Superbes !!!!!!!

Bons clichés témoins !!

gut!

Imprenable...

It makes me wonder why we spend vast sums on pollution control when other countries don't give a -------
UK news:- Britains record coal-free run is over after 67days 22 hours and 55 minutes following a coal unit running tests after essential maintenance. This had been the longest run since 1882

Because we (better: the multinational enterprises with billions of profit each year and millions of bonuses for their managers) are easily able to afford the measures for pollution control, and it's good for us and the future of our children, if we do so. For many "poor" countries over the whole world it's much more difficult, even more if massive US-sanctions opress the country since 60 years. And "our" multinational companies don't give a s... too, if they operate their factories in these poor Third World countries. Only profit counts at the end, in our world. One of the nickel plants here in Moa is a joint venture with the canadian company Sherritt International, by the way.
Thank you Peter!

Da bin ich ganz Deiner Meinung.

And if we would take that amount of money and invest in poor coutnries on pollution reducing the effect on global emissions would be much higher - but why aren't we reasonable?

Wonderful industrial image, but what a pollution !!

Yes there is a lot of pollution, but most of the red dust is natural, coming from the ferrous earth.

plus que la poussière rouge, c 'est la couleur jaune de la cheminée qui m' inquiète :-)

suis d'accord ... méga burk

I suspect those chimney's belching out god knows what, is the reason they don't like photos being taken of the factory!

Even if people understand the reason why (as you have eloquently explained in your reply to Peter (above)), it still doesn't make for good PR :-(

This is exactly the reason. They are always afraid to have bad PR especially in the states, where several websites and "journalists" are only working for bashing Cuba, the regime and the living conditions. Since 60 years.

So wie früher bei uns im Ruhrgebiet :(

Na ja, Wasserdampf sieht anders aus.
