I think that the whole country would benefit from this project because it is supplying 90% of its power to China, but on the other hand, they would be building it on one of the world's top biodiversity hotspots and they want to preserve it. They would also lose 766 square kilometers of forests and cause damage to Burma's key river system. I think that the author was against it but not trying to say it in a harsh way because the author did give some good traits to the project. I'm glad that they decided to postpone the dam until 2015 because who knows if there could be a large scale natural disaster that could happen in these years to come.
