Neither no country nor organization has a right of veto to prevent Laos to build the dams across the mekong river for its own interests.The MRC's decisions and resolutions are of consultative nature without any legal binding.The hydroelectric dams will provide the safer and cheaper energy to those in need. Without the hydroelectric dams Vietnam and Thailand will likely turn to nuclear plants.We need to keep in mind the deadly accidents in chernobyl and fukushima.

Building another Dam within Laos’s territory is a major disaster decision. Lao already have two Dams and those two Dams already been destroyed so many landscapes, natural habitats and displace 1000 families from their hometown.
