At any rate, wouldn't any CO2 from rotting vegitation be temporary anyway? It's not like hydro is an ongoing source of CO2 production, the way scavaging tar sands or pumping oil year after year is. Anyway, here's a link to the wiki page about the dam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_gorges_dam).
