In 2011, a government commission in Chile approved a $7 billion project. The money was for the construction of five dams across two rivers. Supporters of the dams said that Chile needed them. The dams would help the country grow out of poverty. Opponents, however, pointed out that the dams would have damaged untouched wilderness areas. In 2012, the Supreme Court in Chile blocked the project. The court wanted more research into the dams' impact. Opponents of the dams believe that Chile should develop other forms of energy. The year-round sun of its northern deserts is ideal for producing solar power. Chile could also harness wind power from the gusts along its long Pacific coast.
