OliviaB rated 2 months ago- http://www.radford.edu/~wkovarik/envhist/RenHist/2.water.pix/three.gorges.solida rite.jpg image of the incredibly fabulous gorge as it appeared before completion of the Dam, in Hubei province, China. Definitely another great Chinese tragedy.

For over three decades the Chinese government dismissed warnings from scientists and environmentalists that its Three Gorges Dam--the world's largest--had the potential of becoming one of China's biggest environmental nightmares. But last fall, denial suddenly gave way to reluctant acceptance that the naysayers were right.

- I think perhaps that it is not an issue of feasibility rather than culture that is driving the development. The Yangtze historically has been both the blood and china and the hubris. It serve then ever since the chinese have been able to engineer anything that one of the most elusive goals was to harness the power of the dragon. Modern technology is finally allowing the recognition of a cultural dream and i think the government is really pursuing this dream. The feasibility of it is perhaps questionable despite china's long history of hydro engineering, but where there is a will, there will be a way, and the will of the chinese government has always been strong.

From the page: "For over three decades, the Chinese government has dismissed warnings from scientists and environmentalists that its Three Gorges Dam -- the world's largest -- had the potential of becoming one of China's biggest environmental nightmares. But last fall, denial suddenly gave way to reluctant acceptance that the naysayers were right. Chinese officials staged a sudden about-face, acknowledging for the first time that the massive hydroelectric dam, sandwiched between breathtaking cliffs on the Yangtze River in central China, may be triggering landslides, altering entire ecosystems and causing other serious environmental problemsâ€"and, by extension, endangering the millions who live in its shadow."
