Abstract

NIEBLAS ORTIZ, Efraín Carlos  and  QUINTERO NUNEZ, Margarito. Gestión ambiental transfronteriza para la generación eléctrica en la región California, Estados Unidos-Baja California, México. Región y sociedad [online]. 2006, vol.18, n.37, pp.03-35. ISSN 2448-4849.

Baja California could become the favorite site for increased investment in the area of power generation. greater laxity of environmental normativity and procedures in México in comparison with those of the usa, would encourage this scenario. Non-fulfillment of the air quality regulations proposed by both federal administrations has been detected in Tijuana-San Diego and Mexicali-Imperial. We suggest the creation of a binational management mechanism for the shared atmospheric basins, which would establish a procedure for strategic and transborder environmental assessment, allowing the introduction of new industries without an increase in emissions volume or greater air quality degradation.

Keywords : transborder environmental impact; shared atmospheric basin.
