So many things are presenting themselves to me!! I just bumped into an old friend who is part of a group that is trekking across Bhutan to find out what Gross National Happiness (GNH) really means. Bhutan is on my must see list. They are going through some dynamic changes, including trying to figure out a way to be financially self sustaining. One of the ideas for becoming self sustaining is to dam up the rivers to create energy. They have already allowed some Indian companies to build several hydro electric dams. These dams didn't receive Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) credits, which would help Bhutan to meet part of their emission reduction targets under the Kyoto Protocol. It was speculated that India finished the dams before the review and comment period because the construction may not have met the standards needed for credits. I'm still trying to research what really happened.
