China’s $100BN world’s riskiest Himalayan Mega Dam youtu.be/vxMlra9Hp74
China's obsession with engineering is legendary. Over the past 70 years, they've shattered records across industries, outbuilding and outengineering much of their competition. When it comes to hydropower, China stands tall with an astounding 87,000 dams. With a population of 1.4 billion, water management is vital. To fuel their rapid development, they’ve even redirected major rivers. Hydro mega-projects? They’ve done plenty. But what they’re working on now makes even the colossal Three Gorges Dam look like a minor feat.
The plans for this new project? Absolutely wild. One original idea was to use a nuclear weapon to blast through obstacles. Yes, you heard that right. Thankfully, saner heads prevailed in the Chinese government, and they scrapped that explosive plan. So, what's this new Mega Dam that's causing such a stir? Let's dive into the details!
