Desecration of Paradise

Take a look at these photos, taken in Mindanao.

Looking one way . . . 

. . . . looking the other
The Philippines is absolutely full of idyllic beaches like this with crystal clear seas and endless sands.

However, this one is different in that it's going to be the site of a huge coal fired power station. 

I don't feel bad about being part of the construction of these power stations (not in the same way I felt bad about building a huge casino) as electricity brings massive benefits but I do sometimes wonder if other, less salubrious places could be found to build them?
