Title: "Don't Dam Our Rivers Dammit!" Say Protestors

Quote from: Don't Dam Our Rivers Dammit Say Protestors

A group of Greenpeace protesters have called for an end to a government proposal to begin damming rivers in Taijitu Founder to increase water supplies and generate power.

1. "Don't build dams!" shouts protestor Bianca McGuffin through a microphone heavily afflicted with feedback. "Do you know how many fish die in other dams in our region each year? Have you heard of the adverse effects building a dam has on the surrounding environment? Dam up this flood of dams, damn it!"

2. "Think before you open your mouth," says engineer Sue-Ann Song. "While Taijitu Founder may have to pay the price in animal diversity, as well as adverse effects on the environment, do we really want fossil-fuel based plants polluting Taijitu Founder? If you use your common sense, I think you'll find that damming some rivers would be a good idea. Plus, think of how much the economy would benefit from all the jobs these projects would create."

I'm leaning towards building the dams. The economy could use a boost and it is probably preferable in the long to fossil-fuels and the like.

Agreed. Dams do far less damage than smokestacks.
