In the American continent (24,709,000 square kilometres), President Barak Obama suspends new drilling permits and deepwater exploration because of the dangers posed by the oil industry.
In contrast, in the 320-square-kilometre island-nation called Malta, a subsidiary of the Emirates National Oil Company, owned by the Dubai government, has announced plans to construct a 600,000-cubic-metre storage capacity oil terminal next to Marsaxlokk port.
The greedy egoistic materialism prevalent at all levels in our country is simply astounding. Madonna taż-Żejt, ora pro nobis.
