Prime Time News on Killing Spree

UPDATE:
Read Anil's post on the madness of nuclear energy and 12 dams here

ORGINAL:
Prime time news really can kill me. Last night when I was having dinner with my manager, the restaurant showed the prime time news and I was nearly having heart attack.

Sarawak is going to build 12 more dams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With Bakun in progress, Sarawak really need that many dams? I mean freaking 12 leh!!!! Bakun alone will provide 2000MW and the 12 combined will provide another 5000MW (0r 4000MW, couldn't remember as I'm boiling that time.....).

If the need is justified, then of course, build as many as you want after considering the effect to the environment but I really doubt there's any need of 12 more dams. I might be wrong but as far as I know, the Sarawak electricity supply is always on the good side (or maybe I just compare to Sabah, which tops in the list of the worst).

So, if this is the last effort of someone in power to snatch and run as many as they can, this should be stopped right now.

Or else, it will be DAMned.

Aiya! seems to me people are getting greedier by the minute. They are probably thinking that as long as i'm in power, i will do what i can to secure as much money as possible. and that's wht most of our leaders are doing now.

i think its a good move,the future energy is going to be escalated and hydro provide cheaper alternative.to build hydro dams and plants need time,even up to 5 -6 year.have to start now.by the time hydro in place,all ipp agreement will be expired,and plant to be shutdown.this is what is called planning ladies and gentlemen.
