    Yeah today I heard that in about 10 years if china keeps this growth rate he is going to suffer an energy crisis. Its demand of energy is growing far more faster than the energy offer, even with importations from other countries. Thats why they are expending a lot of money developing the fision plants.

    This case resembles in a way the case we have here. They want to build a high speed train to link the 3 major cities in the region and take it to the border with france. Actually the project is calculated to cost 4180 million € (amount that will grow considerably as they predict) that is like the 60% of the budget for infraestructures and they estimate that only the 3-5% of population will use it. It goes trhough a natural park, croses 2 little towns and a lot of things more and almost 80% of the sindicates and empresaries say that it is a bad idea. But at the parlament they have agreed to start it on summer (even when there is still a resolution from bruselas idle that could say that it cant be done). The more I search about it the more I get astonished with its nonsense. It just seems a way to get rich because they gave the construction lincense to their own enterprises. And here ppl is very worried about the bird flu and who will win the world soccer cup. We deserve what we get.

    Edit:

    They are making trade deals with Russia and Canada the 2 most resource filled countries. I don't see a downfall.
    I dindt say anything about a downfall or economy crack (and even less about trades). I just stated what seems a fact for the people who knows about this issue. Here we are growing at a "slow" pace of 2-3% per year and they are already talking about energy shortages in summer. Just read better next time.
