Losing Paradise to Hydropower

After almost a month I finally got around to putting together the story on the Futaleufu hydropower project. The proposed dam on the Futa has been around for years, but this story gives an up to date (as of January 2007) account of what is going on in the Valley and also how people can help. There is also some news about a new rapid forming in Inferno Canyon and includes some pics and stories of kayaking the river while I was there. If you have not heard of the Futaleufu Valley in Chile it is definitely worth checking out. Click here to go to the story, or click the link labled "Futaleufu" on this blog.

I found this quote the other day and thought it was pretty amusing to think about after the whole Gold Link story Michael and David have been putting together...it is by that crazy spaniard who sailed the ocean blue in 1492!

"Gold is a treasure, and he who possesses it does all he wishes to in this world, and succeeds in helping souls into paradise."
