Re: [Marxism] Did Mega-Dam in China lead to earthquake?

[Larry Damms <larrydamms@xxxxxxxxx>]

David says,
 
"China is building more dams and, like the 3 Gorges Dam that currently is 
the largest one in the world. The dams themselves represent massive 
mitigator to the building of coal plants, another scourge of Chinese 
economic growth"
 
Larry Damms:
 
IIRC, throughout the long process of Three Gorges' planning, building, and 
operation, storing surface water for diversion to parched northern provinces 
has been as or more important an aspect of the dam than the hydro-power 
aspect. Predictably the pharaonic south-to-north canal (hey! there's a Mike 
Davis turn of phrase) has been subject to a host of bureaucratic delays, cost 
overruns, unseen engineering challenges, neglected environmental fiascos, 
illegal dislocations, etc.
