How then, do we move backwards? How does a society, with most of the people having no clue of future events, move from being dependent on a vast and intertwined network of goods and services produced by the indigenous people of whereever, to a local resource and renewable energy based society, and do so in the timeframe available (20-30 years using the most liberal extimates, 10-20 with resonable estimates, 5-10 with worst case scenarios), all the while prices on everything increasing, world politics getting more militaristic, governments continuously reducing civil liberties, shortages of goods on the market and weather patterns resembling bad Hollywood movies?

Calderon stole the presidential election from Obrador. Since that time a civil war has been taking place in Mexico. As much a Class War and Revolution, the supporters of Obrador have targeted the oil facilities in Mexico. They have been responsible for the attacks on oil and gas piplines across Mexico disrupting supplies to foreign manufacturing forcing them to shut down for extended periods. The blockading of onshore oil facilities is another act in the ongoing civil war. Their goal; nothing less than driving out foreign investment and cutting the purse strings of Calderon and his illigitimate Government.

The article you attached stated Calderon won by a narrow margin. More probable than your statement about the stolen election but hey this is conspiracy central anyway.
There is very little foreign investement in Pemex anyway. Most analyst feel that's one of the reasons their production is so poor. They dump all their money into the federal coffers and spend far too little on investment in the infrastructure.
Cutting the purse string will only cut the throat of Mexico, send several more dozens of millions norte. Left wing governments are just so good at taking care of their people, hey maybe they will build a Berlin wall to keep their folks in like the Soviets did!

Overwhelming evidence reveals massive fraud in the 2006 Mexican presidential election between president-elect Felipe Calderon of the conservative PAN party and Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of the more liberal PRD. In an election riddled with arithmetic mistakes, a partial recount uncovered evidence of abundant stuffing and stealing of ballots that favored the PAN victory.
Meanwhile, US interests were significantly invested in the outcome of Mexico's election. Though neither candidate had any choice but to cooperate with the US agenda, important differences existed around energy policy, specifically with regard to foreign privatization of Mexican oil and gas reserves.

I wouldn´t doubt for a minute Cyd being correct. As a matter of fact, I recall the long weeks it took to the Mexican "supreme court" to decide off who the winner was out of such electoral farse.
This all points, IMO, to those hidden supra national powers movings its strings at convenience ..... especially right in those energy producing countries.
