The Three-Gorges Project

Three Gorges to generate 30 bn kwh of electricity in 2004(10/01/04)
The China Yangtze River Three Gorges Project Development Corporation said Friday that the Three Gorges hydropower plant is expected to generate ...
Three Gorges power plant generates 8.6 bln kwh of electricity(03/01/04)
China's Three Gorges hydropower plant, with six generating units now in operation, had generated 8.6 billion kwh of electricity by the end of 20...


The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze will be the largest hydroelectric dam in the world. It would stretch nearly a mile across and tower 575 feet above the world’s third longest river. Its reservoir would stretch over 350 miles upstream and force the displacement of up to 1.9 million people. Construction began in 1994 and is scheduled to take 20 years and over $24 billion.

In March of 1989, strong citizen opposition to the project in China forced the People’s Congress to suspend plans for the dam, but the project was swiftly resurrected by Premier Li Peng in the aftermath of Tiananmen Square.

In its campaigns against the dam, International Rivers Network has been calling attention to the environmental and social impacts of the project along with the international companies and banks necessary for construction.

In September of 1994, IRN and a coalition of US environment, development and human rights groups encouraged the US administration to withhold financial support for the US companies eager to bid for the project. After more than a year, the National Security Council concluded that the US government should stay clear of the controversial Three Gorges Dam. In May of 1996, the US Export–Import Bank announced that they would not guarantee loans to US companies seeking contracts for the dam. In addition, the World Bank, traditionally the largest funder of dams in developing countries, has also refrained from financing Three Gorges Dam.

Despite the warnings and protests by Chinese citizens and the media attention surrounding the project and its destructive impacts on China’s people and economy, major banks and government export credit agencies have been quick to fundraise for the dam.....etc... etc.

No actual offense intended, Gusty, hon, but I'll get more enraptured with all things Chinese when they stop making their political dissidents disappear into prisons for forty years or so. That nation could be truly great - a cultural and trade leader - if only they would open their society to freedom.
