SinoThere is an entire China Two Minutes Hate cottage industry of bad news for people who demand it. The Three Gorges Dam is three weeks away from collapsing and always will be. The newest one: Chinobyl because China has all these new nuclear power plants. One just went online near me. I love crashing their comment sections and mocking the creators because they're not in China. Imagine making videos about Paris, or Bratislava and you don't live there. You could, but why would anyone listen to you?
From what I've seen it actually wouldn't change the rotation speed that much. Despite comparisons to Three Gorges and media calling it a "mega-dam" its design is completely different from a single giant dam with a massive reservoir.
The Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon has a large bend and by digging tunnels through the mountains, water can shortcut a 2.2 km altitude drop in just 45 km, which gives it enormous amounts of kinetic energy which gets captured by five "dams" inside the tunnel. The mountains then function as a natural reservoir dam, so very little water gets lifted up, which is how the Three Gorges Dam slowed the Earth's rotation with its massive reservoir.
Imagine if we spent the last century focusing on this instead of fossil fuels and motor vehicles. So much nature destroyed for a mere century of production.
there's probably not many places on earth you can build this in particular. A lot, if not most of the easy hydro power sites are already utilized.
Imagine if they simply discussed the externalities of the fossil fuel industry the way they hem and haw over .000001% axial spin like holy shit it’s staggering they get away with this kind of narrative
I slowed the Earth's rotation.
You make me want to cry. But (in my opinion) at what cost?
I will slow it further.
