Here, they are looking at the "Pebble Mine" disaster in waiting... they want to build a dam encompassing three mountains for a "settling pond" which will make the Seven Gorges Dam either the second third or fourth biggest dam in the World, depending on how you count it.

But the Pebble deal will be built on 3,500' of tundra sponge... no way it could undercut, right?

But enganeers done figgered it out and plan to dewater an area bigger than several states down to that 3500' depth so it will squash down in there nicely. Of course there are a number of World Class rainbow fisheries there that will be completely dewatered in the process, but what could that hurt, right?

The Teton washout is exactly what I predict will happen if they decide to pull that stunt...
