Something wrong with this issue:

"Don't Dam Our Rivers, Damnit!" Say Protesters
The Issue

A group of Greenpeace protesters have called for an end to a government proposal to begin damming rivers in Argheraal to increase water supplies and generate power.
The Debate

1. "Don't build dams!" shouts protestor Pip Mombota through a microphone heavily afflicted with feedback. "Do you know how many fish die in other dams in [Error evaluating "region->query('name')", type eval: Can't locate object method "query" via package "region" (perhaps you forgot to load "region"?) at (eval 229) line 1.

Have you heard of the adverse effects building a dam has on the surrounding environment? Dam up this flood of dams, damn it!"
[Accept]

2. "Think before you open your mouth," says engineer Pete Frederickson. "While Argheraal may have to pay the price in animal diversity, as well as adverse effects on the environment, do we really want fossil-fuel based plants polluting Argheraal? If you use your common sense, I think you'll find that damming some rivers would be a good idea. Plus, think of how much the economy would benefit from all the jobs these projects would create."
[Accept]

The Government Position

The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue.

If you wish, you may simply dismiss this issue.
