I guess we can expect the usual massed demonstrations on the Chilean streets protesting about oil and coal pollution, contamination and despoilation, just like we got with the (clean-energy) hydroelectric dam demonstrations.
I wonder just how Chile will be allowed by its people to develop a near-zero-carbon energy economy if the key developments are polluting oil and coal.

Perhaps, just perhaps, the hydro-demonstrations on the streets were just political anti-Government organised insurrection.
