(Portuguese) Pare Belo Monte: Não à Mega Usina na Amazônia
Antonio C. S. Rosa, TMS Editor – TRANSCEND Media Service, 7 Feb 2011

A hidrelétrica iria inundar pelo menos 400.000 hectares da floresta, impactar centenas de quilômetros do Rio Xingu e expulsar mais de 40.000 pessoas, incluindo comunidades indígenas de várias etnias que dependem do Xingu para sua sobrevivência. 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.
