Those stupid fool enviromental gangs have never asked the Magallanes inhabitatnts, less the Isla Riesco inhabitants, if they are OK or not with the project, as others as did with the result of all of them in the Island and the most in the Region are happy to have a new project that mean works and resources for us considering that it don´t mean any risk for the enviroment like other coal projects working right now and some closed.
The country is needing to double it energy capacity within a decade, we have not natural gas and oil enough to do it and the hydroelectric projects means years to be in work (and are rejected too by the foolish gangs) and the “alternatives” energies are not enough to acomplish with the needs, so we have to use what we have as energy resource in hughe ammount.....coal !!!
Sara Larrain and her muppets is living in Santiago where the polution is the highest in Chile, and she drives a car, use all the electrodomestic devices, etc., but she is accusing other for the poluted air.....
We, the Patagonian inhabitants are very interested that this project go ahead and soon we can have a lot of jobs and incomes for the local goverments that help to improve our life here.
