They are powered by charcoal, and the cheapest way to obtain it is by chopping down the surrounding forests and burning the trees. Environmentalists fear that Grande Carajas will repeat the dismal experience of the state of Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil, where pig-iron production consumed nearly two-thirds of the state's forests...

That is exactly what developers have decided to do at Huggin Hill. Stacks of tiles from the 2,000-year-old central- heating system will be covered with foam and wood before the whole site is filled in with sand; a planned two-story basement will be built at another location so that only a small section of a Roman retaining wall will need to be destroyed.
