It is very interesting to see how GE has benefitted from the US's war on terror. 90 percent of GE's nuclear power plants could discharge radiation into the atmosphere. It is responsible for polluting 78 Superfund sites, and is pushing the government to overturn Superfund legislation. Fraud and poor safety for workers are also issues. Why don't we see this on the ecomagination commercials?

Second largest chemical manufacturer in the world, and largest producer of plastics. Responsible for 20,000 deaths in the Bhopal disaster in India, was the sole supplier of napalm to the US in the Vietnam War, and manufactured Agent Orange. The Human Element indeed.

I'm tagging this to illustrate bias in writing. This is mentioned by Mickelthwait and Wooldridge (2003) with an off-handed remark on page 177, mocking those who criticize Shell's actions in Nigeria as "they did not go around overthrowing governments."

Article that was written in response to Jeffrey Sachs "The End of Poverty". This article, like that of Easterly's, states that what is needed is a new model of poverty solution, His suggestion is that government's role should not be of manager or director of change, but rather just a catalyst for change. Also the author believes there needs to be a focus on farming, and incentives, loans, and tax breaks to help build rural areas.

Industrialised nations are responsible for the bulk of greenhouse gas emissions - both today and historically. In the past, economic progress was linked directly to carbon dioxide emissions (via the burning of oil, coal and gas to generate energy). Renewable energy sources change this, but only a small number of nations have begun to implement them in earnest.

Two billion people – one third of the world's population – have no access to electricity for basic needs such as lighting or cooking. Getting people the clean and reliable energy necessary for essential needs such as clean water, health care facilities, heating and lighting is one of the most pressing problems facing humanity today.

Industrialised nations have the capital, resources and expertise to jump-start their renewable energy industries. Obviously, countries with advanced space programs, established higher educational systems and abundant cash for investment are better positioned to implement these new energy technologies then countries still struggling with basic energy needs.
