However, the venture has attracted considerable opposition, with critics lambasting it on environmental grounds and pointing to the all too often ignored alternative of conservation. In additions, opponents of the project criticize Chile's energy policy for reinforcing the country's age-old development model based on the export of raw materials. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
