Do they plan to corner the re-charging supply market
and therby become the king-DONG of it?
Denmark is one of the first countries to fully embrace the e-car vision of Shai Agassi's Better Place, so it wasn't much of a surprise to see the leccy car infrastructure company show up at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen this week.

DONG is building a waste-to-toxins factory in Dublin. This will pump 650 thousand Tonnes of CO2 into the air each year. In addition the world will be polluted with microparticles and even more dangerous nanoparticles (cancers, heart problems; unmonitored pollution; cute wee hoor Irish governance standards). Dong is the cynically innocent public face for New Jerseys waste industry and proven dioxin releasers, Covanta (Rutgers Law Centre).
Dong-covanta destroy energy (embedded in burnt products).
Dong employees told lies to members of the public.

There are no easy answers ....
