[quote=aegap].. Dominican government should be somewhat commended for apperently going all out....QUOTE]
All out? more like all out to expand the opportunity to profit from this disaster. The day after announcing that the DR government will sue AES corp in a US court, the Ministry of Environment announced it will burn the stuff locally at a cost of US$1 million (or RD$50 million, according to other sources). What happened to our avid journalist? always ready to ask the compulsory questions, and inform the restless public? Will the Ministry of the Environment conduct the necessary environmental impact studies on San Pedro de Macorís, and Palenque, San Cristobal, where the rock ash will be burned in a recently built Japanese cement plant? Why wasen't the rock ash burned in origin (
PR) in the first place? There are many other questions...
