Yeah nice to see ODAC somewhere outside of Energy Bulletin.

I think all that so called globalization with cheap labour and no regulation for environment is a crock. It encourages companies to go where there is not regulations, no unions or any protection for workers or environment. Essentially encouraging a race to the bottom till everyone is a wage serf like in Dickens time with black skies and filthy rivers like in China. This is the inevitability of globalization that you hear about. The solution is to just put massive protectionist tariffs on anything exported from anywhere where any environmental damage or working conditions happen that would be unacceptable in your own country then the local jobs would be saved and the environment and working population of exporting countries would be saved from exploitation. The locust swarms of hedge funds and neoliberal ideology of globalization as the end to history lives from the myth of the inevitability of globalization and the idea that everyone will benefit from it. Nobody is benefiting from it at all. In the end we are seeing what Cerberus et al. are doing to the world. It is armageddon. Usually the idea is takeover a company and destroy it, using up the empoyees and resources and move on. then they have done that to countries. Now they have done that to the whole planet. Only this time they have no place to move on to. They die with us. Bad Karma.

Hello Bob,

The newsletter is Europe and in particular UK biased, but that is ok. The USA scene is covered very well elsewhere.
