15,000 to be displaced by proposed Amazon dam

[lovosazul]

Pathetic!?...Just another example of creepedy-crapedy-corporate-rut­hless-rotten-spirited-mongrels at work where they most definitely SHOULD NOT BE WORKING!? MY HEART AND THOUGHT ARE WOTH ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE AMAZON IN SOUTH AMERICA.

isto sao os lobbyes das corporações em ação acordem brasileiros que corporações nao querem saber de nada mais que dinheiro e mais dinheiro

[TheMundo2012]

Muito Obrigado! pelo video

Indio nao produz nada porém nao destroi. è muito triste o que esta contecendo no Amazonas.

[zacatetas]

I'm done buying my shit from amazon.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport Also Google "Measuring The Electric Vehicle's Environmental Footprint" for an insightful view of electric car impact on the environment.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport China Syndrome is a movie.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport My memory failed, its not 45 billion tons its 4,5 billion tons: "The world's oceans contain an estimated 4.5 billion tons of uranium, around 1,000 times the amount that is known to exist in uranium mines." cant post link here please google

[linghun]

@NDNSupport Really, never demonized? The China Syndrome? The Simpsons with Mr. Burns and the three-eyed fish? Countless fake Greenpeace "reports" claiming Chernobyl killed 150,000 when it killed 9,000, mindlessly repeated by the mainstream media? Of course the Cold War nuclear armageddon theme helped but nonetheless nuclear powerplants, by replacing coal, saved far more lives than they took. Still the safest annd cleanest by every conceivable measure.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport Then the Sun is dirty, the oceans are dirty for containing 45 billion tons of uranium, natural water springs are dirty, the soil is dirty, they are all loose in the environment whereas radioactive waste from nuclear powerplants has never leaked and can be safely stored, all the nuclear waste in the world fits in two football fields and could be neutralized/ annihilated by nuclear reprocessing and fast breeder reactors, generating energy.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport Yes but 50% of Brazilians have at least partly indigenous DNA, so it's not black and white, good guy versus bad guy, the world is not Hollywood.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport No wrong again. The amount of coal and CO2 to power a pure electric vehicle is much less than a normal combustion engine uses for the same amount of power, and even hybrids still use more fuel and pump out more CO2 than the coal it takes for a pure electric. Besides not all electricity comes from coal. Coal is only widespread because environmentalists demonized and killed nuclear power. In France 80% of el is nuclear and in Brazil 90% is hydro, so EVs will be very clean there.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport Nuclea energy is what "mother nature" chose to power our biosphere, via the Sun, which is a natural nuclear powerplant. But even our very different uranium-based nuclear is far safer than even hydro. Solar power (= nuclear) is great, perhaps ennvironmentalists contribute 3000 USD/month of their pockets for 27 years to fund a 800 billion dollar solar powerplant to generate the same 11GW that Belo Monte dam will for 18 billion.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport Well and the Brazilians it's their country dammit! And whatever they did to tribes is an irrelevant reflection. 

[linghun]

@NDNSupport - Karl Marx said religion is "the opium of the people, THE HEART OF A HEARTLESS WORLD". Communists thought they were the heirs of religion and religion originally was a cry against oppression blabla but was coopted by the ruling classes, now Marxists had to bring back the original spirit of religion which is equality, socialism, etc. And artificial food is healthier than natural food. Local food is more energy-intensive than globalized food, given lower fuel/ton of large vessels

[studio7manga]

@NDNSupport

Electricity generated from nuclear energy on balance is roughly in the same ball park as most other commonly used sources. France has never had a major nuclear power problem despite ~80% of it's electricity coming from nuclear. The primary reason for this is because the power plants don't have enough fissile material to have the possibility of experiencing China syndrome.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport So what is the solution?

[linghun]

@NDNSupport Another thing to add here is that local Catholic and Protestant churches oppose the construction of the dam. 

[linghun]

@NDNSupport Ye right, truth is Indians eat only cassava and more cassava. Indigenous agriculture is the most extreme form of wasteful monoculture and their diet before 1500 was extremely poor. Indians clear-cut the forest far more to get far less food, no wonder they could never feed their population and war was common, keeping their numbers low after 10,000 years in S. America. Our globalized diet is very rich, bringing the best of all continents.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport Yet pre-industrial societies had a life expectancy of 30 and a child mortality 10, 20 times higher than modern industrial and developing ones so if you get sick I suggest u run to the hospital and forget the local shaman.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport I understand some planning and contraception did exist in tribal societies, but it was inefficient agriculture, hunger, poverty, lack of medicine, etc. that kept their numbers down, as well as war, as you point out. As to other genelizations about their superior knowledge of nature, etc. it is very relative. They do know the place they live and have practical understanding of nature but that is no match to modern science. As a Humanist, I do cherish all forms of human expression.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport No I said they are all savior-complex guilt belief systems that stifle the freedom of the human mind. They fight eachother because they compete for the same public, although they may seem different. A detailed analsysi of the situation would require far more space than youtubes comment box so I understand your non-agreement here.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport Yes because you have to believe you belong to a glorious caste of superior selfless people who will save the poor indians and the planet. You extract great self-satisfaction from that.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport Well I don't support greed and I have zero to benefit personally for the dam, it is the poor and low classes of Norther Brazil who will benefit, and prosperity brings the education needed for people to understand environmental issues, learn familiy planning etc.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport Christians oppose environmentalism for the same reason they oppose Islam, New Age, Evolution, etc - because they oppose anything that is not Christianity. One insanity tends to go against another just like Nazis fought Commies, etc. Open your eyes and see that Environmentalism is just Christianity and Marxism dressed in different clothes. We lost our paradise due to the sin of knowledge (tech, wealth, culture) and we have to sacrifice to get it back by repenting and feeling guilty.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport No I said the grandmother of Enviro-moronism and Marxism is Christianity. It was the germ of demetia that spawned the two other self-righteous cults for holier-than-thou people with a savior complex.

Materialism? Materialism is supporting a material entity like a forest as opposed to the well-being of fellow human beings. You sound like a Christian, acusing me of materialism. You just changed the insanity of Christian anti-humanism for that of Green anti-humanism.

[linghun]

@Archin04 The rainforests will be gone without our intervention anyway. 20 thousand years ago the Amazon didn't exist and in a few more millenia nature itself will make sure it will be destroyed, along with all rainforests of the world.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport Christianity was invented before the industrial age, when environmentalism made no sense. But Jesus said "it is easier for a camel to go throough a needle eye than for a rich man to enter heaven" - that is Marxism and Environmentalism right there. The idea that wealth is evil and we are Fallen from Paradise and must repent and sacrifice to enter it again is shared by all three IDIOTIC beliefe systems: Christianity, Marxism and Environutjobism. WAKE UP sheep.

[linghun]

@NDNSupport HAHAHAHAHAAH you think Im a Christian? Christianity is the grandmother of Environmentalism with the "Lost paradise due to the Sin of Technology" that we can get back we feel guilty enough. HAHAHAHA that made my day buddy u really nailed it this time. Me a Christian! Im an Atheist, unlike you, an Earth Worshipper. If we irritate Goddes Nature we'll be punished! hahahahaa 

[linghun]

@NDNSupport It would be greate if you occupy my home and relocate me! In fact I'd be glad too, as long as you do like the Brazilian government is doing: with full compensation and life-long assistance (which they already have, funded by taxpayers). People are being forcefully relocated to build new subway lines and roads worldwide, where is the outrage?

[linghun]

@NDNSupport So Americans reap the benefits of genocide but Brazilians have to endure poverty and expensive energy just because they didn't kill the Indians when it was OK... right... even though not a single Brazilian Indian will be killed, just relocated with full compensation and government assistance by trained anthropologists...

The whole world can develop and have energy, China displaced 2 million people for its huge hydro. Where is the petition to destroy it? Pure injustice.

[linghun]

@IndianLand25 It angers your EGO? So why are u not fighting to return the Mississippi valley to native americans and destroy 90% of the US agriculture? Why don't YOU make a sacrifice instead of demanding it from poor locals who just want a better life, like the one you have because you profit from the same development u hypocritically want to prevent others from having?

[MinaVanner]

In 1973 the United States Government once more declared War on the Native Americans. There was a lot of corruption in government officials who had access to Indian Reservations. Adding insult to injury, one of the worst was at The Pine Ridge Reservation. One agent, a man who was supposed to be there for the betterment and protection of the Tribal Peoples, was responsible for at least 60 executions of the same Indians he was in office to protect

[MinaVanner]

The U.S. Congress has directed the Forest Service to clearcut National Forests on behalf of wealthy and powerful timber and paper corporations. These corporations have bought political influence with Congress to pass laws that liquidate our priceless public forests for private profit

[SiouxSyndicate]

"The Final letter of mobilisation in defense of the Xingu/Amazon; against the belo Monte" So many dams and projects will be the beginning of the END of the Amazon..a TORAL exploitation, destruction in the end. We are NOT against brazil getting eneregy BUT not in the Amazon.Authorities lie to us. This also NOT a National matter (for all you racistst out there) ONE;LOVE! Stand up!

[linghun]

@SiouxSyndicate Not in the Amazon? The Amazon is the most protected major ecosystem on Earth, while other Brazilian ecosystems are far more threatened. If this powerplant is not built, they will build it elsewhere, displacing more people or worse, using fossill fuels instead of clean hydro.

[SiouxSyndicate]

We must simply take down the system..nothing to believe in if we let this continue..its sad but I truly believe we have to consider violence all over the world against the responsible powers. Make sure we get the right ones.

No peace..cant be no more.

@SiouxSyndicate And who is gonna run your new world? James Cameron?

-SE PARARMOS DE DES.MATAR; OS AMERICANOS FICARÃO DESEMPREGADOS.

Yankees go home, go take care of your FUCKIN oil spills or something. Hands off Brazil!!!

[frenchieyoyo]

people have the ability to live in the natural world but chose meaningless materials...think about great architecture from the Greek and Roman times taking decades to build to honor their gods which we still travel just to see these pieces of art.compared with the mass race to build cement buildings just to fuel consumerism and horde money.which is in fact meaningless because money is a social construct and it only transient while nature is life+ permanent+awes us or have we forgotten that

[JESUSISTHEONLYESCAPE]

@AllAboutBrazil YOU ARE SUCH A EASY PREY!!!!

TRY TO FIND WHY!!

GOOD LUCK!!

[JESUSISTHEONLYESCAPE]

I AM BRAZILIAN AND I DO AGREE WITH THIS PROJECT!

WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO WHATEVER WE INTEND TO TOWARDS THAT REGION!!

IF YOU CAN DO IN YOUR COUNTRY, WHY CAN'T WE IN OURS?

THE AMAZON DOES NOT BELONG TO INDIANS ALONE BUT TO THE REST OF BRAZILIAN PEOPLE, SO WE DO NEED TECHNOLOGY IN THIS AREA FOR POOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE OVER THERE.

YOU DONT AGREE?

GO AND HELP TO CLEAN THE GULF OF MEXICO, I THINK THERE IS STIL OIL LEFT OF THERE TO BE CLEANED.

[SpeedDennis]

Indians 'don't produce anything' because the only need what comes from the earth its self and don't need iphones and shit to produce like the modern humans do..

[SuperEarther]

@IndianLand25 no problem my friend.....Most of the time i just wished these idiots would consider for one second what they are infact doing....The other day i was on my mountain bike i decided to do my nature cycle.

When i noticed they were cutting down the forest it really saddened me and i felt a part of me was lost. Those trees are our lungs. What they are doing is committing the destruction of our planet :(

[JESUSISTHEONLYESCAPE]

@SiouxSyndicate YOU WILL HAVE A HEART ATTACK BY ACTING LIKE THAT!!

[linghun]

@SiouxSyndicate Except that the current Brazilian president is a socialist woman and the previous president who restarted this project was a socialist union leader born in povery who sold cotton candy in the streets to survive and reached power fighting for workers rights and poverty reduction. Poverty reduction needs clean renewable hydropower. While you are just a puppet of Hollywood and the media.

[SiouxSyndicate]

@linghun Mr Lula was NOT a socialist at all and to be honest..go to hell with all your fake democracy nonsense talking..go on..kill your forests,yourself. Who cares about you, NOT your goverment ..in this way at least.( haha..I mean COMPANIES) ..(I do btw..) Onelove

[linghun]

@SiouxSyndicate You are just a mindless puppet of Hollywood ideology. Besides the number of indians displaced will be ZERO, no Indigenous lands will be affected by the dam or the lake. ZERO.

How much does the fossil fuel industry pay you to fight against clean renewable hydropower?

[SiouxSyndicate]

@linghun Do you know how much forest is taken already and how big the turf is they will take by this..it simply cant go on..the ouil companies ruin much as well..in fact they are all mafia..so I dont take their money lol..im sincere and with love.

The world is the way it is because people think like Simontimon2.

Ignorance can be overcome

Stupidity prevails

[PhoenixAquua2012]

I would almost bet that simontimon2 is a Christian...your values are shining through...what a joke. Christianity equals capitalism, equals materialism.

That is YOUR worldview...not many others.

We must come to the understanding that all life is valuable.

To the least of my people...remember those words?...I didn't think so.

An assumption develops that you cannot understand life and live life simultaneously

[PhoenixAquua2012]

Why do people think that Western Investment is good?....we must come to agree that Capitalism has destroyed the spirit of humankind.

Phoenix Aquua at blogspot

[simontimon2]

Capitalism created the internet so that people can blog on how bad capitalism is.

Come on these people live in mud huts and are lucky to live more than 30 years.

This dam brings the luxuries of electricity to the poor by suplying cheap renewable energy.

Energy that can power schools and hospitals.

[linghun]

@simontimon2 Thank you for your sensible comment. We need to stop this "green" war on the poor.

[celiabonheur]

Os indios nao produzem ?Hoje os indios estão dentro das universidades, eles vieram pedir ajuda de fora, pois sao massacrados dentro de suas proprias terras. Por que esse monte de gringos estão documentando tudo? Se nao fossem os nao teriamos esta pouca floresta que os brancos ainda insitem em destruir, nao pensam no futuros dos filhos porque nao sabem o que vai ser da Amazonas sem floresta. Acorda Brasil.

[Creatorisintherain]

What has happened to these people...it has been months....could we get an up-date Please.?

Oh, and have a Great Thanksgiving..!

[klonedklein]

The 'Indians' should fight back... brainwashed, deadbeat, TV drones won't fight back unless you hit the mute button or take the remote away. Don't look at America for its progressive way of life; it doesn't exist. What you will get is loss of control over your life, land, thoughts... incredible debt, less education, poisons created by pharma instead of natural remedies.. Nothing is as it seems, and there are ulterior motives indeed.

peace

[bigcree]

Well put klonedklien. Empire building and 'Industrialization' are Zionist sponsered and part of their Agenda. Always sugarcoated for the masses of Sheeple to digest and eventually be controlled with. Time for real change. Not the state sponsered kind brought by IMF, CFR, Trilateral Monsters.

[linghun]

@klonedklein Nonetheless the main complaint of the Indians with the dam is that it will cut access to nearby cities where they usually go for medical care and medication, I guess traditional medicine mumbojumbo is not that great after all.

[klonedklein]

What they truly don't understand is that 'modern' man and ideas destroy harmony and balance of all life systems. Someone will profit and the energy will not be given freely now will it? There are underwater turbines that can generate energy, along with wind and solar. WASTING energy to light cities at night for looks is a waste. Low level solar lights would be fine-we have the tech. Destroying peoples not needing power for modern man is ludicrous; they operate on lies/propaganda to be sure.

[klonedklein]

Why do we need so much energy???? So everyone can plug into FOX at night? Sit in front of TVs all the time? Talk on the cell phone 24/7? It is greed, nothing more. Like I said, we have the technologies that do not destroy on grand proportions. If Meyers HHO device worked, it could be hooked up to sea water and generate power. If a little more research is needed, we surely have it; stop the billions on war and devote it to what we need most.. clean tech. Then the war distraction would stop

[linghun]

@klonedklein No, it's more like hospitals and schools can have power, people can get jobs, raise their children, get out of poverty, etc. In Brazil, the average person consumes 7 times less power than the average American, so I suggest you campaign to undam the Colorado river and reforest the Mississippi valley, making 50 million Americans lose their jobs, and then you tell poor Amazonians how to run their lives.

[simontimon2]

If corperation stared to make underwater turbines hippies like you wound go out and protest againts it.

Hippies wound probably say that under water turbines are destroying fish habitats.

My Science teach once told me that if renewable resouces are gona be created it will be by a bunch of fat busness men out to make money.

[burnthesystem187]

really do the world a favor and go shoot yourself your ignorance insults humanity as a whole fox news must really have taught you a lot . what a ass

thanks for sharing me this video is very interesting to analize, both points of view.

[diane18944]

Good for them they must stick up for themselfs...it is not right ...

[justicenoapart]

We are all losing out. The amazon should be maintein by all the people of the world. One country can not destroy it belong to the world.

[linghun]

@justicenoapart So let's all fight to destroy all buildings of Manhattan and return the island to the Indians, we cannot let one country run that beatiful island forever. It has to be run by the whole world.

[DreamOfTurtles]

People need jobs. If people on the Amazon knew how to, say, work in the IT industry then they wouldn't chop wood just for cooking dinner, right?

Besides, if the US and Europe weren't huge markets for rare (=near extinct) Amazonian wood, then there wouldn't be a market for it.

But all you need to do is search YouTube for "tables" and you'll see...

[jodyrea]

Yes let us all have jobs that create markets that kill indeed .............. do not make a fire ...if a tree falls in the forest does anyone hear???????????????????

[DreamOfTurtles]

If you are worried about the Amazon, then maybe head out to your local library or furniture store or music store. Then complain about where they buy their wood from. For instance, a lot of musical instruments are made from Amazonian wood. Go to Florida, you'll see a lot of tropical birds, rare birds of paradise privately owned. US and Europe have created a market for environmental crimes and their people won't back down. They all think it's not *they* who do it. Fucking hypocrites.

[jodyrea]

We are all to blame...caught between two worlds the indigenous an the non .. no roots, capitalism, intellectualism, industrialism, ism ism ism feminism all uprisings of one form or another supply, demand hypocrites who is not I would love to live in tent but where the hell would I plug this damn computer. I think someone invented that word to use in an argument when all else fails. Is it really a bad thing or just part of what makes us all human????

[klonedklein]

They make solar sheets for your computer... anyway, you are right we are stuck. Only the few live high, while most barely survive--that is not capitalism, but communism and fascism. We do generate enough power and waste a LOT of power... Why do we feel the need to light up monuments at night.. do you have ANY idea of how much energy could be saved if we just stopped lighting up courthouses? High-rises? etc. etc. etc. WE WASTE and waste and more energy created will get wasted. Conserve.

[75cliffe]

And what about what they want? They are humans not savages and their culture deserves to stay alive!! Life is going to be the dullest when we all look act think and talk the same.

[LakotaRepublic]

Well spoken. The modern world never care about what the indians want. Never listen. Always selfish attitudes thinking they know better, as the Earth dies. Well done kola.

[nadermatrixs]

Couldn't of said it better myself..well done Kola...! Respect to you and yours.

[linghun]

@LakotaRepublic Yet the Indians are also acting in pure self-interest. And they committed genocide against other tribes in the past as well.

[linghun]

@75cliffe Yeah it will be like all the "Green" sucker commenters on youtube, a bunch of mindless enviro-drones.

[rjshmo]

They need to civilize those savages and build that damn. People can't stay in the stone age. It is not fair to them or fair to their offspring to stay in a closet in the 21st. century. Give them a college education and give them a job.

[jodyrea]

When did they did drop humanities from college calendars? I was not aware they had a Bachelor of Arts in the profanities ... from what college did you get your degree?

[jodyrea]

"Indians don't produce anything" your right about that - pollution, deforestation, destruction, despair, - let us produce until there is nothing left - build a dam - damn you! The true Lords and Ladies of the land you stand upon held sacred the land - would not be so beautiful and pristine if left up to "foreign investment" .... spit

[MasterMark123]

welcome to modernization folks. Progress can not be stopped . It is unfortunate but a way of life/ The survival of the fittest. The populations go up and consume more and more .. It can not be turned back as much as we like to believe it can. My heart goes out to the folks being displaced. to survive they will have to move into the 21st century or be swallowed up ... so sad

[jodyrea]

Listen to what you said - it is almost the same as why live if your going to die? Now I know what Bruce Hornsby was saying while singing his hit song "That's the way it is... things will never change". The epitome indeed!!!!! Do not give your heart use your head.

[jodyrea]

I am sorry MasterMark but progress has been getting many messages and it would seem we keep ignoring them. Indeed progress will what will eventually bring this planet and universe to it's knees. Indigenous populations know the warning signs and read them like book and watch the animals they know too ... if only we would listen they apparently know something we do not because as soon as man in the name of progress does his invade everythings begins to fade.. like the sunset

[7wolfs]

lets hope they dont succeed

[linghun]

@7wolfs Yes let's hope the Indians fail!

[iKnowYouSeeThis]

This will not only about 15'000 misplaced people; more importantly it will be an ENTIRE MISPLACED CULTURE!

That's not even mentioning the ecological, environmental and thus global repercussions...

[iKnowYouSeeThis]

Mundo abastecimento alimentar mergulhar, alterações climáticas, as espécies ameaçadas e culturas ... Isso não irá beneficiar a região, nem mesmo o mundo. Hydro Damn tecnologia é notícia velha, se eles fornecidos eólica e solar, então isso custará muito menos em termos de dinheiro, tempo e impacto ecológico.

The reason they don't want to supply the modern technology of wind a solar is because a Hydro Damn will lock people into buying from that one source. Another elitist ploy for a monopoly.

[linghun]

@iKnowYouSeeThis bullshit. Solar and wind are orders of magnitude more expensive.

[iKnowYouSeeThis]

@linghun R and D is expensive however technology as it is today is inexpensive both in monetary and eternal costs.

On another note, the opening derogatory comment was a conscious or unconscious tactic in distancing your own comment form it's association : "Your comment is bullshit, therefor mine is not.". However you like to qualify your opinions, mine are based in facts and the reality leans towards my views.

[calster31]

Respect to all native peoples. FIGHT!

[linghun]

@calster31 We are all natives to the Earth, no one is more native than the others. The powerplant's revenue will be used to foster their protection and safe relocation. Environmentalism is the new way the elites found to screw the common guy, using Indians as astroturfing material, etc. Wake up are you that naive do you think this anti-dam campaign is pure goodness and no intere$t?

[gravelin08]

Capitalism without concern for the wellbeing of humans and the planet is just a form of mental illness. Just think if a family member only thought about making money all the time and nothing else....Capitalism is not balanced and tends toward aggregation and monopolies.

[asperin]

It's greed not Capitalism.

Capitalism lets the greed be increased, yes.

But the problem is in the global economy not a system of free market.

[gravelin08]

Capitalism necessarily leads to global "economy". Global economy is just a misleading way of saying global capitalism. Capitalists will control and allocate resources not the people. Who would you rather have in charge of food and water? People like yourself or Rockefellers, Halliburton and Bechtel?

[asperin]

Not a state, or a government of today.

They are controlled by the criminals you just named.

Nationalized needs like water would be fair, but not other smaller industries.

The solution is not in just one system.

The priority should be the vanishing of the global elite.

Once we do so, we would be able to carry out any type of growth in this planet.

[linghun]

@gravelin08 Maybe Pol Pot then?

[BIGBLACKGLOSSYCOCK]

[oldarizona]

Yes,Amazon people are the caretakers of this world, I always will be with them

[linghun]

@oldarizona But you are not with them and never will be except in your dreamy self-aggrandizing head.

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

Indigenous people are the caretakers of this world. I support my brothers and sisters "the Indians of the Amazon". Respect them and thier land.!

[Slavesrevolt]

Exploitation plain and simple.

We need to stop our insane quest for economic growth. The economic enslavement of the planet is killing millions.

Burn the money for all the good the greed does to us.

[CodeGeronimo]

I hope it kills billions, say about 5 to 6 so nature can go ahead without being bothered by modern Humankind again.

The only people I'd like to leave earth with, are the natives for they are the real biblical keepers of our planet

[SealShepherd]

Don't burn the money, it is made of paper.

We have to recycle it.

[walkingbear56]

Those who the gods would destroy they first make mad. This is about as mad as it gets.

Pray hard for the amazon peoples

If this area goes, then the "lungs of the planet" will be not far behind.

I couldn't of said it better myself...! L&L to you and yours always..& keep shining very brightly...!

[sonofburma]

"Indians don't produce anything." - You idiots! It's their land, originally!

[linghun]

@sonofburma It's not, the current Xingu Indians arrived at the site 70 years ago and killed the local Indians and took their land.

[studio7manga]

They'd be better off developing nuclear power stations in my opinion.

[linghun]

@studio7manga finally a sensible constructive criticism. I agree. But the enviro-nuts will never allow it. We live in a Green dictatorship now.

[studio7manga]

@linghun

For a little while, wait until energy prices really skyrocket, people will be open to more options. Sadly by then it may be to late to avoid really major disruptions though. The opposition to things like hydro, nuclear and wind really astound me. Sure there's local issues to be addressed with any large scale construction, but the blanket opposition to them is pretty indefensible, especially given their alternatives.

[linghun]

@studio7manga Once again an excellent thoughtful comment. But environmentalists are on a rampage against any industrial activity. They now are saying electric cars are evil because it will require vast strip mining in Bolivia for lithium; solar panels are dirty because they will require vast mining, plastics and energy to build, etc. They will fight against anything, until we all go back to the stone age. And if its in the Amazon, their rage will be multiplied 1000 fold.

Heh, I didn't know about the electric car and solar opposition, though I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I wonder if someone suggested going back to a purely agrarian society they'd get opposition for destroying so many forests, or a hunter gather society because they were exploiting nature too much. I wouldn't put it past some environmentalists. Seems to me that a lot of people in that camp base at least part of their position on self-hatred, or misanthropy.

@studio7manga Yes it is largely an emotional phenomenon. Greens, like religious people, think they are on a holy crusade to save everyone, and iat first they will pretend they want development and progress by promoting electric cars and solar and wind, but when they notice these too will require huge strip mining and kill birds etc. they soon turn against them. Everything is unsustainable, except the death of humanity. 20 years from now they will oppose hunter gatherers for making stone tools.

Heh, I think you're right.
