Coal still supplies a lot of electric power needs in the world.

Important thing is storage and irrigation too, will also help prevent any sort of floods, with many other advantages. A good step indeed.

But if pmln does it, all that is ignored and just based on costs we say "kick backs!"

Any examples? PMlN involves itself in corruption. Costs of the projects subsequently rises, any reason why they rise. Then there is a debate of giving projects to favored companies. You know how much damage flood does to Pakistan almost every year, such projects are always welcome. What was your point in bringing PMLN in this whole debate? why am i even wasting my time.

These projects are crucial in recharging depleting ground water too
