The merger of Texas and Mexico as an Energy producing Superstate. With one million wind turbines an income can be achieved in the way of 100 trillion over twenty years. Austin can be upgraded to a Parliament City, Mexico City to a 25 million population megacity, Huston into a Hydrogen/hydrocarbon factory and export hub, and another million wind turbines over the next ten years thus turning New Texas into an Energy Superpower by 2050.
With an income in the way of 10 trillion per year as of 2050 new Texas will have control of pretty much the destiny of North America. Its ability to provide cheap energy will cause it to become an industry growth region.
So Thoughts? Flags? A dedicated Parliament City? A mega-city? New Texas owning the Rest of North America? It wont even need to tax people or companies.
I'm pretty sure Texas would never take Mexico. With all the bad blood over border crossings and all; the only state I'd say less likely to do something like this would be Arizona.
Only slightly less sure Mexico would never take Texas. Only slightly.

Lets say that they did. Texas and Mexico merging to become an energy producing 'New Texas'? Would people see the benefit in real wealth rather than a state of poverty?

Why you always messin' with stuff in the states? What about Australia and Japan becoming a new country? Panaustral could merge the vast open spaces of Australia with the techdev of Japan. Factories everywhere!!! It would rule.
[/endsnark] :p
I'll get to the BIllion Population City in Australia when I have all the other pieces in place.
Ha ha. Yellowdingo's a secessionist.

When I was a kid, I wanted to see a picture of George Washington beheading King George after a climactic battle, because there could be only one.
My teacher was not amused.

Waiting for it.....

Oddly enough the statue of Stuart the explorer was torn down by drunken vandals.

They should do something about that dingo problem.

No. I'll tell you in due time. I'm waiting for something to occur.
Why New Texas? Why not New Mexicoooh wait...
He's jealous of our awesomeness. It's sad really.

West and East Berlin had a lot of bad blood over boarder crossings too. Never stopped them.

YD, how would New Texas make $100 trillion/year, when the world GDP is only $69 trillion/year?
Also, you're forgetting the Alamo, something you're expressly not supposed to do.

YD's get-rich-scheme goes something like this:
1. Cover New Texas (or other place picked by YD) in wind turbines2. Abolish law of supply and demand
3. Sell ridiculous amounts of electricity at current prices
4. Profit
Wouldn't it be better to call it Texaco? =)
Texas and Mexico merging to become an energy producing 'New Texas'?You could call it "Texaco."
(Does that have meaning to anyone outside the States?)
I liked it better when he said it.....

Not really. The GDR government was the only one who had a problem with their people fleeing the country. There was some political hassle, but it never devolved into "bad blood". The refugees were welcomed in the west.

3% growth for 40 years brings it to 225 trillion.YD, how would New Texas make $100 trillion/year, when the world GDP is only $69 trillion/year?

That doesn't mean the world is going to start spending 45% of its GDP on energy.

Huh. A large desert with vast oil reserves populated by heavily armed religious fundamentalists who don't like homosexuals, womens' rights, or centralized government.
We'd be invading it for oil in a week.

And the inevitable Texas bashing begins. Time to hide this thread.
I think Tex-Mex would be better.
And then Texas because controlled by corrupt Police and Drug Cartels.
I say let them go
Quite aside from the fact that, historically speaking, to get a majority of Texans in favor of secession you need to threaten to take away their slaves, no. Too many innocent bystanders to just cut loose into what would within a year or so be the North American Saudi Arabia.

What is the demand for enough energy to launch an ocean liner sized spaceship into space on a maglev once a day?

Given Africa can be bought on line as an economy ultimately worth 20 billion-billion, raising it's populace out of poverty will get you more GDP.

Some people have been so well indoctrinated that the truth doesn't matter, Spanky. It's best just to ignore them.
