The paper completely ignores the fact that the Brazilian project is dependent upon virtual slave labor to make it "cost-effective." The whole concept of "bio-fuels" is retrogressive. Like many policies being promoted by "green" NGOs, it is designed to keep Third World countries backward and desperate, deny them self-sufficiency and real sovereignty, and keep them forever as a reserve of cheap labor and cheap raw materials.

It is interesting to note that the PPP government try to start a bio-fuel program with the help from a well known Guyanese scientist in Canada, but after a few failed starts, the person frustrated in dealing with the GOG, is back in Canada and the taxpayers money in millions, is down the drain.
It is no wonder PPP supporters will know more what happen in rumshops, than what happen with bio-fuels.

I think all this paradigm shifting tends to be more beneficial to the colonial powers. Guyana should stop trying to please Europe and the US. Developing nations nowadays are getting a far better deal from China.

please provide some evidence that they use slave labour in Brazil. Castro said bio-fuels are retrogressive. it does not mean he is right

The 1979 findings were a warning. I would say that the 2007 raid by Brazil's Anti-Slavery Police is a confirmation of that warning.

Mr Super Mike,

It is this mentality which makes Guyana a donkey cart economy.

Mr Super Mike,

I think it is highly ironic that you should be talking about "donkey cart economy" at the same time you and the AFC are advocating bio-fuels. If Guyana wants to become a developed country, we need to harness hydro-electric power and join ARKAL.

Mr Henry,

My reading from the AFC's action plan is they have renewable energy strategy. they have a 'portfolio' of renewable energy sources. hydro, ethnaol, bio diesel from coconut and electricity from coconut shells/wastes and bagasse. you read it. hydro is part of the programme.

The AFC proposes the following policies as part of a renewable energy economic package. The AFC believes that energy needs should be met with a portfolio of renewable energy sources and not a single energy source.

1. AFC proposes a Renewable Energy Industrial Expansion Act (REIEA). This Act would mandate specifically that Guyana move immediately to an ethanol blend of 10% by 2013 and a hydrous E15 blend by 2015;

2. The Demerara Sugar Estates and the West Berbice Sugar Estates would shift mainly to ethanol that could be made immediately from sugar and molasses. Other higher yielding feedstock would eventually be used;

3. Foreign investors will be brought in to develop other ethanol feedstock for the purpose of export;

4. As part of the REIEA, all bagasse (whether from sugar or ethanol) would be bought up by private investors to convert bagasse into electrical energy. For instance, bagasse from the Uitvlugt and Wales Sugar Estates
would be used to generate electricity right at home in Region 3. This localisation would also utilise the existing national grid system;

5. It is a well known fact that the hydroelectricity capacity in Guyana is enormous. However, the country is yet to exploit this opportunity in a realistic manner. A major reason for failing to exploit our hydroelectricity capacity could be the small size of current domestic demand and the limited focus on manufacturing and agro-industrial processing. In this regard, the AFC proposes
that hydroelectricity should be coupled with
alumina production for Region 10. In this way, tremendous value would be added to Guyana’s bauxite and immediate demand is created for electricity. The various hydroelectric plants could also claim carbon credits should this global market take off;

6. The AFC plans to explore the possibility of developing hydroelectric power for export to Brazil and Venezuela;

7. The AFC proposes the use of wind and solar energies;

8. The AFC proposes a National Bio-Diesel Policy which can revitalise the coconut industry and bring larger acreage under cultivation.

GO AFC

VOTE FOR THE KEY

Hydro is the only part of the programme that is appropriate for a modern and sovereign nation.

The PPP is interested in feeding, housing and clothing the nation. We cannot allow foreign governments to dictate our policies that would benifit them.
