The total mass of the dam even when it is full of water will not throw off the earth's rotation or change the eliptical orbit or the period of rotation, the Krakatoa volcanic eruption was many times greater in displacement than that. Even though millions of Chineese citizens were forcibly displaced and many species of flora and fauna were erased from the face of the earth, those things cannot be undone. The real tragedy will be when the three gorges dam comes online with an output of many gigawatts of cheap electrical power for the chineese factories. This will have a significant negative impact on the economies of the rest of the world as if it wasn't already hard enough to find a job in this country. The only positive aspect of this monstrosity is that it will reduce temporarily, green house gas emissions until the chineese outstrip our economy and start driving more autos.
