Shocking Revelations At Hydro-Quebec: The Environmental And Legal Consequences Of The Quebec-New York Power Line, Ian Mark Paregol
Penn State International Law Review
When parties contract to build the world's largest hydroelectric project, upon whom should the burden fall to mitigate the costs to the environment resulting from the lack of foresight and research into the effects of the projects?
