No decision is so fine as to not bind us to its consequences.
No consequence is so unexpected as to absolve us of our decisions.
Not even death.

The Itaipu dam on the Paraná River located on the border between Brazil and Paraguay.
Wikipedia says it's the largest operational hydroelectric power plant in the world, but I don't see how it can be that as the Chinese Three Gorges Dam has a larger generating capacity (and is going to be even bigger).
It has been given several awards, e.g. it was chosen by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World
Edit: Hey, I was writing my answer when you gave that clue!
