construction had begun on what will be the world’s largest hydropower dam, on the eastern rim of the Tibetan Plateau, at an estimated cost of at least US$170 billion (S$218.5 billion)

The Three Gorges, which took almost two decades to complete, generated nearly a million jobs, state media reported, though it displaced at least a similar number of people

India and Bangladesh have already raised concerns about its possible impact on the millions of people downstream, while non-governmental organisations (NGOs) warned of the risk to one of the richest and most diverse environments on the plateau.

such a colossal dam barely 50km from the border could dry out 80 per cent of the river passing through the Indian state while potentially inundating downstream areas in Arunachal and neighbouring Assam state.

Good example for why going green sometimes may not be ideal.....
