I have just done detailled articles about Inga dams and projects on the French version. The 39,000 MW project is not Inga III (only 4,500 MW) but the Grand Inga project.

I removed the last paragraph as I felt it was not suitable for an encylopaedia due to its editorial nature. It read:-

"The power grids will not reach the hundreds of millions of Africa's rural poor. The Inga project departs from the Millennium Development Goals of small-scale sustainable energy projects adopted by 191 countries at the UNMillennium Summit. Megaprojects like this often imply social, economic and environmental disruption of people's livelihoods, lands and culture." Booshank 21:31, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
