I don't think Lao Gov. understand about dam, how much would damage to fishes or nature surrounding the dam, what about the Lao people who are making a living as fisherman and I don't think Lao Gov can compensate the loss of those people who live along side the Mekong river. we can build power plant in many ways and it does not need to build the dams. Lao Gog. needs to discover/explore real hard and finding the truth about the dams.
