Three Gorges dam generates power equivalent to 15 nuclear reactors
Amazing piece of engineering...
!!! ALL HAIL GLORIOUS PEOPLES DAM OF CHINA, FURRIE OPERATIONAL !!!
...The dam has created a reservoir stretching up to 600 kilometres (370 miles)
through the scenic Three Gorges region (which is criss-crossed by geological
faultlines)

too bad the design flaws will reduce its power output due to the reservoir silting in. poor russian/chinese design.

@jgaller29 Silt buildup in the reservoir?

Why they usually do multi stage designs here I think instead of one big wall. 70% of our power is hydro, nukes are banned here.

@N4CR Shanghai should also be a bit worried, when their sedimentary plain is no longer replentished with sediment during the floods. Don't tweak mother nature.

Wow now that is a side effect :o
Could create localised stress around faults in the area too as the mass shifts...

How many hundreds of thousands of people were displaced to build this thing?

Why not just perfect and build thorium reactors, and let the rivers run free?

China makes some real good shit nowadays, you just gotta find it and pay the price. Most people are too stupid to pay the extra price for reliable products, so it's still uncommon to see.

China's dams are worrying. I read an article once that said if Three Gorges ever failed majorly due to an earthquake, it would kill twice as many people as the 04 Indian Ocean tsunami.
