Patrick Bond:

many large dam projects lead to underdevelopment.

[WS:] I do not get it. Why did hydroelectric dams promote development in the USSR or even the US, but not in the Third World countries? Is it because they displace subsistence farming?

If subsistence farming is the left's idea of development, you can keep it. I ain't buying.
