A Benzedeira

asd Havia um médico na nossa rua que, quando
atendia um chamado de urgência na vizinhança, o re-
médio para todos os males era só um: Veganin. Certa
vez, Virgínia ficou semanas de cama por conta de um
5 i herpes-zóster na perna. A ferida aumentava dia a dia
e o dr. Albano, claro, receitou Veganin, que, claro, não
surtiu resultado. Eis que minha mãe, no desespero,
passou por cima dos conselhos da igreja e chamou
dona Anunciata, que além de costureira, cabeleireira
10 i e macumbeira também era benzedeira. A mulher era
obesa, mal passava por uma porta sem que alguém a
empurrasse, usava uma peruca preta tipo lutador de
sumô, porque, diziam, perdera os cabelos num pro-
cesso de alisamento com água sanitária.
15 asd Se Anunciata se mostrava péssima cabeleireira,
no quesito benzedeira era indiscutível. Acompanha-
da de um sobrinho magrelinha (com a sofrida missão
do empurra-empurra), a mulher “estourou” no quarto
onde Virgínia estava acamada e imediatamente pe-
20 i diu uma caneta-tinteiro vermelha — não podia ser
azul — e circundou a ferida da perna enquanto re-
zava Ave-Marias entremeadas de palavras africanas
entre outros salamaleques. Essa cena deve ter dura-
do não mais que uma hora, mas para mim pareceu o
25 i dia inteiro. Pois bem, só sei dizer que depois de três
dias a ferida secou completamente, talvez pelo susto
de ter ficado cara a cara com Anunciata, ou porque
o Vaganin do dr. Albano finalmente fez efeito. Em agra-
decimento, minha mãe levou para a milagreira um
30 i bolo de fubá que, claro, foi devorado no ato em um
minuto, sendo que para o sobrinho empurra-empurra
que a tudo assistia não sobrou nem um pedacinho.

Why You Should Invest In Green Energy Right Now

asd It’s no secret that the global energy demand
continues to rise. Driven by emerging economies and
non-OECD nations, total worldwide energy usage
is expected to grow by nearly 40% over the next 20
5 years. That’ll require a staggering amount of coal, oil
and gas.
asd But it’s not just fossil fuels that will get the
nod. The demand for renewable energy sources is
exploding, and according to new study, we haven’t
10 i seen anything yet in terms of spending on solar, wind
and other green energy projects. For investors, that
spending could lead to some serious portfolio green
as well.

Rising Market Share
15 asd The future is certainly looking pretty “green”
for renewable energy bulls. A new study shows that
the sector will receive nearly $5.1 trillion worth of
investment in new power plants by 2030. According to
a new report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, by
20 i 2030, renewable energy sources will account for over
60% of the 5,579 gigawatts of new generation capacity
and 65% of the $7.7 trillion in power investment.
Overall, fossil fuels, such as coal and natural gas, will
see their total share of power generation fall to 46%.
25 i That’s a lot, but down from roughly from 64% today.
asd Large-scale hydropower facilities will command
the lion’s share of new capacity among green energy
sources. However, the expansion by solar and wind
energy will be mighty swift as well.
30 asd The Bloomberg report shows that solar and
wind will increase their combined share of global
generation capacity to 16% from 3% by 2030. The key
driver will be utility-scale solar power plants, as well as
the vast adoption of rooftop solar arrays in emerging
35 i markets lacking modern grid infrastructure. In places
like Latin America and India, the lack of infrastructure
will actually make rooftop solar a cheaper option for
electricity generation. Analysts estimate that Latin
America will add nearly 102 GW worth of rooftop solar
40 i arrays during the study’s time period.
asd Bloomberg New Energy predicts that economics
will have more to do with the additional generation
capacity than subsidies. The same can be said
for many Asian nations. Increased solar adoption
45 i will benefit from higher costs related to rising liquid
natural gas (LNG) imports in the region starting in
2024. Likewise, on- and offshore wind power facilities
will see rising capacity as well.
asd In the developed world, Bloomberg New Energy
50 i Finance predicts that CO2 and emission reductions
will also help play a major role in adding additional
renewable energy to the grid. While the U.S. will
still focus much of its attention towards shale gas,
developed Europe will spend roughly $67 billion on
55 i new green energy capacity by 2030.
