"China to build historic Yarlung Zangbo River hydropower project in Tibet"https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1208405.shtml"According to the report, the mainstream of the Yarlung Zangbo River has the richest water resources in Southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, about 80 million kilowatt hours (kWh), while the 50-kilometer section of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon has 70 million kWh that could be developed with a 2,000-meter drop, which equals more than three Three Gorges power stations.
Tibet has about 200 million kWh of water resources, accounting for 30 percent of the total in China.
Yan said that the hydropower exploitation of the Yarlung Zangbo River downstream is more than a hydropower project. It is also meaningful for the environment, national security, living standards, energy and international cooperation.
According to Yan, the 60 million kWh hydropower exploitation at the downstream of the Yarlung Zangbo River could provide 300 billion kWh of clean, renewable and zero-carbon electricity annually. The project will play a significant role in realizing China's goal of reaching a carbon emissions peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060."
The speed with which China continues to modernize has been blowing my mind for over 40 years. I don't think that any other country in the world ever achieved so much progress for so many people in such a short period of time in all of human history; I also believe that no other country ever will, either. China is a truly exceptional country!
By the way, I am still anxiously waiting for the collapse of the Three Gorges Dam, which has been announced as imminent and inevitable by Western imperialist nations since it was built. That damned dam simply refuses to collapse! I am running out of nails to bite; I am biting my toenails now!
