Should include Mexico in North America

Is this why there is a "world-wide view" tag in the article? Mexico is not a part of NERC, except for the northern chunk of Baja California, and the article already mentions that. You'd have to have laws passed in Mexico to have it join NERC, and that seems unlikely. So, I'm going to remove the "needs a wold-wide viewpoint" tag from the article.

Everything is 10 years out of date.
I was doing some research. MRO doesn't exist anymore it was replaced by MISO. SPP controls all the states north of Texas now. I'm not sure what contracts and deals lead to this, but this Wikipedia article does not reflect the current US power grid. — Preceding

What about Mexico?
I know little about Mexico, but geographically it is part of North America. Someone should do an update.
And I'd assume there is a lot more to say after the disasters in Texas.

In the broader scheme of things, there is the concept of
financialization as a means of capital extraction, which has lead to what
Cory Doctorow calls "
enshitification" in many sectors of economic activity. The Mexican "go it alone" effort is presumably intended to combat the negative consequences of financialization. Whether it will work or not, I dunno. Ask me again in twenty years. Meanwhile
ERCOT has resulted in stunningly low electric prices in Texas (about $1 to $3 LMP, and
Southwest Power Pool also has low prices (also about $3 LMP). Both
NYISO and
Cal ISO and
MISO have LMP in the range of $25 to $35 so there is a freakin huge variation in prices. Is this due to low regulatory regimes? Sunnier weather? Why doesn't the northeast have more wind power? Why is MISO still 50% coal (Texas is about 5% coal). What are the LMP prices in Mexico? Who knows ...
