Thailand opposes lower Mekong dams !!

I choose this story because the dams which China plan to build may affect a dangerous problem to our world. More than 100 representatives from many country made a meetind to delay this project because Mekong river is meant for many countries that are Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. This river are also meant for every creature that live in or around the waterway. China's building the hydropower dams will cause a lot of problems to all of creature around the river and the world.

Thailand's representatives have opposed the Chinese governmeny plan to build 12 hydropower dams on the lower Mekong river because the dams would destroy the river's ecosystem. More than 100 representatives from Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and observers from China attended were make a meeting to discuss four options ; to scrap all the dam projects, to delay the projects for study of the possible impact, to build a dam as pilot project, and to move ahead with plans to build 12 dams. All of the representatives have the same oppinion that the very end of this international water would be affected the most and there are several other alternative energy sources that can be utilised.

  • I think China should not build the dams because China was build the dams for produce an energy for themselves and it's not fair to other country. This dams not only affect people or animal that live around the river line, but also destroy the river's ecosystem. China's government should listen to these representatives or reconsider about this plan in neutrally way. For me, I don't agree with this plan. I think there is a lot of problems more than a benefit. Although China is the second powerful country in the world, they should do the thing that cause a dangerous problem to the world. They should reconsider about this plan before it's too late.
