The Problem of Oil in Ecuador

[Corncrake]

A personal account of the repercussions of the arrival of Big Oil in Ecuador:

Ecuador: Amazon families split over lure of oil money

In Sani Isla, one of the most biodiverse corners of the world, the arrival of Ecuador's biggest oil firm has pitted sister against sister

While they were growing up in their remote community deep in the Ecuadorean Amazon, Blanca Tapuy and her sister Innes were inseparable.

As children, they would play together while their parents hunted monkeys and tapir with blowpipes and spears. After they married, they regularly met to drink chicha and keep up with the latest gossip as western modernity crept ever closer to their indigenous Kichwa community.

Today, however, the sisters are at loggerheads, divided by an offer from the country's biggest oil company, Petroamazonas, to start seismic surveys in their homeland of Sani Isla. Blanca declares she is willing to die to stop its advances. Innes passionately counters at community meetings that petrodollars are vital for the future prosperity of the community.

Gleem of material wealth in one sister's eye, over the natural resources and beautiful falls of Equador in the other sister's eye. Jeb Bush's drug island base of mercernaries.

Who will win out. Planet earth or the corporate rapers of resources big Oil. That's natural drinking water resources they are tampering with.

I know how I'd vote. Corporations will either destroy the falls and rivers there, or bottle the water and sell it to a low income region at high life saving prices.

I see it, if they follow Innes passionate counters.
Funny how all these years they just exported coffee and cocaine under Jeb, is he trying to bring the family business there and get legit?

Stange coincidences for the election of 2016 and yes, everything is politics to that and other elite families.
Why can't they just do the right thing on this earth, by this earth?
