Previously the flows from international mixes were missing.

The international mix for electricity is equal to the US average for a certain fuel except ( alaska and hawaii).

Thus Cananda - Alberta - Gas is the electricity flow representative of US Average - Gas for all regions.

Once connected, the international flows feed to the surplus pools of various regions where they are used.

A new file was required to be read that had the combination of fuel technology mixes for International mixes, Like Mexico is 100% Wind etc.

This works - my intent was to have excluded_regions as a parameter for the function. To make things easier for you, you could make the default value ['HIMS...] so that you don't have to change the function calls. Again, this is just so that we have an easy way to modify which regions are excluded without having to modify generation_mix.py.

Ok I will add this as a parameter to the function. The excluded regions will thus be put as a list in init.py where generation mix is called? (Or should that be in main?)

I edited this variable to be a parameters of the function.
