The same judge who in September stopped construction on the Amazon's $11bn Belo Monte dam...has reversed his decision...and allowed it to go forward.
Judge Castro Martins said the company has shown that construction would not harm local fishing...or interfere with the flow of the Xingu river.
Brasil contends that the 11,000 megawatts of electricity from the dam is badly needed...despite flooding 500 sq kms of the Amazon forest....and displacing 50,000 indigena peoples.
