:devil I wonder how much time it will take before the Three Gorges Dam in China will be complete,all I know is that there are going to be a whole lot of people being relocated and alot of China's history will be under water.

In the process of getting ready to move I just found the "Spirit of Mega" issue of WIRED magazine ('98), which featured a piece on the Three Gorges project. Fascinating stuff. As I recall, a main point of controversy around the project was that it's only projected to be functional for about 40 years, due to the extreme sludginess of the water. Wow.
