Björk Gudmunsdottir i Navigi - fyrri hlut. 9 november 2010. Magma Energy under threat after Björk-line interview
Magma Energy's CEO Ross Beaty is willing to sell 25 percent of the hurricane heading to Icelandic interests. He also recently threatened to sue a Canadian newspaper after Birch commented on his business in an interview.

Magma Energy made $ 13,400,000 in profit over the past quarter. At a press conference said that Ross Beaty, according to Reuters to be prepared to sell a record in HS Hurricanes to Icelandic interests. It would be a way for Magma Energy to "help the government" and implied "political noise": "The Principle we're ARE going in on in this discussion is to Divesta a minority stake, Meaning 10 or 20 or 25 Percent. ... Our Principle Will Be That we seek neither to make a profit on a transaction nor a loss. "

Birch has for a long time criticizing both Ross Beaty and the decision to sell HS hurricane, Iceland's third largest energy company, and usage rights to geothermal energy sources in southwest Iceland for up to 130 years. Nefnd um Erlend fjárfestingu have estimated that the sale is not prohibited by the law. The legality of the deal has been evaluated several times since Magma Energy is a Canadian company, and thus has no right to buy shares in an energy company. In order to circumvent the law created the Magma Energy a Swedish subsidiary whose sole business is to manage the shares of HS hurricane.

War of words between Ross Beaty and Birch has at times been very bitter. In addition to concerns about Magma Energy's plans are also many rumors that the Icelandic businessmen involved in the crash have been quietly key roles within the company.

In an interview in Macleans accused Birch Ross Beaty to the Americas have violated human rights and trade union rights in connection with mining projects. Ross Beaty denied the information and threatened to sue the newspaper that chose to apologize and remove the interview from the network.

Birch did not, however. In a press statement she told of the details of environmental degradation and lack of respect for the rights of workers. It sure does not Macleans, who claimed to have a conviction or the like to be able to publish the data without risking a lawsuit.

Ross Beaty has told the media to be misunderstood and unfairly treated. He also paid a heavy price for HS hurricane. The arguments have hardly improved his standing among the opponents of the sale. With the mood threat, it seems that Ross Beaty has now given up hope of being able to convince Birch and tens of thousands of Icelanders about the validity of the sale of HS Hurricanes to Magma Energy.

  • Such a lovely language:)

    

  • @eximago

    Latin words abound in English, and not those absorbed through our language's exposure to Norman. These words are not restricted to scientific or religious terms... Indeed, Latin words comprise a same proportion of English words as do French ones. Add to this mix words of Greek origin and so forth, and there are more loanwords in English than native ones.

  • @agulekyoh that's just stupid. Bjork is one of the few artist in the business today who seems to age with dignity. Same goes for her music, she is not doing music about being 20 or anything like that anymore. And she doesnt have to, her talent is her music, everything else is just a pleasurable bonus for the eye and mind.

  • Bjork ,Flott hja ther, -Lengi lifi FULLVELDI ISLANDS ...... GB

  • Women don't become sexy until 40, so hopefully I'll become sexy pretty soon... Until then, I will keep hanging out on these Bjork sites...

  • She is 45 and she still sounds like a child. She's so unique!

  • @Fueledbychapstick That's because "yeah" and "okay" is almost universal.
