West Seti to China Three Gorges

Tuesday, August 7th, 2012

..................................................................................................................

The government has decided to grant China Three Gorges Corporation (CTG) permission to proceed on the 750MW West Seti Hydropower Project.

Earlier in March 2012, the Natural Resources and Means Committee of the now-defunct Constituent Assembly and the Investment Board had raised questions over a MOU signed with China Three Gorges International (CTGI), a subsidiary of CTG, and all progress was stalled.

A 22-member team consisting of the Energy Minister Posta Bahadur Bogati, Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai’s economic advisor Rameshwor Khanal and acting director of the Investment Board Radhes Pant will travel to China on Tuesday for talks with CTG.

Melissa Chalmers: Regarding the eagle with the transmitter, the reason it might not be doing so well is because of the transmitter that is strapped to its back. Same as mobile phone towers and mobile phones that are making humans ill, the transmitter on the eagle would be giving off radiation constantly, day in and day out. Because it is attached to the bird, it would never have a reprieve from these signals. The safety code for these devices are based on thermal heating of a large human. Smaller animals are not covered under the safety code as they cannot thermally regulate themselves the same as a human being. No thermal health effects are not being considered at all. Please take this transmitter off this eagle and give it a chance at having a normal rest of its life. Melissa Chalmers Executive Director of EPIC Electromagnetic Pollution Illnesses Canada Foundation
M Cotton: Congratulations to Yeti Airlines for pioneering such forward looking initiatives in the Nepal corporate sector. Let’s hope this inspires others involved in industry and commerce to follow similar approaches. M Cotton
Chris Avison: Well said Seth. Ed Hillary was the Patron of the first successful Irish expedition to climb Mount Everest in May 1993. The leader was Dawson Stelfox, who is Patron of Irish Nepalese Educational Trust (INET), a charity born out of that expedition. Today, several schools and community buildings are up and running, together with a few more in the pipeline. Along with this small scale support, INET encourages environmental and health education. There is no doubt that Ed Hillary was the spark that set this alight, along with the enthusiasm of the Irish climbers and their Nepalese friends who travelled with them. Of course, none of these things are possible without the generosity of the friendly and hard working Nepalese themselves.

All fighting communists, maoists should be voted OUT they created the problem no one mended potholes now lets say time is UP> Future is for new generations, make a simbolic funeral for all current politicians, keep them as advisor but eough is enough since 20 years.

Bhumsen: Lets assume Nepal got all the money. Then politicians and government officers will siphon the money anyway. Poor Nepali will never get their hands in the fund. In the name of development, funds will dry out. It is better if donors dont send money. Nepali needs to learn to be independent. Down with Corruption.
