Chinese premier reprieves "Grand Canyon of the Orient"

Don't know if anyone else has been following the story of what would have been one of the largest dams ever built, on the Nu River in China, but it has possibly been cancelled, a cause for much rejoicing amongst environmental activists if it is true. An earlier super-dam project in China, the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze, has begun operating despite much global environmentalist and domestic opposition. But this time, the government seems to be prepared to at least listen to concerns.
