Offshore Units That Employed About 10 Thousand People in Rio Grande Are Already Being Scrapped. Union Protests

[supsystic-social-sharing id=’1′]This is not sensationalism, no matter how unbelievable this news may seem. Unbelievably, Petrobras Sold the P-71 and P-72 Units for dismantling. The plants, development, invested money, everything that was bought and countless months of work are simply being turned into scrap at this moment at the Ecovix shipyard in Rio Grande do Sul. The company that is carrying out the cuts is Gerdau after winning the bid not long ago. Pedro Parente has been signaling for some time that he would make this decision in order to cut costs. Many are protesting because these works provided jobs for around 10 thousand professionals.

The Metalworkers Union of Rio Grande and São José do Norte was also anticipating this “merciful guillotine” by Petrobras in the state’s naval industry. Benito Gonçalves, who is the president of the local union, says it is a true violation of the nation and that it is directly harming workers, fathers, and mothers of families in RS. The union has already filed a lawsuit requesting explanations that justify this dismantling. If the problem was technology for the repurposing of these units, why didn’t Petrobras consider the interest of COSCO, the Chinese company that wanted to take over these platforms and complete the remaining work.

“Benito Gonçalves, shows all his irritation when talking about this problem: “One must consider all the qualifications of this personnel, all the effort to become a metalworker and to throw us in the trash along with these parts. Nothing justifies using worked material to be sold as scrap.”

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The world has been generating 80% of electricity by boiling water for 200 years, but China has just turned on a machine that replaces steam with supercritical CO2 and promises to jump from 33% to 50% efficiency.

At a depth of 914 meters, a team accidentally discovers a pirate ship with cannons, a telescope, and objects from three continents on the seabed, uncovering a mystery that has haunted Europe for centuries.

Instead of digging new holes, scientists dive into an abandoned acid mine lake in Montana and discover that the toxic water has already done the work of extracting rare earths from the rock on its own.
