This last reform is critical, because much of Mexico’s geology is very similar to that of the southwestern US. In principle, Mexico’s economy should be benefiting from the same shale-gas revolution that is providing a huge boost to the US, where natural-gas prices are now less than one-quarter of what Europeans pay.
最后一项改革是关键性的，因为墨西哥大部的地质特征与美国东南部极为相似。从理论上说，墨西哥经济应该像美国一样从页岩气革命中获得巨大的好处。在美国，天然气价格还不到欧洲的四分之一。
