AnnastaciaMP All we hear is about electricity and renewables, WATER IS MORE IMPORTANT, BUILD THE BLOODY DAMS. screw the renewables.

AnnastaciaMP All this water you would think the priority would be to build the dams ASAP preparing for the next flooding, next year.

AnnastaciaMP What will she call it next year 2 in 100. Maybe she should think about harvesting the water and irrigating drought areas
