Why are environmentalists not crying out about the canal project proposed for Nicaragua?



I think you probably know why…






This project is being ramrodded without any environmental concerns…

I am not being hypocritical myself. Nicaraguans are entitled to make decisions to develop their country. I think it is possible to build a canal without trashing the wild areas of Nicaragua or spoiling Lake Nicaragua, but not the way this project is being done. But what I find especially contemptible is the silence from those celebrities who lecture us on ANWR and Barack Obama (who had no problem vetoing Keystone Pipeline today but has been strangely silent on this project).
