"There's trash in the government" pueblo tells LF.

That would be a more accurate headline.

One mans garbage is another mans treasure.

If this Brazilian expert has urged the DR gov't to take advantage of garbage, then my question begs, will the government listen?

Manana...

Well, the RD gov has not listen so far.... This opportunity is not new news. Go back and read my posts from 2007, '08 etc.

Just look at all the trash piles on the streets (Santiago, La Capital). The land dumps create a bio fuel by-product. Secondarily, the trash can be recycle before put into a landfill whereas some can be comingled in to burn in traditonal coal fired plants to produce cheaper electric power.

Like in Brazil, sugar cane can yield 5x times more biofuel than US Corn. The huge shipment of "supposedly" tainted US corn ... could have been used to produce cheaper bio fuel to run new energy efficient state run bus system. I prefer a national rail system driven by a cheap electric from a nuclear plant or use the above biofuels or bio-diesel to run gas-fired electric generation plants.

keep the trash off the streets and less in land fills. The DR should be follow the Brazilian model for energy diversity and also explore offshore for natural gas & oil.

you can never see, juanb, that just recently, .the population overwhelmingly voted for the government and that people like you can not accept the vote of el pueblo , You can continue to make all the snide remarks or all the spiteful remarks, full of bile, but the simple fact is that the governments, both nationally and locally, have all been democratically elected .
So give yourself a good break and accept how the people have voted ,,,or come up with some good positive suggestions .

Die by fire or die by freezing

That is the choice we are given at every election.

Solar, Wind now BioGas?

When will these twits wake up and realize that the People have rejected all of these forms of power generation through the free market.

Does the DR have enough money to pay for this crap?

Dominican Goverment tell the brazilian that the monopoly of selling Inversore, Diesel producer, power plant owner does not want efficiency and sheap fuel cause that cut into they brand new jeepeta, house on the beach, cheap fuel mean i have to change the way i do business, that is not welcome in the Dominican Republic

both nationally and locally, have all been democratically elected .= hohoho Lke Iran but here bought and paid for with a chicken

some one from the government must own a inversore factory in dr....there s not excuse for not having electricity in dr.

The moment somebody starts a bio-gas plant, one thousand will follow.

It's the typical "copiaditis", endemic in the DR.

If I set up a fritura today and it works, tomorrow, I'll have 5 competitors on the same corner.

DR should have done this years and years ago, But no they rather to put their trash on the streets, making their own city smelling like a pig farm and causing damage to the enviroment. Please people wake the Fu***k up, remember that, what your country can do for you, is what you can do for your country.

I agree with sunshine state, I'm from NJ and when I go to the DR to visit my inlaws, it hurts me to see all the garbage every........even at the beach people just throw bottles cans paper food anything just as long it's out of there hand........recycle help keep your land clean ,the brazillions went broke 2 3 4 times in the80's and '90's...now there one of the biggest user of biofuel in the world....surgar can is money,,more electric and fuel for cars and trucks....tell ur govtmn to listen to the experts..respect ur land and culture before others come there and take it from you.......sorry if I got long on this....just love the country and my inlaws.......american from nj married to a wonderul dominica women who loves her country......later people....first post take it easy on me.....peace

I guess I have bitten the hook.After many months of following the bashing on a daily basis of the Dominican Republic my only conclusion their are many people with out lives.Yes there serious problems here and else where in the world for that matter.I have lived in the DR for 20 years,own and run a succesful business... With the help of my 100% Dominican staff , they make a honest wage and are treated with respect.things will never change unless everyone does their part.You only get what you give!
