At the moment the vast majority of countries in the world are ignoring their responsibilities out of a pure desperation to avoid the global downturn. Fear of the unknown is turning what could be a great opportunity to spark a revolution in the way we live our lives into the stumbling block that will slow advancement. It’s certainly an interesting debate.

We never stated that President Lula was not concerned with the environment; our point was only about the new energy matrix that does indeed favor the increase of thermal plants based on oil and coal and basically ignores potential renewable energy sources, such as wind and sun, which is quite unfortunate considering the moment we are living through. Regarding the use of alcohol as a proof of Lula´s concern with the environment, I´d have to disagree with that for several reasons. First because alcohol started being produced in the 1970s and has nothing to do with Lula; second because its production stemmed out of an economic need (and patriotism), not an environmental one; and third because the use of ethanol in Brazil to this day is much more due to economic reasons than environmental concerns. Now, when you say that the text is very different from the original source, you are correct. This text was compiled from several different sources of information and only one of them was linked to the site. If you want, we can send you some other links with the info, all in Portuguese.
