Damming Patagonia | The Resilient Earth

As with all sources of energy, renewable or not, there is a price to be paid. Even pro-ecology activists have come to realize that the improbable specter of CO2 induced global warming is less threatening to natural environments than damming rivers that still run free. While it is too late for China, where side effects from construction of the massive Three Gorges Dam continue to disrupt lives and alter the environment, Patagonia can still be saved by using coal in the interim and nuclear for the long run. And once that is done, perhaps such a program could help save the United States from its own foolish policies.
