Govt caves in to coal blackmail

Jero Wacik: Energy
and Mineral Resources Minister (JP/Ricky Yudhistira)Governors in Kalimantan
have shown their enormous power after the government caved in to their demand
to supply more fuel following a massive blockade of a major coal transport
route.
Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Jero Wacik told reporters on Monday that
the government would add to the supply of non-subsidized fuels as an emergency
response to the blockade at the Barito River in South Kalimantan.
However, Jero said, those behind the blockade would be prosecuted for meddling
with national energy security.
Jero said he had consulted with four governors in Kalimantan and told them that
the blockade could be perceived as a direct result of their previous threat
against the central government.
The governors — Awang Faroek Ishak of East Kalimantan, Rudy Arifin of South
Kalimantan, Teras Narang of Central Kalimantan and Cornelis MH of West
Kalimantan — and other regional representatives previously sent a petition to
the ministry threatening to terminate coal supplies from Kalimantan if
subsidized-fuel allocations were not raised.
The petition was also sent to upstream oil and gas regulator BPMigas and to the
House of Representatives.
According to the Ministry, Indonesia has an estimated 21.13 billion tons of coal
reserves nationwide, and 83 percent of its proven reserves are in Kalimantan.
The island is also the world’s largest exporter of thermal coal for power
plants.
The nation’s coal production topped 371 million tons last year, up 34.4 percent
over 2010.
In their petition, the governors demanded that the House increase this year’s
quota to 3.46 million kiloliters, up 27.8 percent from 2.71 million kiloliters
set in the 2012 revised state budget.
Before the governors could execute their threat, hundreds of activists started
the blockade using small boats on Saturday.
The activists claimed to represent the interests of the people of Kalimantan
who opposed the systematic exploitation of the central government. One of the
nation’s most prominent environment activist groups, the Indonesian Forum for
the Environment (Walhi), also took part in the blockade.
“Our motivation is driven by our concern
toward the unfair distribution of energy resources — fuel and electricity — in
South Kalimantan[1].We want the locals to have the utmost
authority over their region’s natural resources,” Walhi member Berry Furqon
said.
Jero said he would continue to discuss with the governors about how to end the
blockade.
“With the blockade, the provinces lose a source of revenue. The disruption of
coal deliveries will also cause blackouts in Java and other islands nationwide
because coal-fired power plants will not get a sufficient supply,” Jero said.
Any decision to raise subsidized-fuel allocations should be approved by the
House, which would take time as it would require an amendment to the state
budget law. In the meantime, the central government would raise the
non-subsidized fuel allocation, Jero said.
Separately, state power utility PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) coal division
head Helmi Najamudin said that for the time being the blockade would have no
impact on PLN’s operations as the company had coal stocks sufficient for around
25 days.
“If the blockade goes on for the longer term, there will be massive blackouts
in Java,” he said.
Satya W Yudha, a lawmaker on of House Commission VII overseeing energy, natural
mineral resources, research and technology, and the environment, said that the
governors had to produce verifiable data to support their argument for a larger
fuel allocation.
“What really happened in Kalimantan is not just about subsidized-fuel scarcity
but also about the misuse of the commodity. Most of the subsidized-fuel allocations in that region are being
smuggled[2] or are consumed[3] by industries that are
supposedly using non-subsidized fuels,” Satya said.
University of Indonesia energy expert Kurtubi, however, refused to blame
industrial and mining companies for the chaotic situation in Kalimantan and
instead pushed the central government to fulfill the demands of regional
leaders for more subsidized fuel.
“Our quota policy is basically flawed. We set a quota of 40 million kiloliters
for subsidized-fuel consumption this year but at the same time, we forgot that
our quota last year exceeded 40 million kiloliters,” Kurtubi said.

Pengertian Dan Rumus Passive Voice.
Passive voice
is a grammatical
construction (grammatical forms) where the
subject of the sentence is not
to take action, but rather accept the action or
follow-up (receiver of action) by another agent (DOER
of action) either
mentioned or not.
In contrast, the active
construction, subject directly related to the verb to act as agents
of action. Active sentence can be transformed into passive, but only
transitive verb (followed
by direct object) that can be enforced so.
