Vattenfall = evil

well, you wished for politics ....


WE ALL HAVE A RESPONSABILITY TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE. That's written on several places on the different official pages of Vattenfall. Vattenfall is working hard to launch its climate profile. And has just gotten a nomination from the swedish green party mp as the lobyist of the year. ;)

Actually the company did invest a billion crowns in renewable energi in the Nordic countries in 2007. The problem is that in Germany and Poland, where the company also is active, the number of crowns invested in renewables where zero. Not only that, the company has just bought three new fields of lignite (brunkol) in Germany and is planning to keep mining there until 2030. This is taking responsability for climate change? Lignite is, corbon dioxidewise, the worst of the fossil fuels, producing nearly three times more CO2 than natural gas.

Vattenfall's actions in the Brandenburger region in Germany has also had a great impact on the lives of the poeple who live there. So far, about 80 villages has been abandoned because of Vattenfall's mining. 200 000 custumers in Germany have left Vattenfall because of their reprehensible actions. Now, this is a company that's owned by the swedish governement, that is, by us. In Germany it is also a representative of Sweden, feel their doing a good job?

Vattenfall is yearly releasing as much CO2, as the whole swedish population. Only the carbon power plant Jänschwalde is releasing 24,7 million tons CO2 a year. That is the worst in Europe and the seventh worst in the world. As I said, this is a swedish company so we might actually of a small chance to influence. Let the word of Vattenfall's evil be spread across the country!
