A major change in the energy policies in Mexico has becoming necessary. Because the consumption of fossil fuels is expensive and not renewable, new energy settings are indispensable for electricity generation. At the end of 21st century first decade, there are few possibilities of massive electricity generation coming from domestic reserves of gas, petroleum and cual. Additionally, the outdated systems of electric energy generation have high operating costs that reduce the growth of the country. The Mexican energy policies are oriented to intensify the electricity generation based on natural gas and mineral coa[ importation. It produces external energy dependence and a leak of currencies. In this sense, nuclear energy jointly with the renewable energy sources could support the nacional energy autonomy because is most prof Cable, furthermore to promote other benefits as the environmental conservation. The aim of this paper is to propose the diversification in the energy consumption of Mexico using new sources of nuclear energy and the renewable sources of energy as hydrogen production, to resolve the demand of electric energy that is required in the next decades.
