Teacher Yu is someone who is prepared to speak the truth

Recently in China there has been a lot of discussion on the topic of "special interest groups ". Teacher Yu stands with the NGO in criticizing the benefiting of corporations, and this is a wonderful point of view. However, the problem lies in the fact that we should question how long and how thoroughly the NGO can control the special interest groups? China News Weekly ran an article analyzing who are those special interest groups - it's a great article, feel free to look:

the anti-dam interests also hide behind a curtain  

We should always look behind the curtains when faced by loud voices with strong views. And the NGOs who act against dams are no exception.

Hydropower from dams is still the largest source of renewable energy in the world. As such it is an obstacle to those who are trying to market other forms such as wind and solar, both of which are far less efficient and far more expensive. It is also important for countries that have used all their hydro capacity to prevent their competitors from getting access to this cheap, clean energy.

So let us look at who is funding the anti-dam NGOs, who is paying for their megaphones, who is campaigning to stop poor countries from accessing a form of energy that has helped the rich world to get where it is and we may understand their loud voices better.....

China is doing a great service, throughout the world, by building dams to help poor people to achieve their aspirations for cheap, clean and reliable energy. It should continue to do so.

Seismic Precautions are Inadequate  

As a geophysicist, I consider the likelihood that the filling of the Zipingpu Dam immediately prior to the quake, actually triggered the 2008 Great Sichuan Earthquake, is quite high. Clearly the very high levels of seismic elastic energy stored in the vicinity of the dam should have been competently estimated and should have precluded construction of the dam. In seismically active areas like Wenchuan, the rocks are highly fractured and the rapid changes in hydraulic pressure produced by the filling of dams is efficiently transmitted long distances to fault zones that are on the brink of rupture and the lubricating effects of the increased water pressure can easily create a much larger rupture than would have occurred without the dam effects. How many dams would have to be built in China to balance the economic losses created by this one mega-disaster?

The increase in income does not match the reduction in expenditure

Among sources of electric power, hydropower still holds a proportionally large percentage to the extent that a few years ago some places in southwest of China would definitely experience electricity cuts in the winter. Around the Beijing area the lack of water definitely presents a real problem.
But while we are trying to find a solution to solve the problem of total capacity, have we thought about the effectiveness of the utilization ratio? The seriousness of the waste of hydropower at the moment appears to be perfectly obvious. It's alarming that interest groups seem to forego larger benefits for small profits.
