 The dynamics of capitalist growth in Mexico has been causing a pressure on the rural areas as many peasants and indigenous people in Mexico possess land in the places that have the potential of generating energy by the wind, the water and the monocultures. Many of the movements that are presented against the installation of wind farms, construction of dams and against the introduction of crops for biofuels, are fights against the processes of dispossession (Harvey, 2004, 2007) that has to do with world energy demand, product of the capitalist restructuring of the world where the dynamics of economic liberalization and free trade are demanding increasingly greater quantity of raw materials and consumer goods at the cost of depriving land, resources and territories to many rural and indigenous communities. Thus the struggles against the domain agro-energy of the rural areas are part of the confrontation against the model extractive (Gudynas, 2009) which is the pattern of accumulation based on the overexploitation of natural resources, in large part, non-renewable resources, as well as the economic expansion toward places considered as unproductive. Together with this dynamic of subordination of the peasant territories to the logic of development of the energetic enterprises, there is also an unprecedented labor exploitation, as shown by the survey conducted by AON consultants and presented in March of this year in the Congress on wind energy. It is noted that the majority of the workers in this industry lack a union that defends them and therefore of the economic and social rights.
