Bueno, Bueno,, I been “Danzing” trough the good and evil these days, News (Caracol Tv) here in Bogotá present as if U.S President “Bush” is trying to make a good deal for his country,, perhaps will be if you look it under the “simple” “economic” old fashioned” Imperialistic or colonialist way –exploitation and then leave whit any thing to return to the land and people but explotaiton only, in which Latin-American have been submerge for the many centuries, the worst part is that some people in our Latino American countries still having second thoughts and not understating the whole implications of focused the FUEL production just in one commoditie or commodities that are by the way - vital for a our peoples feed, then this news network "Caracol Tv" as an example of its total lack of understanding of the situation and not having a clue of what is sustainability, tried to make an analogy between the good deal of Bush “mistaken move” in Brazil whit EU´s yesterday decision for adopting renewable and a set of sustainable measures to being energy efficient , to reduce the GHG , oil dependency but here is not due the security aspects but for a much priority reasons that concern’s our own life in this planet “a real and proven climate change” , TOTALLY DIFERENT MOVES!,
Anyway, I remember that the first thing they present to us on the Master leadership towards sustainability was that there is not just one magic solution and to depend on just one can be a major STRATEGIC mistake, even if the Security factor which is being U.S major driver and motivation factor for finished their old nasty oil dependency, they must understand that there is not just a matter of adopting only ethanol for their vehicles, is a little more complex than that , the consequences if Brazil or the rest of Latino America adopt the “white house” policy of producing the fuel for the U.S demand just of one renewable product such as the ethanol, will be catastrophic as the price of basic commodities will sky rocket high, the economic growth yes may be up for a short while and, then , when this has comes, the curve will dramatically come down and this time wont be recourses and the cost will be; most of our still rich forest that we had our rich biodiversity was long go away, the commodities,, well ,, buying sugar will be a luxury ,, tortillas wont be mass produced any no more because of the high price of the raw materials, ,land will be concentrate just in a few hands, more social unrest, more un equilibrium on the already pretty much divided Latin America, etc. etc, all of this for having the vey limited thinking of just thinking in one and only one solution for the Oil problem and what bader me the most, is that the U.S still rejecting the fact of Climate change,, here there is a slang that says; “there is not a worst blind that those blinds that doesn’t wanna see “, I have always criticized President of Venezuela-Hugo Chavez, but I have confess that in many occasions like the last days this guy makes good commentaries and open the eyes of many on this part of the world but showing that the solution for a sustainable world , a cleaner world or “Oil dependency” as the U.S is focused on need more deeper analyses and strategic one, sustainable strategic decisions that requires system understanding of the problem. To be continued ...(Out of focus...IV,V..etc)
