Chile approves $7 billion Patagonia dam project
Chilean government commission approves five dams on the Baker and Pascua rivers in Aysen after a three year environmental review despite opposition. The plan could deliver 2.75 gigawatts within 12 years, spurring jobs and infrastructure while risking displacement, wildlife habitat, and eco tourism in a sparsely populated region. Public protests erupt in Coyhaique and Santiago with clashes, tear gas, and police response as supporters and opponents gridlock over Chile’s energy future.
