It will silt up in less than 30 years.

Anybody remember stories of substandard concrete from China, just earlier this year?

How long do you suppose it would take for that to show up in a spectacular way, if significant quantities of it has been used in the dam?

I’m betting less than 20 years, with minimal possibility that its detected in time to repair.
(This assumes no assist from a Taiwan firecracker.)

I think I speak for most when I say “I’d feel perfectly comfortable with my life in the hands of the ChiComs.”

“Officials BEHIND the massive Three Gorges Dam are preparing to plug any holes in the project ...”

I would wanna get in front of it either!

A thermal power plant of the same capacity as the Three Gorges hydropower project will burn 50 million tons of coal and discharge 100 million tons of carbon dioxide a year, he said.

I call bulls*** on this. How on earth would CO2 output be double the weight of the coal burned? Where would it come from? Anyone?

I’m no engineer, but it just seems that massive dams should be in deep narrow passages, with solid rock on either side; and they should be bowed back toward the reservoir. Being long, strait, and built on silty soil just doesn’t seem right. Oh, and they shouldn’t displace millions of people and forever erase thousands of years of history either.
