WAC The Three Gorge Dams

China should not build any more of the hydro electric dams. First of all they have already used a lot of money to build the dams. Over 30 billion dollars! Second of all it is taking a huge amount of the people near the river's homes. Then last but not least these dams are covering up important historical monuments like the chalk wall in china. This one I think it is sad because they are covering up some of there history. Now generations later people may forget about these important historical monuments that are not covered by the river and dam.

How I got this information from these 3 quotes of the article. First of all "Eighteen years after construction began and at a cost of more than 30 billion." Secondly "More than 1.4 million people had to leave their family homes with little financial assistance." The last time we where here we could see all of the characters." These are the quotes from the article I choose because I think they brought across some good facts and points. I will tell you more about why I choose them though.

The first quote "Eighteen years after construction began and at a cost of more than 30 billion." I picked this because it give of a clear point they spent so much money on these dams already and they could use that money way better. The second said "More than 1.4 million people had to leave their family homes with little financial assistance." I think that this a horrible thing to do China these are your people and now you kick them out of there land.Another sad thing is that these are there farmers and they had to put them some where so they moved them into the mountain.Then the last quote " The last time we where here we could see all of the characters." 

OK this makes no sense but what he is talking about is the Chalk Wall. Jordan Jones the one who wrote this article was there and the Chalk wall is a part of there history so they went to visit it.The difference this time is that they could only see half of  the characters on the wall.The rest where submerged into the water.The dams had made the water rise so now they are covered.

In conclusion China should not build any more hydro electric dams.The dam have helped them but there are way more con than pros.By building more dams they are hurting there people by taking away there home. They are covering up there important history and they are using up a lot of money.China should  use other options to make power and stop flooding. For power they could use the wind by building windmills. Then for flooding they can do thing in there cities to block the floods.There are so many better ways to do things.Making these dams are not a very good way.
