Well I think that its not fair that they are only paying them what their house is worth, but come on think about it they still had to make the dam which ended up costing them hundreds of millions so where are they going to get the money to pay the million people behind where the dam is going to be.
I think if theyre being forced to leave they should get paid for the inconvience of it all. I'd want to be paidmore then what my house is worth if this was me.
I believe the three gorges dam is bigger than it needs to be. Although it did solve flooding problems down-stream, it became a flooding problem for 1.4 million up-stream. This is the best example of trade-offs in the real world.
175 meters high is a lot of water, i guess that makes sense considering how big this dam is. 1.4 million people is also a lot of people to get displaced. I think that is too many people. The dam did not need to be how big it is, they could have built it smaller and not displaced as many people easily while still controlling the flooding down stream.
I think that the dam is a great source of energy for china. It is making more electricity than ever and has reached its maximum height. The dam contributes a lot to the country and is a very positive hydro power plant.
The three gorges dam produces so much energy that those communist scum suckers could have easily afforded to pay the people a reasonable amount for their homes rather than putting them in f(&^ing wig-wams. It's ridiculous how nations treat its citizens, all they are are numbers to the countries rather than understanding the disadvantage that they are putting 1.4 million people in.
I think they deserve to get paid more money, especially if they're being forced to leave. It's good the dam is making electricity because they are such a big country so it's a good energy source for them.
i belive giving them money isnt fair because its their home they are leaving behind. what has been done is done. Just look at the pros and cons to see if it was worth the damage and the energy out put of the dam being built there
I think that the Dam is a good thing for china. It stops flooding down the river and makes more jobs for people. It is really bad that 1.4 million people had to move but its for a better cause.
since the government had to move the inhabitants of the area that was flooded by the dam. to government should have justly payed them compensation for the inconveniences.
the government should have compensated the people that lived there but at the same time they were saved because when the area wouldve been flooded they wouldve been forced to leave anyways
I think that even though the dam has stopped the annual flooding, it has caused more problems than it solved. 1.4 million people homeless for the stopping of annual flooding is a bad trade. The chinese government could at least pay the people for damages and lost property
sticky, i think that paying some one only what their house is worth is not cool, what if the house has a lot of sentimental value, that could ruin a family. they should just keep the dam on lock down.
It's kind of freaky that the water level could create landslides, and if i lived in the town they had to evacuate i'd be really upset. it's not a natural tragedy, it's a man made catastrophe thats displacing lots of people. it's for a good cause, but THAT doesn't make any people any less pissed about leaving their homes. "one or two minor cases of earth-shifting," still affects civilians, and i think they should take THOSE people into consideration.
Looking at this problem through the Chinese governments eyes, I wouldn't have paid the 1.4 million displaced people any more than they got. But from a citizens standpoint those people should have gotten a lot more compensation. I don't know about the landslides. The government doesn't think they are a problem, but we will just have to see.
I think that if the Chinese government would have given the 1.4 million people who had to relocate more money and built buildings for them to live in it would have been much better looking for the Chinese government. But they are saving multitudes more by only moving 1.4 million.
i think that they should watch the water levels closer so people don't keep getting displaced. but if people do, then they should get something out of it because its not fair to them
Although it's good that you get maximum output power when the dam is full, it could cause land slides and prolonged damage to the river. This can cause more fatalities and misplaced people because of the Three Gorges Dam. The water level should be kept between 145 meters and 175 meters.
It is amazing that such a dam could be built. I just feel bad for all the land damaged and people displaced. People usually dont think about the effect it has on people around the dam, just the electricity is produces.
I think it was worth moving 1.4 million people because the tens of millions of people downstream were being harmed. While they should have been paid more to move, the 3 gorges dam alone was worth moving those people to save others lives, the massive electricity is just a plus
Dam was a good idea, stops flooding every few years for one flood that would kill/ suffer less people then it would have if it wasnt built. very efficient -marissaa
I think that the Dam was a good idea over all for the country but it still isn't fair to the people that had there homes flood. But then again they had to make a sacrifice and even though it was unfair, they had to think for the whole country and what would be the best for it. They should, at least, pay back those family later in the future in some way.
For the little amount of people that had to move for the construction of this dam, the end result is far greater. Being able to power 1/8th of china is FAR more important then moving a couple million poor pheasants.
If you are being forced to leave a certain area then you should get paid way more than what someones house is worth. the three gorges isn't a bad idea, and it is truly unfortunate that those people had their homes flooded but they should have figured that eventually living near a dam would turn out to be messy.
It's good that the energy levels can be get to a maximum level, but I don't think it's worth the risk of land slides and causing people to move from thier homes. It should be kept at a level that won't be such a threat -- even if it doesn't ever end up causing such damage.
its great that they have reached max capacity. so they can power whole city's. the problem is that the landslides could damage the dam and flood the lands below.
I think it was a great idea because I believe more people got good stuff out of it then bad yeah people had to move but for a Hugh dam to produce a lot of electricity and save the people in the city is better then pleasing the poor people

ReplyDeleteI think that the people should get paid for moving somewhere else instead of barley nothing.

ReplyDeleteits better to help the whole country and move it forward then holding it back because of some villages. yes its said but their lives will go on
ReplyDeleteits great that they have reached max capacity. so they can power whole city's. the problem is that the landslides could damage the dam and flood the lands below.
ReplyDeletei think they should not make dams that have such negative effects. i think it is way too drastic
ReplyDeleteRichie Dombrowski,
ReplyDeleteI think it was a great idea because I believe more people got good stuff out of it then bad yeah people had to move but for a Hugh dam to produce a lot of electricity and save the people in the city is better then pleasing the poor people
I think that its worth it if a lot of people have to move in order to save more people down the road while producing energy.
ReplyDeletei think it was a good idea because moving 1.4 million people is better than having the river overflow and kill thousdans of people each year
ReplyDeletethis would be a great idea because its either moving 1.4 million people or decreasing the worlds population 1.4 million
