When one travels to Central & South America to those awesome beaches to catch those waves, stay at a quaint palm-frond hut in the rainforest, where one can even login to the electronics, remember, all uses electricity. Think of the cost to the indigenous people who live there, or used to live there peacefully for centuries, in their own simple way like the Ngabe of Panama, who don't use electricity or running water.
The following 2 links tell the sad story, fueled by increasing demand to provide power for relocating, affluent migrants and tourists. The Panamanian government's disregard for its indigenous people, this is the 3rd hydro project and more to be built to sell excess power and carbon credits to the UN.
If you haven't ever read Algezeera, don't be afraid. The former BBC reporters are doing an awesome job, and have the moxie to 'tell it like it is.' One should contemplate how one's own inadvertent trip to the undeveloped areas, beautiful, inexpensive, hospitable and quaint as they are, affects those who live there, and have no means of moving elsewhere, and who do not use electricity, or make other demands on the system.
Is this what you think how we come in peace in the 21st century?
