Don't know whether to laugh or cry or blow something up when I hear fools like gore prescribing a more powerful central government to save the Earth from the ravages of rapacious greedy Capitalists. Especially when you read of the ravages of rapacious insane communists. Save the world - empower the Capitalists:

China planning nuclear blasts to build giant hydro project
By Damien Mcelroy in Beijing

China People's Daily [in English]

Inside China Today

CHINESE leaders are drawing up plans to use nuclear explosions, in breach of the international test-ban treaty, to blast a tunnel through the Himalayas for the world's biggest hydroelectric plant.

The proposed power station is forecast to produce more than twice as much electricity as the controversial Three Gorges Dam being built on the Yangtze river. The project, which also involves diverting Tibetan water to arid regions, is due to begin as soon as construction of the Three Gorges Dam is completed in 2009.

China will have to overcome fierce opposition from neighbouring countries who fear that the scheme could endanger the lives and livelihoods of millions of their people. Critics say that those living downstream would be at the mercy of Chinese dam officials who would be able to flood them or withhold their water supply.
