Public Denied Access to “Energy Citizen” Big Oil Company Picnic
Disguising a company picnic as a citizen’s energy rally, private security and police barred interested citizens from entering the “astroturf” event. Even though they advertised the event as a public, grassroots rally, and even had emails sent out encouraging people to attend, not even staunch supporters of the industry’s stance on climate legislation were allowed in. The only people allowed through the doors were those with petroleum company employee badges and yellow “Energy Citizen” t-shirts that were handed out amongst the employees.

Sarroch (Cagliari) (August/November 2007, March/July 2008)
Featuring: the citizens of Sarroch, representatives of various institutions, directors of the SARAS group

Length: DV_75min
While travelling, on holiday, many people happen to pass by places like Sarroch and quickly hold their noses.
Some people may ponder on the idea of stopping by there for a short time. Getting to know women, men, youngsters, kids, pensioners.
Entering into their workplaces and staying at their homes.
Listening to the inhabitants of this place, their work and life experiences.
Whats it like to live and work here?
Living next to an industry with a strong environmental impact, which doesnt need a great number of employees (excluding maintenance work that is concentrated in certain periods of the year).
Breathing what comes out of the constant flames and chimneys for 365 days Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxide, Sulphur Dioxide, Hydrogen Sulphide emissions which have been monitored for a few years now by stations with different managers: the industry, the Municipality and ARPA, which is currently inactive as it is passing into new management at the Cagliari Provincial Office.
Since the year 2000, waste products from refineries are considered imilated sources for renewable energy sources (92/CIP 6).
The employees of the SARAS and POLIMERI EUROPA groups receive adequate training on the subject of security and safety in the workplace and theres an efficient emergency escape plan. External employees who are newly employed have two hours training directly in the workplace, depending on the task they must carry out.
For the people of Sarroch there is no safety plan with courses and evacuation drills.
In the past few years there has been a reversal of tendencies, with a return to agriculture (greenhouse farming) and the desire to re-launch the tourist industry, both of these being activities that have seen a rapid decline because of a total lack of guarantee on the quality of products.
The people of Sarroch dont ask that the refinery be closed, but ask that the health of the people inside and outside of the refinery be defended.
NOTES:
The Sarroch pole is today one of the greatest industrial areas in Europe.
Its origins lie in the development of the SARAS refinery in this area at the beginning of the 1960s, thanks to the acute intuition of Angelo Moratti, who generated growth and development in the whole territory from the construction of the plant.
The industrial boom brought considerable advantages to Sarroch and the whole area in general, such as the increase in well-being and demographic growth.
While the population had at first been dedicated to basic agriculture, after the construction of the refinery the relationship between agricultural workers and industrial workers was decidedly inverted over time.
The Sarroch industrial agglomerate extends over a surface area of 734,56 hectares, of which 90% is occupied by the SARAS oil refinery and other petro-chemical and service companies correlated to it.
The oil establishment was founded at the beginning of the 1970s as SARAS Chimica with the participation of SARAS, Eni and Montedison, and then became Enichem (an Eni group company) and changed its name to Nurachem; it changed names various times over the years and from 2002 it became a part of another Eni company, POLIMERI EUROPA, one of the largest existing chemical companies.
In the year 2000 the IGCC plant was inaugurated (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle), managed by SARLUX and controlled by SARAS, getting rid of waste products from the Saras refinery and using them for the production of electricity that is then sold on to the GSE (Electricity company).
The plant receives State funds (92/CIP 6).
The waste products from the refinery are considered to be imilated sources for renewable energy sources.
Air Liquide is a company that provides liquid oxygen used in the SARLUX gasification plants.
Many small companies have sprung up around these four industrial companies that deal with construction and maintenance of the machinery and plants or other parallel services.
Sarroch Municipality surface area: 67,9 square kilometres.
Inhabitants: 5.240

GLOBAL 3000 | Oil Rush in Canada – A boom and its consequences
Alberta is a province in Western Canada. The Rocky Mountains cross the territory, which has a number of national parks. But it is also home to an industry which is starting to exploit huge mineral deposits…the oil sands, Canada’s most important source of petroleum.
A third of the world’s oil sands are located here. But the mining of the substance is causing massive environmental destruction. And extracting crude oil from sand is very energy intensive. The emissions of CO2 are three times as high as with standard methods of oil extraction.
The oil sands industry is the largest single source of greenhouse gasses in Canada and the quantity of emissions is set to rise as the industry expands.
Because the thirst for oil is so great in the neighbouring US, Canada will hardly be able to meet its Kyoto protocol commitments.

A Place for the U.S.? – Flynt Leverett
Leverett, senior fellow at The New America Foundation, argued that control of commodities and scarce energy reserves will be the defining paradigm in the global economy for years to come. Increased energy demand throughout the developing world and a tight supply have created a structural shift in global energy markets that has rendered past boom-bust cycles obsolete for the foreseeable future. One notable structural shift constraining supply is that 80% of oil reserves are owned by governments as opposed to multinational private corporations. As a result, market forces do not play a role in inducing additional productive capacity.
He also pointed to institutions and relationships that have accompanied the growth of the World Without the West. Multilateral institutions such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization have begun to compete with traditional multilateral organizations for regional influence. These developments are part of the larger phenomenon of the developing world soft balancing U.S. power.

VideoRay hull inspection lyyn compare
A pretty good video of what can go wrong on a ship. The vessel had just come out of drydock and was mooring up to a pier. An oil containment boom got caught in its starboard propeller and caused some pretty nasty damage. In video #1 youll notice as I start flying forward of the ship there is the foam material inside its keel cooler and all along the hull. Thats the material that is used to keep the oil containment boom afloat in those square modules you see. So now they have to hire divers to remove the oil boom from their propeller, pick out the foam from around their keel cooler and probably go back into drydock to fix their propeller and shaft

Why don’t we uncap our domestic , privately owned oil wells here in the States and refine our own crude?
People I know have had to stop pumping because the equipment used to pump the oil out of the ground is worth more in scrap. Yet we pay high prices for foreign oil.
US Oil Companies are waiting for the price to get high enough that the people will pay anything to get oil/fuel.
Big oil is the same as Big Railroads of the 1880-90’s, Greed driven and profit sustained. Screw the public.
