Environmental Dangers

When I was in Bali, last September, there was a big fuss in Lovina about a new Electricity Plant that was planned to be built in the area. The local people have been protesting on the Jalan Raya (yep, another one) Singaraja Seririt.

Is there anyone (Bert?) who can give me an update on the status of this 'project'?

The main objection was - besides horizont pollution - that people expect many ships to anchor offshore delivering oil. If that would be the case, the Bali Sea will get (more) polluted, and the dolphins might decide to stay away :cry:

And before the "Kantor Bupati Buleleng" too. The pics:

(Quite exciting to take pictures in a heated atmosphere, some of the guys asked wich side I was on, with anger in their eyes)

As far as I know, the latest news is that the powerplant is going to be build elsewhere, further from Lovina, dunno where...
