9. With all due respect, that's BS
Edited on Sat Apr-14-07 12:12 PM by RestoreGore
Investments in reneweable energy will do more to that end than what is being done now which is FAR from supplying "cheap" electricity or water anywhere the World Bank is involved. I suggest you do some research. Oh, and also, the contributions they are making to climate change with their policies are actually exacerbating the droughts that are killing these peoples' livelihoods and depleting their resources, which of course leave them free and clear to institute their "privitization" schemes.
