Mexico to finally end energy monopoly

The Mexican government is poised to finally open their energy industry to foreign investment, but in order to do so, they’ll have to amend their constitution first.

According to a board member for Petroleos Mexicanos, a government owned Oil Company, the country needs “very deep” legislative reform in order to attract private equity investments in crude and natural gas fields.  The proposed legislative is set to take effect by this Fall, claims Hector Moreira, a former official in Mexico’s Energy Ministry.

The Institutional Revolutionary Party - Mexico’s ruling party - is in the position to open the energy industry to foreign investment. Theoretically, this should stimulate domestic growth – an essential step to ensuring a stable and sustainable future for the region’s second-largest economy.

Representatives from Grupo Financiero Banorte and JPMorgan Chase & Co. are optimistic that President Enrique Pena Nieto will take the necessary steps to ensuring that the legislation passes.

“This administration doesn’t only have the willingness, but the political power and political capital to enact the changes,” says Gabriel Casillas, Banorte’s chief economic advisor.

A sluggish economy is putting added pressure on President Pena Nieto. Analysts predict that the proposed legislation and heightened taxes will boost the economy 6%.



Obviously, the world is slowly transitioning away from centralized energy infrastructures to independent, diverse, and interconnected alternatives.

NRGLab saw this transition coming long ago. That’s why we’ve spent the past decade developing a number of clean, renewable energy projects. Our goal is to make electricity universally available. No matter where you live or how much money you make, everyone deserves to plug-in to the world. Everyone deserves the chance to make something of themselves.

So, if you’re tired of relying on a public power provider, if you’re tired of bills you have no control over, and if you’re tired of contributing to the staggering level of carbon in our atmosphere – look no further than NRGLab. Visit our website at nrglab.asia for more information on any number of our projects. From the emission-free SH-Box to energy-efficient gasification processes – we’re working towards a better tomorrow. A greener future.

Cinco de Mayo: wait, what are we celebrating again?

As the United States of America and Mexico celebrate Cinco de Mayo, the holiday has people wondering: wait, what are we celebrating again?

The 5th of May has essentially evolved into a Hispanic version of St. Patrick’s Day; a day to drink and be merry until the body is physically unable to take anymore. High schoolers, college frat boys, and Mexican-Americans alike will toast to good times and better friendships.

Most presume the date marks Mexico’s independence from Spain. But they’d be wrong.



Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. The victory boosted the underwhelmed Mexican army’s morale and helped carry them another five years against their technologically-superior invaders.

The holiday celebrates the triumph of democracy over tyranny, and honors those who’ve sacrificed their lives so that others might know freedom. Whether you’re celebrating or not, that cause is worth remembering.

Besides drinking in excess, typical Cinco de Mayo festivities include parades, mariachi music, dancing, and street performances. It’s a way for Hispanic communities to embrace their heritage and pass traditions along to the next generation.



The rest of the world should be as passionate about how the next generation remembers history. Our children should be free to pursue their passions. To pursue knowledge. And to celebrate the fact that their parents and grandparents and great-grandparents loved them so much that they fought and died for that freedom.

NRGLab is fighting to free people from the bonds of corporate and government utilities. With the SH-Box, an affordable electrical generator that’s powered by an all-natural crystalline core, families, communities and small businesses can finally experience energy independence. The SH-Box produces electricity for as little as $0.03 per kW, which is practically nothing compared to the markup your local power supplier is charging you.

Energy independence is simply the first step. Affording everyone – not just the wealthy or developed countries – reliable access to electricity opens up the gates for new ideas and the spread of culture. Hopefully this will lead to a better understanding between foreign nations, creating a global harmony the likes of which mankind has never seen.

War isn’t the only means of inspiring people. Technology has just as much power. All it takes is one breakthrough, one innovation, and society is never the same. The printing press. The steam engine. The internet. And now the SH-Box.

So Happy Cinco de Mayo to those of you celebrating! And to those of you who aren’t, check out NRGLab’s homepage at nrglab.asia, and consider joining us in the fight for energy independence.

Because we’re changing the world. And we’re just getting started…
