"Think before you open your mouth," says engineer Lars Jong-Il. "While Socialist Mainlands 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 Socialist Mainlands? 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."

As you can see, it's rather strange. What's wrong with it and what can I do?
