Dogan:
Did you know that Petroleos de Venezuela, SA (PDVSA) entered into a
joint venture with Schlumberger, BV for natural gas drilling in
Venezuela which includes fracturing?
The Bolivarians must in the course of their struggle confront
the dangers to their environment posed by certain types of
natural gas and oil (e.g. tar sands) technologies which have
been developed by capital. The answer does not lie with joint
ventures with capitalist firms. The answer lies with extending
and deepening the revolutionary process. As you say, that will
require - increasingly - that they not wear white gloves.
