RE: Bioethanol: actually not so "bio" [Green science in action 1]
However, there are certain considerations that have not been taken into account when it is called as a "biofuel" that have to do with the health of the environment and the people working in this area, among others considerations.
That would be incorrect.
Not only were the considerations taken into account but strenuous objections were raised. Frantic attempts were made attempting to point out the potential downside.
All for naught. The Watermelons(Green on the outside, red on the inside) steamrolled the opposition. Anyone who had the nerve and audacity to disagree with them were obviously in the employ of Big Oil and were thus _EVIL
The WaterMelon agenda is now being subsidized by taxpayer money.
How's that working out for us?
That's exactly the point. When I talk about the considerations not had into account I mean that the ones who don't consider this consequences are the ones who have the power to decide: the huge businessman owners of these companies and the goverment, who, apparently, doesn't regulate properly these scenarios. (If my english failled please let me know)
why do you assume that government is competent?
That's what I assume about any government; if they are the head of the country they should be competent
What does reading history lead you to expect?
or perhaps current events.
Venezuela and Syria come to mind.
I know, Brazil isn't the first nor the last country with this kind of problems. But likewise, not all governments behave this way. For example, France erradicated the use of plastic bags and other disposable elements that contaminate the environment, that's an advance. As I said, we shouldn't lose hope and of course it isn't enough, action has to be involved.
