What would you say if Denmark were to sell a uniquely controlling share of our taxpayer-owned energy infrastructure, DONG, to Goldman Sachs? As well as our oil and gas fields in the North Sea, DONG Energy (Dansk Olie -- Danish Oil -- og Naturgas -- Natural Gas) created the worlds first large-scale offshore electric windmill farm, aimed at our nations energy self-sustainability goal, upon which all other such *farms*in the world are now modeled. DONG wants a capital injection, and is attempting to sell, with our governments nod, its shares at below their value, first to a tax-shelter concern in Luxembourg, controlled largely by the Goldman Sachs Group Though they get only a 19% share of DONG, Goldman Sachs will get an extraordinary final voting right on DONGs executive Board. It has generated a fury in Denmark, with polls indicating that upwards of 68% of our population is against our governments approval of the sale. The paradoxical thing is, our coalition government has been mostly Social-democratic (equivalent to the US Democratic Party) for the past few years, with our first woman prime minister ever. She came into power on the promise that multinationals would now no longer rule Danish agendas, on the heels of several years of a Republican-type of government, which went to war with Bush in Afghanistan and Iraq, feeding Denmarks largest corporation, Møller-Mærsk, the big container ship concern and private co-owner of our gas and oil fields in the North Sea, owner of our largest bank, largest supermarket monopoly, media industries, pension investments, etc. In other words, Maersk and Goldman Sachs are in the same old boys network of the planets 1% ownership of most of the planets resources. Every month, I pay DONG for my homes electric and gas bill. img.timeinc.net/time/daily/2008/0807/360_windmills_0731.jpg
