Arguments against the usage of dams and counter arguments

An idea before it’s time is a rebellion Building of dams have invited criticisms since the idea of hydroelectricity was first expressed. Itscritics have believed that dams are perhaps a boon looking bane for the mankind. The arguments they give are baseless and do not hold much ground. It’s almost like a game of cards, where in for every jack of criticism; there is a queen of advantage.

Loss of land and reallocation of the human population around the area of reservoirs, they say, is a move that is regressive in its own sense. But, the people who say this, need much more than a reality check. The electricity generated by the hydroelectric plant is not being used by aliens…isn’t it? It’s those very people who enjoy the fruits of this great innovation. And just besides this advantage of electricity, they get water for drinking and irrigation. People need to get real.

And when this argument falls flat on their face, they claim loss of the ecosystem mean, these people have a lost of vague arguments…! Are your ready for no development just because you want to preserve nature. Fine then, you stop using all the luxuries that you use which are inherently of a development nature. Governmental bodies and Ministry of Environment approve these projects and thus..you, you and you sir, have no right to act as a hinderance in this great Indian developmental story, of which, dams are a significant part of.
What? You still want more?
No!
Wise you are!
Allow e to comment, but the people who criticise this mammoth phenomenon of hydroelectricity are little more than environmental extremists who use pseudoscientific agitprop to scuttle the development of this nation!
