Desalination, Veolia, the World Bank and Water Issues
Agent Mullman posted a blog about a desalination project in Australia. Part of that blog mentioned that the project is run by a French company named Veolia. For the blog see
http://www.urgentevoke.com/profiles/blogs/learn4-kurnell-desalinati...
This company is amazingly large in its international scope. A random sample of the almost 2 million hits turned up by a search on its name will give some idea of its size. See
http://www.google.com/search?q=veolia&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&...
Veolia also has some interesting connections to the World Bank which you can also sample at

There are also the issues of water privatization connected to Veolia. See

The World Bank also comes in for criticism on questions of its connections to water privatization. See

Nothing at the scope of the EVOKE challenge is ever simple and direct. Surprises everywhere.

Thanks Eugene. You're right. It's important we get stuff right. We want to see justice, not create worse injustice.

a.v. koshy's question is very interesting. I may even answer it in the near future as another blog.

I suggest that everyone do an EVOKE search with the term Citizen X. Lots of good material has been posted which will be more informative to all than anything I might say about one specific blog. At least until I have found the time and energy to read more than a few of them.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
