Costa Rica environment minister steps down under fire
Environment, Energy and Telecommunications Minister Roberto Dobles has resigned from his post, according to a statement issued Friday by President Oscar Arias’ office.
It’s amazing that this guy tried to get away with anything. He knows everyone is watching him, but no, he had to make special deals with a family member on the new mining concessions bill. Sometimes I think I should get into politics! !!Did I just say that? Please ignore anything that I say regarding myself and politics. Besides it’s the weekend.
More on Monday
Costa Rica and bio fuels
In one of my earlier posts I talked about bio fuels in Costa Rica. Here’s what we are working on now with the government. Go to www.biofueldynamics.com to get the lowdown, but in short this process will eliminate a huge ecology problem in major cities of the country.
The beauty of the process is that we capture everything that goes into a city’s sewage treatment plant, including all the toxic gases, and convert them into many forms of reusable bio fuels and resources. For example; solid mass is converted to both bio-diesel and fertilizer, methane gases are captured and used to power a generator for electricity and remaining mass is converted to reusable lubricants. After our system has completed all the conversions, the only thing that is released from the facility is clean water.
What do we do with all these products? We sell them on the open market, sharing the profit with the city, thus creating a revenue stream while at the same time absorbing their operating costs for the treatment plant. Oh and by the way, the facility is built for free using federal bonds.
So to put it mildly, their profits really are in the toilet!
Thanks for your interest and keep me in mind if you have any referrals to city officials, whether it be in CR or any city you think may need this.
