Søren R.
started this petition to
The National Parliament of Denmark
Stop selling the most of the cooperative owned Danish windfarms, the Danish power distribution grid, most of the Danish co-gen power plants, the oil and gas exploration etc. owned and managed by DONG Energy and still controlled by the Danish state. If Golgman Sachs is allowed to take over the control of DONG Energy - the Danish effort to green and shift the energy system to renewables will slow down or come to a halt. TAKE NOTE: There is a parallel petition in Danish on http://www.skrivunder.net/nej_tak_til_statens_salg_af_dong_til_goldman_sachs - This petition has collected a stagging 152.000 Danish signatures in only 13 days - so far. Both petitions close on Thursday the 30'th where the Danish Parliament will vote. MP's within the Danish government are raising their voices against the sale as well. In essence the sale is about 19% of the shares tto GS, but with hefty clauses that ensures GS veto on 9 core bussines areas within the state owned (and in Denmark DONG is perceived as the Danes own energy company).
