Mexico's Infrastructure Ceiling Is Not a Future Risk — It Is Present and Compounding
LEGO and Nestlé are committing billions to Mexico manufacturing. Meanwhile, Guadalajara — one of Mexico's largest industrial metros — is rationing water after a contamination crisis at Lake Chapala triggered street protests and federal intervention. Energy supply is structurally capped: fracking is prohibited under current regulation, and a Gulf of California LNG terminal just took a court-ordered delay. The contradiction is not hypothetical. Capital is accelerating into a system that cannot yet support the load it is being asked to carry.
