Odebrecht Award for Sustainable Development Announces 2014 Finalists

still waiting for Solyndra to pan out

The only thing that ever seems to be 'sustainable' is the support for misconceived energy/environment saving schemes.

Billions of dollars get spent, then the company folds and politically connected pseudo-businessmen walk away wealthier; and/or animals die as an indirect result of the 'scheme'; or the scheme turns out to cause more pollution than it saves...; etc.

Great stuff....
