Every June/July there is a flurry of new articles in the mainstream about how it is going to collapse and tens of millions will drown and how it is "different" to the last time. Evidence usually being things like blurry pictures where there is some deformation in the dam. I'm a layman but I am pretty sure this is working as intended
The comments were usually about how bloodthirsty and callous the CCP is. But I've just done a search to try and find examples and I see that the discourse is much better now 🥳
I don't know what reddit thinks about it and I don't care. That said, dams fucking suck and completely fuck up the ecology of the area. Just build more nuclear if you need power.
Dams fucking rule, and while nuclear rules too you can't just ignore the ecological impact of uranium mining like that. Ideally both would feature heavily in a sustainable energy infrastructure.
Agreed. Just read Eager by Ben Goldfarb. Basically says beavers are the second most important mammal after humans in terms of determining US ecology, and its a crime that they were slaughtered to be worn in Europe. They're coming back strong tho
Whatever you do, do not look at any of the threads about the Three Gorges Dam
It's a pretty big reminder that you're still on reddit

Dams definitely don't fucking rule, they're one of the most invasive ways of producing power conceivable...
What about bever dams
Only cool dams, beavers are based and I'd prefer to be a beaver than whatever the fuck I am now.

You know you can have a little ecological damage, your soul isn't damned if you do, we're trying to save the planet not recreate Eden
