The iPhone 5, which does more without costing more, is cheered for possibly lifting fourth quarter GDP growth by as much as half of a percentage point, or by $12 billion. Shale gas, which does what coal does while costing fewer dollars and fewer carbon emissions, boosted GDP by an estimated $76-118 billion in 2010 and will annually contribute an incremental $230 billion to GDP by 2035. Where are the throngs to welcome it?
According to the Public Eye Award, Vale's number one offence is over a planned dam in the Amazon that could force roughly 40, 000 locals from their homes.is the reason why Vale won this award, then I would say that it's award is well earned. As it is though, the NGOs just have to stick this in as part of the shame:
The award also mentions a prolonged strike in Sudbury, Ontario.Let's be serious here... as I've previously blogged, there's more to the Sudbury strike than just a company trying to brutalize it's workers. The facility in Sudbury doesn't make money at the current wage structure. The company thinks that it's unfair that other facilities should subsidize the operations of this one facility merely because the workers think it should happen. I question how those union workers could sleep, knowing that they are the ones forcing the company to "exploit" workers in a poorer part of the world just so that they can be paid a wage to high to sustain the operations of their facility.
