Problem with link

Hi,

The second link refering to an article on AfricaGoodNews doesn't work. Though the article is still available on: http://www.africagoodnews.com/infrastructure/energy/485-grand-inga-dam-to-power-up-africa-.html

I tried to edit the page, but it didn't work :(

sorry, i'm new with wikipedia editing... (and i am absolutely not sure about how this page will come out ^^)

Need? Fish?

Is there a need for this much power? Is there any fish that will be impacted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.194.192.100 (talk) 19:43, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is always a need for more power in Sub-Saharan Africa. A significant portion of the power will probably be used for industry. The Congo River has over 680 fish species and many have yet to be discovered or identified because the river hasn't been extensively explored. The dam will probably have an impact on fish migration. The security situation in the DRC is pretty poor now so I don't think construction will begin in the near-term.--NortyNort (Holla) 20:11, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

                     Thanks for the response! I can't believe this potential project doesn't get more attention.
