I think it’s great that the copper industry is increasing its use of solar power. I think it’s great that political leaders bless the power plant site in the local tradition, including the use of what appears to be coca leaf. I also think it sucks that Chile arrests and sentences people to as much as three years in prison for carrying coca leaves. Make up your mind, people.
