I didn't quote this message because of its length, but it denounced World
Bank financing for dams as environmentally destructive and destructive as
well of indigenous communities and ways of life.
The anti-damsters have an important point here, but I've never heard any
views on a positive development model to replace them. Are traditional
ways of life to be preserved forever? Is electrification a bad thing in
itself? In other words, what should be done in place of the dams?
