Rein Lang, paremal. Ja teine mees, mustade prillide taga, peaks olema Teabeameti juht Tarmo Türkson.
Pildi autor on Virgo Kruve (kes saatis pildi ja teatas, et Lang ei karjunud tema peale seekord: kas tahad vangi sattuda!), tehtud möödunud aasta 12. juunil Vabaduse platsil Tallinna linnavalitsuse maja ees.
Te vaid vaadake Langi kehakeelt, kaks kätt ülbelt taskus näitab, et Türkson on täiega tema kontrolli all. Türkson ilmselt annab aru, kuidas on riigis lood luure- ja vastuluuretegevusega. Rein Langi alias molekuli näost ei loe just välja, kas ta on kuulduga rahul või mitte. Aga nüüd, kus opositsiooni kontorites on toimunud eri läbiotsimised, on ilmselt põhjust rahuloluks. Ka Eestis on loodud Putini-stiilis riik.
Ai-ai. Tegelt peaks hoopis Lang Türksonile aru andma, põhjuseid on jalaga segada.
Türkson võiks vahelduseks lasta uurida näiteks seda, kuidas Lang sai mitu miljonit krooni selle eest, et aitas vahendada transiidiärimeestele Sergei Glinkale ja Maksim Liksutovile Eesti kodakondsust. Raha vahendajaks oli Hanno Pevkur, praegune sotsiaalminister.
Samuti võiks Türkson lasta uurida reformierakondlaste maadevahetuse tehinguid, millest on kirjutanud Eesti Ekspress. Ning seda, kuidas Reformi poliitikud said poolteist miljonit eurot altkäemaksu raudtee tagasiostu otsuse eest. Ka sellest on suures ajakirjanduses kirjutatud.

Minu küsimus teile. Kas Eesti on riik? Rahvast sh kodanikke on siin vähem kui Peterburi ühes linnaosas asukaid. Mu arvates saab juttu olla vaid kvaasiriigist ...
Mis asi on Teabeamet???
Te rasvunud ministrid võiksite oma perssed maast lahti kiskuda ja kärpida oma kõhtu,sügada ajukurdusid,ning võtta eeskuju Iiri ministritest...

Green light at the end of the tunnel.
Minister Eamon Ryan explains to Nicole Matthews how Ireland can become a Silicon Valley of green energy and the current moves to embrance the profound shift away from an oil-based economy.
If Ireland were a colour,it would be green,a historical association that goes far back.But thinking of Ireland as green has never held more resonance than today.For many,the oportunities for Ireland to leverage its natural resources and become the Silicon Valley of green energy could be the beacon of hope in a time of gloom and disillusionment.
Governments wordlwide are desperately looking for fiscal stimuli to inject confidence back into troubled economies.
In Europe,many countries are backing industries because the cost of allowing them to fail is too great.The UK is looking to pump money into its banking system while France is betting on the ailing auto industry.
Calls across the EU are getting louder for governments to look to green energy as the solution for creating growth in the economy and jobs rather than investing in dying industries.This strategy places the Greens in Government at centre stage.
Storm clouds have set in over the renewable energy indstry in the US of late.Wind and solar power coupled with President Obama´s pledge to commit $150bn to green energy over 10 years meant Silicon Valley has been awash with excitement over an impending green boom.
In reality,according to reports in the US media,installation of wind and solar has plummeted amid the credit crisis.This has led to layoffs in factories building renewable energy parts and projections of up to a 50% decline this year in installation of this infrastructure.Capital is simply frozen and renewable-energy providers are feeling the brunt of this.
These setbacks have not dampened enthusiasm for renewable energy in Ireland.Eamon Ryan,Minister for Communications,Energy and Natural Resources,in an interview with Business and Finance says that Ireland can realistically aspire to be the Silicon Valley of Europe through developing a smart knowledge economy which is green.
"I think this aspiration is absolutely credible due to significant investment in Science Foundation Ireland and R&D.It´s also on the back of real expertise here in production management from our foreign direct investment(FDI).We generate wealth in the likes of information and communication technology(ICT) and biopharmacy and medical devices which are all relatively clean industries.They have low emissions and and are high value added with very low input,the classic definition of green economics.Companies like Dell´s criteria for investment and location,having clean power supplies as well as low cost.
Irish farming is less intensive in production than our European competitors so we can credibly come out and say we are cleaner and greener.Cleantech and greentech go together,so this is the direction we should take because it matches the reality of where we do and can generate wealth," says Ryan.
In Ireland the Government´s latest
announcement to eliminate the current Budget deficit by 2013 started with an immediate adjustment of Euro 2bn. This is planned to be followed with adjustments of Euro 4bn in 2010 and again in 2011,Euro 3.5bn in 2012 and Euro 3bn in 2013.So with the Government severely tightening its belt over the next four years,is Minister Ryan confident that his green vision for Ireland will fall into these plans?
"Yes I think the executive summary of the Government´s plan is very green.We have everything to gain from investing in the new alternative-energy sector as we recognise the challenges of climate change and peak oil as being the predominant challenges beyond the immediate economic downturn.I think I can reasonably say that is where the Government is going and hopefully from that lead,every Government department and agency will start to align itself in that direction," he says.
While green energy is a nebulous term today and is taken by many to refer only to renewable energy,all industries can and will eventually be forced to go green.
Retailers like Tesco and Sainsburys are asking food companies to show what their carbon footprint is and to label food miles on packing.Irish farming´s production system is less intensive than the rest of Europe which means its labelling can carry a marketing advantage.Even Irish construction companies like Kingspan have seen the potential of turning to greentech.
In terms of where major opportunities lie for Ireland,there is a very clear affinity between the digital economy and the green economy,according to Minister Ryan.
"Companies like Google and Dell are putting green centre stage in their strategy.When I am looking at the implosion that has occured in the world economy and the continuing contraction,you have to look and see what is going to replace that.I think it will be digital technologies that provide one of the opportunities.One of the reasons why it´s so green is because there would be massive productivity gains there that are actually relatively carbon neutral.
"I think the whole computing,telecommunications,
digital media services industries and the ability for us as a small island to sell to the world on such networks and services is where we need to go.I think you can actually define it as greentech industry.It is happening
in Silicon Valley.
Venture capitalists previosly in the ICT space are now looking at greentech.I think Ireland should aim to match that and aim to be world leaders in it," he says.
Ireland undoubtedly has natural resources in wind and wave with plans underway by many Irish companies to generate electricity and make this industry economically viable.A clear priority is grid development as without this basic infrastructure,power cannot be generated.While the US is sending out the message that it is going green,Ruan believes Ireland is ahead of Obamaś plan.
"If you look at Obamaś plan,a lot of green people would say it´s not green enough.Europe and Ireland in general have been ahead of the States in this greentech through signing up to Kyoto.In grid development,we are few years ahead of the US because we have our All Ireland grid studies.We also have Eirgrid 25 study and are building the East-West interconnector with the help of the European Union.In terms of energy efiency going into the homes,I started this four or five years ago.I met a woman from Danish Energy Committee and started working with her on a concept of how you go into homes and make it easy to retro fit them as if you buy a fitted kitchen.
"We got a programme for government commitment for Euro 100m over five years and we started trialling and testing it last year and it really works.So I look at Obama and think,we are ahead of you on that.In broadband,the US has a big plan for covering rural areas in the US. We signed with Hutchinson 3 last week for a Euro 223m package.If you look at the size of Ireland compared to the US and multiply Euro 223m by 150 0r 200 that is a big package,so we are doing now what they are only starting to plan now.On the last point of his strategy which is investment in R&D,it is already happening here through Science Foundation Ireland and the work with the National Digital Research Centre.So I really think we are ahead of the US,the key is to stay ahead and be as committed and determined as the Americans" he says.

Nomaitea - äkki vaevuksite vaatama ka Türksoni kehekeelt, ega seegi just alistumisest vestluskaaslasele ei räägi. A nagu öeldakse - ilu on vaataja silmis, ja teie silmis on ilus teadagi mis... Teie "tasemest" räägivad muidugi kõige ilmekamalt eelnevad kolm kommentaari (tea mitme kirjutaja hulgast nad küll "blogi autori poolse heakskiidu" on saanud) - kõik nii erinevad, ja samas nii sarnased... TASE!!!! Ennetajal kusjuures ikka nii "värsked", nii "värsked" mõtted...

Business and Finance.
Greentech is also seen as a way to create and replace some of the jobs which are being lost daily in
Ireland.In the 1990s,rapid employment was greated by FDI from US multinationals,this decade employment was created by construction and Ryan believes it will be the green energy sector which will provide jobs in the next decade.
"It´s history now but we used a lot of long-term strategic thinking in opening up the country,investing in education and joining the EU.They all happened
roughly in the 1990s which is when Ireland started to get real returns and become a really successful exporting country.For a range of different reasons including political and social,we lost the run of ourselves.We got into this consumer property-bubble boom which was disastrous for the long-term success of the country.To get out of that,we have to go back to our strenghts which is an open island trading in the world on the basis of adding value and expertise."
The Government and banks are being hammered at the moment from all sides.Opposition has led calls that the latest Government savings are a "sticking plaster on a deeper wound". Where will the investment to transform Ireland into a green power player come from?
"The Government has maintained capital spending above 5% which,by any international standards,is very high.We have to target first current spending and then widen our tax base out so that our revenue holds up-they are the first two key responses.Collectively,Bord Gais and ESB have set out roughly Euro 30bn investment strategies which is avery significant stimulus.At the moment,everything is stalled because the capital markets are frozen but if the world and Ireland can sort out the banking crisis that will start to loosen up and we can get lending targeted at these areas.
"It does require the banking community to learn a lesson from their mistakes in the last 10 years.I am out hammering the banks at the moment and I think what happened in certain banks was scandalous and should be really pursued in terms of individuals´s
perfomance.The historic failure to asses the real risk in property lending was incalculable.I think one of the things the banks should do is look at a much higher loan book in the enterprise sector paricularly around these greentech areas," says Ryan.
Private-sector investment in Irish renewable-energy companies is crucial but not guaranteed.Wave energy company Ocean Energy,based in Cork,says Spain,Portugal and Scotland are ahead of Ireland because of the crucial infrastructure in place which allows this electricity to be brought onshore.
There is an indicative support price of 15c per kilowatt in offshore wind and 22c in wave which were deliberately pitched to allow Ireland compete with Portugal,Germany and others at similar rates for international investors,according to Ryan.
"Grid connectivity is complex because you have to examine each project individually and be careful of competing interests because if you bring in power from one source,can grid hold it and what rights do other suppliers have? I think the crucial thing in terms of offshore development is that we set up a very clear regulatory planning system that makes it easy for investors to know what the regime and timeline is.I want this regulatory and planning system to match the ambition of Government which is for a massive development of offshore energy and supply.One of our priorities for this year is to have planning,regulatory and foreshore licensing and grid connection system that is integrated and easy to get through.We are currently building an offshore grid connection at the moment from Belmullet out into the northwest Atlantic.We have plan and while we are tight on time,we are not outside the timeframe of getting that investment here and getting those devices deployed."
While vision is one thing in Ireland,if there is any industry that will be affected by
NIMBY-ism,it´s the green energy sector as realistically who wants a windmill in their back yard?
The planning system has been critised in the past for its inefficiency,taking years to get anything done.So what are the plans for offshore planning?
"One of the constraints investors cite when they come to Ireland is that while they would love to get involved,they are concerned that they won´t be able to get through the planning system or there will be public opposition.So one of the jobs I am trying to do now is avoid the mistakes we made in the past in certain projects,where it turned into a very acrimonius and stalled process.We need to learn from this and talk to people to get support for some of the strategic direction and developments we have to make.
Legislation and the system also plays its part.What we don´t need is a slow bureaucratic response to the crisis we face.We need planning to be prompt and and at the same time protect environmental and social considerations in order to attract investment," he says.
With Ireland planning its energy future,many have called for a debate on the nuclear option and Ryan maintains that a debate should certainly be held.
"I consistently said in opposition and Government that we should have a debate on nuclear because through a debate,we can see what the best options for our country are,which I think would show isn´t nuclear power for a whole range of different economic reasons.Ireland is the windiest country in the world with a grid that is small and perhaps doesn´t sit well with nuclear and with no expertise in nuclear technology for it.I just don´t think it will be our solution but I have no objection in anyone arguing for it.We are facing a difficult energy future if we continue with business as usual;relaying on Russian gas coming through the Ukraine pipelines every winter as clockwork is not a good bet," he says.
Finally,as excitement builds at home and abroad for the prospects of a green economy,many economists have likened this to the dot-com bubble.
"If there was a threat of a bubble,that be a problem I would happily go to bed with.I wish to God that was the reality because my fear at the moment is that the capital markets and financial markets are so frozen that we are not going to get any bubble in anything.I think this change coming is so profound that it is not going to come and go.It took 100 years to build up an oil-based economy from Henry Ford´s Model T through to the present day and it didn´t bubble,it grew.What we are talking about now is a shift away from an oil-based fossil-fuel based economy towards a
renewable-energy efficient economy and that is the analogy to make.There may be spikes or
supply-chain congestion that may occur but this is going to go across every area:construction,transport,food,
everything.So if only it was a bubble,it would be much better bubble than housing as at least it leaves behind a legacy that is real."says Ryan

Vargad ahju!
Mida sa pärisorjastaja karjud, mine pane parem tuulik püsti omale. oleks ammu tehtud ka, kui sa siin poleks aega raisanud.
Aga ma tahtsin Innolt kommentaari, et miks pildi autori nimi välja on toodud, miski kättemaks? või tunnustus?
Ja veel ma ei mõista hästi, miks ei või justiitsminister mõne ametkonna juhiga tänaval juttu vesta.

Keda sa nimetad pärisorjastajaks?
Küllap oled valesti aru saanud minu kasutaja nimest.Pane otsingusse sõnad Mõiste pärisorjastamise ennetustöö ja siis ehk mõistad.
Kui sa ei saanud aru inglise keelsest tekstist siis võta tõlk.
Ja üldse,mis see sinu perset torgib mida ma teen või ei tee?
Iga normaalne inimene käib kohvikus või pubis suhtlemas teiste inimestega ja kui sa veel pole aru saanud kuhu sa kommenteerid siis vaata ülevasse serva,seal on kirjutatud Inno ja Irja kohvik.))))
Vargad ahju!
