Economy size is very interesting in itself and has a lot of relevance in some decisions, but per capita has always seemed more important to me, i.e. the Italy and Russia comparison as similar size economies is an interesting one.

Mexico is apparently 10th in population.

Texas’ proximity to Mexico is a dream for both. Cheap, clean energy, an abundance of workers, and a stable trading partner.

Yeah there’s been a ton of growth in Monterrey, it feels very new and modern like all the development in Austin. I’m very optimistic about northeast Mexico.

Demographics-wise it makes sense that Mexico passed South Korea and Australia. And long-term it's projected Mexico will get up to 7th place by 2050. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/these-will-be-th...

How does one invest in this to ride the wave?

Cheap/clean energy and Texas don’t seem to line up. They have an oil and natural gas monopoly that goes all the way up to their elected officials. It’s literally why they had that massive grid failure. It wasn’t a capacity issue it was just greed.

GDP PPP is the one that matters.

Texas nevertheless enjoys an abundance of renewable energy sources. They have more than any other state including California and are adding more faster than any other state. Their renewable fraction is still not as high as California, because they use so much more energy, but their absolute numbers are very high. Texas also has a natural advantage that their solar resources are far to the west of their population centers, so their "duck curve" looks a little more tolerable.
