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

Farmers and fishermen participate in a demonstration protesting a planned coal-fired power station in Ponowareng village in Batang regency, Central Java province, Indonesia, on Wednesday, April 29, 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
