Well if you distributed it amongst the poor it would only be 10.81 cents each so doubt that would make a stuff of difference to anyone

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

India is a very class-structured and status-orientated society - they're just having a crack at something to bring them international kudos. You can't just point the finger at them - it's no different to the whole planets attitude to the haves and have nots.

I bet they'll achieve something at least with that amount of coin. Strewth! If we shelled out 74 mill that'd barely cover the feasability studies, sustainability reports and sub-committees set up to jump through the environmental hoops :|
