This tidbit of 2MB's legacy came up in one of my conversation classes and there was a stark divide between university-aged students and the older working-aged students. The uni group were full of pro-project hype while the older group were staunchly opposed, but no one could really articulate their reason why. So, I'm looking for a few articles that can describe it fairly succinctly (around 400 words).

The following article is from an environmental website discussing the issue. A simple Google search yielded dozens of links, you should try Googling things and save time typing here.

I am aware of Google. I did in fact Google this topic first and yes, I did see several articles. I posted here to get perhaps what might be more relevant information from people actually residing in the ROK. As I mentioned, I'm also aiming for an article of about 400 words for a classroom topic. That is why I asked about in a forum about teaching.

Regardless of your weak attempt at snark, thanks for your reply. Rolling Eyes

Actually, no snark intended, and yes I actually live in the ROK as a dual citizen. Obviously no one chose to respond for the very reason I stated in my reply. Got no beef with you, so don't make this out to be something it isn't.
