U.S. Wins WTO Case to destroy India's Solar Power Industry

17. Exporting LNG may cause a lot of homelessness-as well as a building boomlet in the US

Even if energy costs only go up 60% thats still going to mean a lot of postwar buildings torn down and legal changes that make housung much more market driven.

Read this:

"For the purposes of this Agreement…

(b) 'services' includes any service in any sector except services supplied in the exercise of governmental authority;

(c) 'a service supplied in the exercise of governmental authority' means any service which is supplied neither on a commercial basis, nor in competition with one or more service suppliers."



Google that second line and you'll find that it means no NEW "public services" including housing. Also existing "services" wherever any money is involved are not considered to be public, and then GATS and TISA and TPP apply and they have to be private.The US framing is that doing it any other way is a theft from corporations. And its a one way street with no way out. That's called "progressive liberalisation"

Government spending also has to be allocated by objective criteria, not simply spent in your own country. To create jobs. Thats no longer allowed. Its discrimination.


So, the real mesage here is America is open for business, no mater how different you are, we just care about how low you bid.

Indian firms will get equal access to the bidding process, and be well situated to win, and likely get a lot of business.

Government grants are government spending. Say if they only give the builders $1000 per unit, that will mean the entire project has to be put up for competitive building. People leaving New York because of the changes will need homes, right. Affordable homes. Somewhere.

This is Obama's specialty. "Redevelopment"
