China's $100BN Himalayan Mega Dam

Показать описание

In a remote corner of the Tibetan Plateau, surrounded by some of the world’s tallest mountains, China is planning to build the World's Biggest Mega Dam! A project this size could change the geopolitical power balance across South Asia… if the earthquakes don’t get in the way.

What do you think, will China actually built this insane Mega Dam? 🤔 We hope you enjoy this in-depth special episode, thank you for all your support! ☺

Wrong Map, Arunachal Pradesh is part of India, These fake maps are mainly circulated by Chinese govt.

At some point we're all going to have to sit down and agree that something being visible by satellite doesn't mean much anymore. My wristwatch can be seen by satellite. 😂

China when they see most steep river with high hydroelectric potential in tibetan wilderness: damm

Movie 2012 anyone? Where China build a dam in the Himalaya's to secretly construct arks for the survival of humanity after the massive Yellowstone eruption and following poleshift 😂😂

"Enough electricity to power the UK for an entire year". wut. This makes no sense.

This is forcing india to build a new dam in Arunachal Pradesh to make sure they can manage water flows

Who's seeing this after the recent floods in China?

The incident in Sikkim was on 4th October 2023. Writing from Sikkim. The implications are still going on. In 2020, China lost as many as 43 soldiers, but you didn't mention it!

Many of reports regards to this project fail to notice that monsoons and the rainfall / run off they bring happens downstream of China's territory at a much lower altitude.

The title to this video should refer to a Mega Power Project, no Mega Dam.

2:10 the map shows the Indian state of Arunachal and two UTs JK and Ladakh as per conflicted region which is not. And the conflicted regions are shown part of either China or Pakistan.

0:15 "...power the UK for an entire year..." I suspect that the phrase "for an entire year" is unnecessary. Presumably the dam produces enough energy in one year to provide the UK's electricity for one year. In other words, the two "one year" cancel out and you could just state that it could "power the UK" period. The 'Meaningless And Unnecessary Units Of Time' error is very common with reporters and narrators.

so 2000 meters drop would be 200 bars of pressure differential. that's going to be very challenging tbh...

These specific mountains are uplifting at a rate of one meter per century.

Out if everything, I'd imagine that'd pose the great problems and risk, especially for building and maintaining a 40 km long tunnel.

*an illegal dam in an illegally annexed country*

Me: I guess that you can say…
My friend: DONT SAY IT!
Me: god dam

What does it mean to power the UK for one year? If it can power the UK then it can do so permanently, not just for one year.

The US is learning the hard way, right now, that tunnels for water create cavitation that damages the tunnel.

I’ve said for decades that China’s interest and stranglehold on Tibet is “Water Related”.
They’ve already managed to cut down the volume in several rivers that are critical for the Mekong River and Bangaladesh and NE India.
If they continue to harness the headwaters of so many rivers it WILL become a serious geopolitical problem.
