<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Monsanto purchased a Brazilian sugarcane ethanol company for $290 million]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by amazingdrx http://www.grist.org/article/feed-a-company-starve-a-country/ Tue, 11 Nov 2008 01:08:32 -0800 http://www.grist.org/article/feed-a-company-starve-a-country/1 Job/capital outsourcing

The flight of capital and jobs continues, with tax breaks for each job lost.  Not to mention that schemes like this are ridiculous from an economic and environmental perspective.

A wholesale replacement of board rooms and executives in US corporations is necessary.  The scum have risen to the top in the cesspool of corruption created by corporate lobbyist run government.

A new administration is great!  But corporate culture must be turned over too.  We need real leadership, put these current corporats out to pasture in country club prisons for the convictable, and mcmansions for the rest.  We just can't afford incompetent leaders anymore, the problems we face are too serious.

This is already happening as european wind companies and japanese auto companies invest here in the US.  But do we have to watch the destruction of US companies with no recourse?  Replace the leadership and US companies could be saved.

Monsanto may soon become the next Exxon of biofuels.

The Amazon is going under the plow thanks to genetically modified soybeans, which have greatly increased the amount of soybeans available even with American farmers planting corn in place of soybeans. What a complicated mess.

In the end, it all comes down to biodiversity. Poison Darts--Protecting the biodiversity of our world

Biodiversivist, you know that the Science article you refer to has been thoroughly debunked. It's totally fake and has discredited Science as an institution. Nice try, though.

Let's now focus on the wind and solar power industry and the role these have played in killing 5 million Congolese and in destroying the rainforest there, which is an 'indirect' effect of these wars which are about the minerals and metals used by the wind and solar industries...

Science, having been discredited as an institution by biofuel proponents, has taken to  printing fake articles just like the Onion.

Jonas-  Thank you for your comments and especially for reminding us of the way that many of our advancements adversely affect other countries and people.  

I am curious though about your comments regarding Science magazine.  Please elaborate and provide some evidence and links for everyone who is interested in seeing what you are talking about.

Thanks
