Taming the Darién Gap: The Latest LaRouche Scheme

 I am still getting emails from the LaRouche folks about their NAWAPA scheme and various other geo- and bioengineering projects. It's actually good to get these, since Maude Barlow and T. Boone Pickens haven't provided me with any good blog fodder latrely, although I hear that I should check out T. Boone.

By the way, check out the nice puff piece on Boone's Mesa Vista Ranch redecoration project in the current Architectural Digest. What? A puff piece in AD?

The latest LaRouche plan will tame the  Darién Gap (video below) with an extended NAWAPA project. I wonder if they have secured permission from all the countries they plan to 'develop'?

Here are two videos: a discussion with experts about NAWAPA and an interview about the Darién Gap project.

I pass this along strictly as a WaterWired public service.

This stuff makes the megawatershed folks look positively brilliant.

Oh, Maude, say something...please!

Fascinating ideas. What hubris! Environmentalism as an agent for Economic suppression! The audacity! Aren't we all better served by using our technology, like the Internet, to further our Celebrity worship and addictions to voyeurism and exhibitionism? I think so. It's much easier to wallow and fret about our short-term problems, than to utilize our energy towards long-term visions.
