Power-Strapped Uganda Could Create Super-Dam - Mariann Sæther

As the United States starts to tear down many of the dams that have bogged its rivers for the better part of the last century, many energy-strapped countries look to dam their free-flowing rivers. Kayaker and river advocate Mariann Sæther recently paddled Uganda's White Nile River, partly for the adventure and partly to share the river's beauty with the broader world. Sæther explains that, although the river will provide needed power to Uganda, the dam could hurt the local economy.
