Criticism of the project has been written off as technological pessimism. But in fact, critics of the project are not deriding the science or the technology, but are arguing for a reduction in the negative consequences of such projects. Those who build public works should take this responsibility upon themselves, but they do not. Then again, the engineers are not the ones making the final decisions.
可惜，今天對工程的批評，往往被一竿子打成「技術悲觀主義」，而其實並無所謂的技術悲觀主義，因為對工程的討論，目的不在否定科學技術，而是希望減低負面影響，這部分其實更應內化為工程人員的責任，只不過，工程決策常常也不在工程人員手上。
