought in 2007.
