And it has just retired 850,000 inefficient household refrigerators in favor of modern, energy-efficient models, with millions more earmarked over the coming years.

卡尔德隆的政策从侧面反映了这种势头： 有人估计他正将墨西哥建设成世界增长最快的风电市场。 不仅如此，墨西哥还将在2014年前逐步淘汰所有老旧低效的照明灯泡。这个国家刚用高效现代的家用冰箱替换了850,000台低效冰箱，今后几年还将有几百万台冰箱按计划完成换代工作。 安装太阳能热水器等节能系统的墨西哥房主可以获得申请低利率“绿色抵押贷款”的资格。
