How Siberia will feed power-hungry China

Daniel Sandford visits Oleg Deripaska's dam near Kodinsk in Siberia
One of Russia's richest men, Oleg Deripaska, is investing billions of dollars in new hydro-power dams in remotest Siberia, to export the electricity to China and cash in on its booming economy. The BBC's Daniel Sandford visits his latest project.

To get to the Boguchanskaya dam in eastern Siberia, you have to fly for 90 minutes in a small twin-propeller aircraft from the nearest city.

I'm not sure I can even read that. Can we not leave some part of Mother Earth alone? It's no wonder things
are so screwed up.

You guys should come up to Alaska sometime - you can enjoy your twin-prop flights to any number of destinations off the road system here.

We are not learning anything from all the tragedies that happen to us. Incredible how we think that we can take this earth destruction further and further...

And yet we keep having more kids than our numerical selves.
Two parents, two kids - population static
Two parents, three kids - population increase 50%
Two parents, four kids - population doubles!

China's Three Gorges Dam was way worse.

Displaced more people and drowned a lot of historic stuff.
