Read paragraph 9.
Belo Monte is already an undeniable fact. The vast construction site is like
something out of Mordor-an immense wall of stone, steel and concrete that
towers above a blasted plain teeming with trucks, bulldozers, and cranes. The
turbine housings, which are half-complete, resemble the jagged ramparts of a
fort. Here and there by the side of the road, felled trees are tied up in bundles,
like captured prisoners. And as night falls, the usual Amazonian chorus of
insects, frogs and birds is drowned out by engines, alarms, and clanking earth
movers.
