O projeto de R$30 bilhões é tão economicamente arriscado que o governo precisou usar fundos de pensão e financiamento público para pagar a maior parte do investimento. Apesar de ser a terceira maior hidrelétrica do mundo, ela seria a menos produtiva, gerando apenas 10% da sua capacidade no período da seca, de julho a outubro.

Cheat Neutral
TMS Editor – TRANSCEND Media Service, 5 Jul 2010

The idea is a spoof on the current policy of carbon offsetting. In the same way that we shouldn’t be able to pay money to neutralize the damage done to our relationships, the site’s creators argue, we should not be able to pay money to offset our carbon polluting. The website’s satirical purpose is to “make it seem acceptable to cheat on your partner. In the same way, carbon offsetting tries to make it acceptable to carry on emitting excess carbon.”
