> As of 2025, The Medog Dam, currently under construction on the Yarlung Tsangpo river in Mêdog County, China, expected to be completed by 2033, is planned to have a capacity of 60 GW, three times that of the Three Gorges Dam.[3]

Meanwhile, “drill baby drill!”

Can run the UK and have capacity left over that, if considered alone, would be worlds highest in current year 2025.

Does that cout the dams that flood valleys and displace thousands of people, plants, and animals from their homes?

Not really that surprising.

Authoritarianism has its draw backs obviously but one of its more efficient points is it can get things done if the will is at the top. Since China doesnt have a large domestic oil supply like the US it is a state security issue to get off oil as fast as possible.

It’s become clear that some form of top down total technocratic control like China has implemented is essential for pushing humanity forward.

It's amazing what a dictatorship can do when it's not captured by oil interests and Israel.
