<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Critics say Peru pipeline is an accident waiting to happen]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Japhet http://www.grist.org/article/hearn4/ Thu, 27 Apr 2006 06:32:09 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/hearn4/1 It's been going on....

...for a long time.

We worked on pressuring funds for the project (through Citigroup) to be diverted. Our campaign against Citi was succussful and they did pull out of the Urubamba but other banks and funders stayed in making it possible for the project to go forward.

Whats hard to imagine is that these types of projects are springin up all over the world. Checkout the world's largest (and most disruptive) natural gas project being installed on the island of Sakhalin where breeding grounds for the last remaining gray whales are severely threatened by drilling and pipeline creation.  Organized and run by Shell Petroleum, its shaping up to be one of the most intensive natural gas sites on the planet. Never a good thing for the local people or eco-system.
