I lost my train of thought a above... on dams being [not] a bad thing, I mean to say I'm actually in favour of hydroelectric power, but I think large 'mega' dam projects like many other types of mega projects, are too destructive and we'd be better off with more, smaller (run of river?) dams. I'm leave in a couple weeks to visit Shanghai, so can't help thinking about the impact of the Three Gorges project to that country and the Yangzhee River.
This is weird coming from me, because I'm awestruck and inspired by the mammoth structures and projects of the recent past.
