How Not to Build a Power Plant: a Cautionary Tale From Indonesia

PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) technicians perform maintenance work on a transmission tower in Pangkalan Susu, North Sumatra province, Indonesia, on Wednesday, April 8, 2015. For President Joko Widodo, a plan to build a $4 billion Japanese-Indonesian coal-fired power station presents a dilemma. He needs the electricity from new plants to power factories that would fuel growth and help rebalance the economy away from natural resources. At the same time, he needs to avoid alienating farmers and poor Indonesians who swept him into office last year. Photographer: Dimas Ardian/Bloomberg via Getty Images
