@@blazer9547 The Clint Eastwood picture while being a pusillanimous male, you love to see it! So I need to prove his ignorance about worldly affairs? Hasn't this channel already talked about the dam? Someone on CZcams has.
so, fact one...this is in Ethopia on the Blue Nile. Costas are estimated to be US$5B. 20% of the costs have come from a Chinese bank. as of today it is supposed to be 90% completed. Building this damn could (and probably will) affect the Nile as a whole and so impact cultivation in both Sudan and Egypt and may cause unrest in the region.
Great, now all that water in the reservoir can just evaporate instead of being used. I guess solar is too hard to use in the continent with the most sun in the fkn universe.
Ah yes, dams, something that causes no major environmental damage whatsoever. One that big with that much water behind it has the potential to make the St Francis dam disaster look like a spilled bathtub. Ethiopia has decent safety regulations but it's still one failure mode away from international catastrophe.
Thi huge dam cover the area bigger than london will store enough water only 2 days before it dry out if it is used to drive only 5 three gorges's turbine size (72000000 MW) . So not a huge dam
Title is like saying Asia is building a megastructure when it’s just China building its own dam in their own territory

"Dams suck" used to be a common environmentalist graffito. Its blunt vulgarity is funny in a way, but it seems completely true.
What is the impact of daming the water behind the dam and down river?
When the Netherlands is building a dam we don’t say Europe is building a dam. So why do we say Africa is building a dam when it’s Ethiopia who’s building a dam?
because Europe broke to many countries because it want but Africa by will of colonizers
Because we all know how great the three gorges dam was… I guess the biggest problem was it wasn’t big enough
So called economic miracle? Say you hate African progress already
It’s gonna wobble the rotation of the earth.

Keep building dams to slow sea levels rising
Stop with the war mongering. The dam can be a sign for cooperation between Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia.
For many it's offensive because black Africa is developing
It's called GERD and its not for all africa but ethiopia
Such a condescending title. Its literally called The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.
It's not condescending, just inaccurate.
Thats actually a chinese dam, and egypt is going to blow it up.... rightfully...
Happy for etiopia its their water they dhould do whats in their interest
I know. Africa is not. The title is for those geographically challenged. Just makes it easier.😂
