I once watched a great video about the Three Gorges Dam that debunked a lot of bullshit reporting about its engineering. Sadly I didn't bookmark it, and any search on YouTube related to the dam is just going to pull up Three Gorges Dam: The MOST EVIL Building in the World Is ABOUT TO COLLAPSE.

Does anyone have any good resources on the subject?

    Outside of general environmental impact of a dam and creating an artificial lake, why is it evil? Like besides providing electricity, I'm pretty sure the river its built on is known for dangerous and relatively frequent floods, which the dam mitigates!

          I refuse to wear condoms because they could easily be Chinese spy condoms. Why would they need a tip unless there's a microphone in it? Even cutting that off doesn't help because it could be in the rim.
