A New Aluminum Vote For The Strong

“The strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they want”
- Thucydides

Two years ago, the residents of Hafnarfjordur rejected the enlargement of Rio Tinto Alcan’s aluminum plant in their vicinity in a popular vote.

Today the plant’s supporters are back. They needed 25% of registered voters to sign a petition to ask for a new vote.

In this economic environment, it is no surprise that they got those signatures. So now the citizens’ can vote again.

But what does the timing say about this development?
