Bjork protesting Magma acquisition of HS Orka

In Iceland, Bjork is heading a campaign protesting against the Icelandic Government’s decision to allow Canada’s Magma Energy to invest further in the island’s geothermal power company HS Orka. The singer told the Financial Times said, “Most people feel this is something the nation should keep … this deal smells like the leftovers from the corruption that brought us the bank crash.” She and fellow activists have produced a national petition to try and block a deal that would leave Magma with 98.5% of the Iceland’s biggest energy company.
