Tiquipaya, Bolivia, 20 de abril. El presidente boliviano, Evo Morales, al reiterar sus críticas a los transgénicos e insuflados a base de hormonas sintéticas y químicos, aseveró hoy que el uso de éstos provoca aceleraciones irregulares en las mujeres al comenzar su adolescencia, calvicie, y en el sector masculino, desviaciones en su ser como hombres, además de recomendar beber chicha de maíz en lugar de Coca Cola, durante la inauguración de la primera Conferencia Mundial de los Pueblos sobre el Cambio Climático y los Derechos de la Madre Tierra ante delegaciones de 129 países de los cinco continentes.

El pollo que comemos está cargado de hormonas femeninas, por eso cuando los hombres lo comen tienen desviaciones en su ser como hombre, sostuvo Morales en su discurso de cerca de un ahora, de acuerdo con la estatal Agencia Bolivariana de Información (ABI).

Al referirse a la calvicie, indicó que ésta se puede observar más en Europa.La calvicie, que parece normal, es una enfermedad en Europa, donde casi todos son calvos, y ello es por las cosas que comen, mientras que en los pueblos indígenas no hay calvos, porque nuestra alimentación es diferente, explicó.

Anécdota sobre la Coca Cola

"Les cuento una anécdota sobre la Coca Cola, que todos tomamos, lamentablemente: cuando se tapa el inodoro, ¿qué es lo que hacemos?: llamar al plomero, al experto, sin embargo, éste con sus herramientas no puede resolver el problema, y nos pide: 'dame cinco bolivianos'. ¿Para qué?, para comprar Coca Cola, la vierte, pasan minutos, y queda destapado el baño", describió.

ABI refirió que luego de representar, por momentos en tono de broma, las enfermedades que provoca la ingestión de alimentos manipulados genéticamente, Morales pidió rectificar los usos culturales y sujetarlos a los saberes ancestrales de los pueblos originarios del planeta.

"Estamos reunidos aquí para recuperar, revalorizar la vivencia de los movimientos sociales del mundo, pero especialmente el movimiento indígena originario como una verdadera alternativa a los modelos de desarrollo. Como vengo de este sector importante quiero aprovechar la vivencia de nuestros antepasados, la experiencia sobre la vida, la tierra, más conocida en Bolivia como pachamama, o por los científicos, historiadores, sociólogos, antropólogos: el planeta Tierra", afirmó.

Abogó por la construcción de unsocialismo comunitario en armonía con la tierra, y sostuvo: El nuevo sistema socialista comunitario eliminará toda forma de colonialismo, imperialismo y asegurará la paz entre los pueblos y con la madre tierra. Subrayó que capitalismo es sinónimo de inanición, desigualdad y destrucción, por lo que planteó: o muere el capitalismo o muere la Tierra.

Cambiar el modelo capitalista y no el clima para salvar el planeta y con él la vida, fue la consigna del anfitrión aymara al hablar en Tiquipaya, vecino de Cochabamba, en el corazón de Bolivia, donde se congregan más de 20 mil personas para debatir durante tres días en representación de pueblos indígenas, movimientos sociales y delegaciones gubernamentales.

El mandatario boliviano señaló que si en la conferencia sobre el cambio climático de Copenhague que se realizó en diciembre del año pasado, los países desarrollados hubieran cumplido sus compromisos de reducción de emisiones de gases de invernadero como lo exige el Protocolo de Kioto para disminuir el calentamiento global,esta conferencia no se habría realizado.

Morales resaltó que los resultados de este encuentro deberían ser tomados en cuenta y respetados en la próxima conferencia sobre cambio climático de la ONU, a realizarse en México en noviembre. En ese tenor, llamó a los pueblos del mundo a organizarse para salvar al planeta, a gestar un gran movimiento intercontinental en defensa de los derechos de la madre tierra.

En paralelo se realizó un ritual ancestral de la pachamama, precedido por el canto de la ministra boliviana de Cultura, Zulma Yugar.

Entre los objetivos de esta conferencia mundial, dividida en 17 mesas de diálogo y discusión, están las siguientes: profundizar el tema del Protocolo de Kioto –sobre gases invernadero–, creación de un Tribunal de Justicia Climática, llevar a cabo un referéndum mundial encaminado a frenar el calentamiento global y la formación de una organización paralela a la ONU sobre estos temas.

La conferencia no estuvo exenta de incidentes. Una lluvia de abucheos y rechiflas provocó entre los delegados el mensaje enviado por el secretario general de la ONU, Ban Ki-moon, que fue leído por la mexicana Alicia Bárcena, en rechazo al papel que ha desempeñado ese organismo frente al cambio climático en el mundo.

Bárcena, secretaria ejecutiva de la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (Cepal), agradeció a Morales la organización de esta conferencia. Aseveró que la ONU va a escuchar a todos los pueblos que tanto tienen que enseñar sobre la vida en armonía con la naturaleza, a lo que el público replicó con gritos dementirosa, vete, por lo que tuvo que acortar su mensaje.

CapitolDC's Walk-Walkers
In a town of Talk-Talk, here are 10 who walk the walk for bioenergy, renewables


In Washington, a group of Midwestern senators, headlined by Charles Grassley of Iowa and Kent Conrad of North Dakota, just introduced a Senate bill supporting the extension of the ethanol blender tax credit, as well as the ethanol tariff.

It raises the question, who are walk-walkers in the US government - who "walk the walk, not just talk the talk" on renewables and bioenergy.

A cursory survey of 435 congressional and 100 Senatorial websites will find the talk on for energy independence is tough and universal, but not always reflected in action and votes. Out of the 535 talk-talkers in Congress (and a lot more in the executive branch), here are some walk-walkers of note.

1. President Barack Obama. Republicans sense opportunity in the fall, but despite pressure from environmentalists to dump (and dump on) biofuels, be in no doubt - when biofuels received a huge expansion of R&D and commercialization support via the Recovery Act despite the "food vs fuel" theatrics of 2008/09, "No drama Obama" was driving policy.

2. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack.Though Digest readers voted Secretary of Energy Steven Chu ahead of the Agriculture Secretary, Vilsack has been quietly assuming the lead on bioenergy development as part of the USDA's mission to promote rural economic development, as well as develop new markets for US farm products, The USDA has assumed the responsibility for moving the biofuels industry from the R&D stage to commercialization, and three new programs announced by the Secretary this week are proof positive that the USDA is on the move.

Producer News

In New York
, the Codexis IPO prices today, and the CDXS stock will commence trading tomorrow when NASDAQ opens. It's the most widely-anticipated IPO - in fact the only bioenergy IPO - in a month of Sundays. What have we learned?  1. The stock, according to well-placed Digest sources, is doing "very well", and expectations may well be for a strong open on Thursday. 2. Seven other IPOs hit the market this week - so watch out, day traders, the initial market may well be tapped in terms of absorbing the new equities and a short-term price dip may be experienced. More on lessons learned at biofuelsdigest.com.

"When in doubt, we go to the experts, who allegedly know more than we do," writes Dr. Rosalie Lober in a column on Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, "The Future's Not Ours To See...Que Sera, Sera." In the next few columns, we will learn about the man who President Obama determined as the U.S. global representative, at a time when energy policy is perhaps more critical for the world's sustainability than ever before."

Biofuels Bits:In California,Pacific Ethanol announced that it has filed an amended restructuring plan, which would transfer ownership of the company's four ethanol plants to a new company, New PEH. Also in California, AE Biofuels reports that it is on track to commence production of cellulosic ethanol in 2011at the former Cilion corn ethanol plant in Sacramento.

World Opinion

Patrick Westhoff, in the New York Times:"Even though China is self-sufficient in many major food commodities today, it has been a major player in world markets in the past, and will be again in the future. In the case of corn, for example, China has sometimes been the second leading exporter in the world, but it has occasionally also been a significant importer. Just the rumor of potential Chinese corn imports can send prices in futures markets soaring."

From AFP: "The US Department of Defense accounts for 80 percent of the US government's total energy consumptionenergy needs, and most of the energy it uses currently comes from fossil fuels, the report by the Pew Research think tank's Project on National Security, Energy and Climate says...The navy has set itself a key goal of getting 50 percent of fuel used ashore and afloat from non-fossil sources by 2020.
International News

In Honduras, the Agroipsa Farm in Choluteca has deployed the BEI Jatropha Wave Harvester,a mechanical harvesting system for jatropha which has successfully completed an eight-month trial of the system, according to BEI International, the harvester's manufacturer. the system was used for mechanical harvest of a 550 hectare plantation of three-year old jatriopha.

In Namibia, a report on LL Biofuels Namibia said that the company has secured rights to plant jatrophaon as much as 300,000 hectares controlled by the Caprivi Regional Council and the Namibia Development Corporation, and said it would proceed to develop as much as 20,000 hectares in the first phase of development. The group, backed by Israeli investor Lev Leviev.

In Tanzania, a statement issued by an EU delegation in Dar es Salaam, criticizing an ActionAid studyon the impact of biofuels production as "substantially flawed," has prompted a swift rebuke from ActionAid. The NGO continues to state that the acquisition of prime land by European companies in Tanzania for biofuels cultivation violates a national Tanzanian policy that biofuels should only be cultivated on marginal lands.
Research News

In Michigan, researchers at the University of Michigan are investigating a recipe to pressure-cook algaeat 300 degrees for 30 minutes, and thereby break down oils, proteins and carbohydrates into a bio-oil, which can be upgraded into fuel. The $2 million project, funded by the National Science Foundation under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, is aimed at producing acceptable fuel yields from low-oil content algae strains, as well as eliminating the need for water extraction in algal fuel production.
Camelina Aviation Biofuels Study

Policy and Policymakers

In Washington, Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa and Senator Kent Conrad of North Dakota are co-sponsors of a Senate billto extend ethanol tax credits through 2015, with no change in support levels. Blender credits would be set at $0.45 per gallon for corn ethanol, $0.10 as an added small ethanol producers credit, and $1.01 per gallon. The ethanol tariff would also be extended for five years. All of the credits are scheduled to expire December 31st.
