Viewing cable 07SANTIAGO1314, CHILEAN DAILIES HYPE NUCLEAR AND CLEAN ENERGY AS BILATERAL

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables

SUBJECT: CHILEAN DAILIES HYPE NUCLEAR AND CLEAN ENERGY AS BILATERAL 
AGENDA ITEMS FOR NEW U.S. AMBASSADOR 
 
 
1.  (SBU) SUMMARY:  Chile's most prominent dailies claim energy will 
be the top agenda item of the next U.S. Ambassador.  "La Tercera" 
declared that the nomination of Paul Simons -- EB DAS for Energy, 
Sanctions, and Commodities -- represents a decision to elevate 
energy to a U.S. foreign policy priority in the region.  "La 
Tercera" columnist Mario Vargas Llosa went so far as to claim that 
the new Ambassador "will come with the mission of persuading" Chile 
to invest in and develop nuclear energy.  "El Mercurio" reported 
that the new Ambassador will be promoting clean energy for Chile, 
and its international columnist suggested Simons would advance 
cooperation on nuclear power if Chile decides to pursue that energy 
alternative. 
 
2.  (SBU) With no official White House announcement of a new 
Ambassador, Post has made no comment, public or private, about these 
stories.  End Summary. 
 
3.  (U) Conservative daily "La Tercera" in an editorial and an 
article by correspondent Alvaro Vargas Llosa on August 5 asserted 
that the nomination is part of a policy initiative to raise the 
importance of energy issues in the hemisphere.  Vargas Llosa stated 
that the new Ambassador would come with the mission of convincing 
the GOC that nuclear energy is a good, safe alternative for meeting 
Chile's energy shortage. 
 
4.  (U) Citing an unnamed State Department source, Vargas Llosa 
alluded to the recent U.S. nuclear pact with India, calling it a 
precedent for other U.S. allies to follow.  An unnamed Treasury 
Department source reportedly claimed that there are political 
considerations in the White House decision, namely enticing Chile 
away from forming an energy alliance with Venezuela. 
 
5.  (SBU) The "La Tercera" assessment is based on so-called 
"signals."  Much weight has been given to the July visit to Chile of 
U/S Nicholas Burns.  In a media interview he expressed U.S. 
"willingness" to "actively cooperate" with Chile in the area of 
nuclear energy.  (Comment:  U/S Burns was responding to a question 
on whether the United States would support Chile in developing this 
alternative source.  It is a journalistic stretch to suggest that 
this was subtle pressure or a U.S. signal.  End Comment.) 
 
6.  (SBU) Nuclear energy would be a controversial priority under the 
current administration.  President Bachelet, during her electoral 
campaign, signed an agreement with environmental groups not to 
develop nuclear plants during her term in office.  Nevertheless, the 
President did agree to a feasibility study on its possible 
development in Chile.  In an interview on August 10 with Vargas 
Llosa, Foreign Minister Foxley said that his meeting with Secretary 
Rice did not cover nuclear energy.  He added that there is no 
consensus on the topic in Chile and that nuclear power takes 10-15 
years to develop. 
 
7.  (U) Chile's leading newspaper, "El Mercurio," on August 9 
reported that Washington and Chile would cooperate in the 
"development of clean energy" in Chile, taking advantage of the U.S. 
experience with coal, wood, and cellulose waste.  Foreign Minister 
Foxley stated that with Chile's abundant forests and wood resources 
cooperation with the United States is a logical decision.  In its 
report on Foxley's statement, "El Mercurio" worked in the Simons 
appointment, noting energy would be one of his top priorities. 
 
8.  (U) On August 10, El Mercurio's international affairs columnist, 
Karen Ebensperger, noted that the appointment of Simons should 
bolster new U.S. political objectives in the Americas.  Simons would 
help reestablish Washington's influence, which had been on decline 
in the region.  Moreover, the promotion of biofuels would permit the 
United States to reduce its own dependence on oil and counterbalance 
Hugo Chavez's energy diplomacy. 
 
9.  (SBU) Comment:  The Chilean media perceives that energy issues 
will be the top priority of the next U.S. Ambassador.  There is the 
misconception, at least at "La Tercera," that promoting nuclear 
energy in Chile has zoomed to the top of the bilateral agenda. 
Simons is portrayed as a nuclear advocate out to convince the GOC to 
pursue that option.  While we await the White House announcement, 
Post will, if asked, emphasize as a general theme that the new 
Ambassador will cover the full range of bilateral issues.  End 
comment.
