This project clearly proposes an irreparable blot on the landscape and the psyche of the country for many thousands of years, all in the name of promoting over-consumption in the name of short-term financial profit. Whereas your term may be four years or seventy years, the damage to the land and the understanding of the public will continue for a thousand times longer. A similar sum of money and energy invested in education, particularly that of politicians and mutually self-appointed officials, would allow the area to survive long enough for future generations, wiser than us, to decide its fate. There is no argument that damage will be caused. There is no suggestion that this development will advance the higher development of mankind. There is, therefore, no valid motive to blight this particular area of the world.
