	¿Qué buscan los supuestos ecologistas contra el carbón?
		En 1986, de un solo plumazo, el corrupto gobierno de Jaime Lusinchi le quitó el carbón a Corpozulia, se lo llevó para Caracas y no hubo una sola organización gremial ni política, tampoco ecologista, que saliera a protestar semejante atropello.
		De repente se han dedicado 24 horas al día a estudiar la problemática social de la Guajira, a publicar documentos en internet y encartes de cuatro páginas en periódicos de Caracas, a declarar por radio y televisión y a movilizar costosas manifestaciones desde la Sierra de Perijá hasta Caracas, animadas con falsos argumentos.
		Al generalizar en términos apocalípticos y vender la imagen del desastre niegan que exista y funcione el Fondo para el Desarrollo Zuliano, que opera con 20 millones de dólares sacados del carbón y con el cual asfaltamos carreteras, construimos viviendas, reparamos escuelas y ayudamos a las comunidades de Mara y Páez y todo el Zulia.
