It's a project that sticks out like a sore thimb, I think when energy is needed at the cost of relocated people I know the story as hydro lines pass through farm lands of my county without the knowledge of the people that live there. Projects that stick out they refuse to get covered dumped into the dustbin of historical accounts you and I are the accountants we try to balance our books and the state imposes its own to the wiles of the conglomerates lush offices force emaciated residents to move to new lands with little compensation. Relocate is the poker chip of the game and when you are the weaker, you do as told except for a handful of activists who decry the project as a shambles when results of other projects are inferior and lands are still poorly irrigated how can humanity not cry fowl and take a stand?
