Has China gone too far?

in #steem7 years ago

China has been building what is likely the largest hydro electric damn known to our planet. It seems that building something of this proportion, holding back this amount of water; that they're going to be changing the way that our planet rotates.

It would appear that they've been working hard to create the greatest work of our century. But is it really so great?

Will the change in earth's rotation have greater impacts than we know? Should we as humans be playing with this scale of mechanisms?

How will our planet react to this scratch on her back?

And why wouldn't they have implemented these other types of hydro turbines which do not interrupt the flow of the waterways?

Personally, I'm of the mind that we don't have any business doing this kind of thing on this planet. There are so many better ways of producing these energies. Which may not be of the same scale, and proportionately will not have as high a payout. But if we can harness green energy, without this type of a footprint; it's going to benefit our planet and species in far greater ways.

There's really no need to be as disruptive a parasite as we are. It doesn't seem like we are moving in the right direction as a species. But, that's my opinion.

To the question in your title, my Magic 8-Ball says:

As I see it, yes

Hi! I'm a bot, and this answer was posted automatically. Check this post out for more information.

Throwing off the rotation of the planet off a bit isn't a big deal as it sounds. the hoover damn does it. and has been studied for decades.

What worries me is The Chinese communist party Admitting to structural problems

When the CCP admits to a problem it is worse than the state run media
lets on.

Holy shit! The magic8ball is freaking real!
