@maninfluenza

considering she is the foremost anti-dam activist in the world, it appears that you are the one who does not know what you're talking about. undammed, unpolluted rivers provide clean drinking water, irrigation, fishing ect but in a way that benefits everyone. a river that is allowed to flood naturally will replenish the soil in it's floodplain, which is where farming should take place.

Another obstacle to development - Medha Patkar should accept membership from CPI-M. Why do all these guys always oppose - oppose oppose oppose. anything development related is always opposed. they do not offer constructive suggestions, nor do they want to govern and accept responsibility. These idiots are flourishing under the protective umbrella of "democracy"

India does need renewable energy.

While studying Energy Engineering..... I can very well understand what she wants to say.....  Her points are quite realistic at least in context of the developing world......

Of course, she knows what she is talking about. For these people, alternative sources of energy are important options due to the very fact that dams displace their indigenous population, often the poorest and most destitute (and these numbers can be as high as dozens of millions of people).
