Hi all, There is an amazing 25 minute interview with the head of the International Rivers Network on dams' and water projects' massive destructive effects on the atmosphere, and on human land use sustainability at: http://tucradio.org/environment.html go to the fourth link from the top, or directly run in your audio player: http://tucradio.org/0110mccully.mp3 This interview makes crystal clear that energy policy has to be holistic and sensibly thought through, that dams are indeed bad for the environment, and that leaving them in place will in many cases -promote- global warming, and will accelerate already looming food depletion. dare I say cheers?
