Oh well, not like that city had a skyline to ruin in the first place
Lucas Wilson
2 largest hydroeletric in the world, paraguay is totally dependent on it.
it was the 1 one then the chinks supassed us
Luke Perez
>He brags about permanently ruining one of his country's natural wonders so a dam could be built
Sad!
Andrew King
Damns are amazing and I wish we would make them wherever its possible/usable. Only down side si that they could easily become a national threat if we go to war.
What a loser mindset. Its a great way for energy.
Evan Russell
Pathetic
Christian Campbell
Itaipu produces more electricity though
Joseph Long
Clean energy thats mostly stable and very effecient is worth ruining a "view"
Julian Barnes
>one of his country's natural wonders
if you are talking about the amazon river, there are laws that prevents companies and the governament itself to build dams there, Itaipu was build in the paraná river, in the state of Paraná, in the Southern region of Brazil, almost if even more than 3000KM from the state of Amazonas.
Presidente Costa e Silva Bridge, normally called by the name Rio-Niterói Bridge, its the longest bridge in brazil and was build during the military regime, the reason because people call it Rio-Niterói instead of Its official name (despite its connecting the city of Rio to Niterói) its because where is quite a taboo with military regime leaders
small propaganda video about the bridge:

Energy's going to come from some where you retard.
Wyatt Roberts
You can always build a power plant, retard
Aaron Howard
missing the entire point.
Jaxson Hughes
>just build a power plant, bro
Aiden Lewis
Julian Young
Nope
Literally easier, cheaper, and faster than building a dam
Justin Scott
Oh right, i didn't remind about this, i don't think it was a bad decision, 20% of the eletricity from the entire country comes from Itaipu alone, imagine all the cousts its saved from thermal plants, and we still have bealtifull waterfalls there

Lets use the Hoover dam as an example
It costs 175m (inflation included) to make
experts123.com
Thats 175m for 83 years of an average, about 4 billion kilowatt-hours of hydroelectric power
usbr.gov
Thats 332b killowatt hours for $175m or $.0005271 per kilowatt hour.
If you google how much it takes for an electric company to make 1 kilowatt hour its .12
It is a magnitude difference. Dam are so fucking cheap for electricity.
Ayden Kelly
Of course I did leave a few costs out of the hoover dam like employee pay and maintenance, which I'm sure the electric companies bill includes (plus a profit margin) but its still a huge difference.
Lincoln Cruz
Vespasiano Correia viaduct, a railroad viaduct on the State of the Rio Grande do Sul, its the highest viaduct in the Americas and the third highest in the world
Gabriel Evans
Nuclear is comparable in cost per kWh and far less destructive to the environment
Kevin Ross
That's amazing. Hydropower is indeed the best.
Andrew Martinez
The biggest building made in prestessed concrete is the Building of the Governament of the State of Minas Gerais, it has all the secretaries of the State's governament, some federal offices and a for some reason a small shopping center inside.
for the sake of irony this state elite piece of concrete and glass has an favela on the other side of the avenue
Nicholas Ortiz
I was going to say "Would it be worth it to destroy an incredible natural wonder of your own country for it?" and then I realized Finland doesn't have one so yeah it would be best for you
Charles Cox
Ignore everything I said before I found a better source that actually thoroughly did what I wanted/tried to do.
David Phillips
This remind me people in paraná were freaking out after the Brumadinho mine dam colapsed in Minas spreading rumors that Itaupu was going to colapse as well, the countrysiders were so desperated the governament actually had to organize a full check-up to prove everything was fine
Parker Garcia
I believe thats a fair fear. Dams are amazing for energy yet if they fail its a complete disaster. It's probably a good thing that they did a full check up even if it wasn't needed.
Jose Perry
Why i am the only one posting structures?
Alexander Anderson
Because some faggot autist wanted to say dams arn't amazing.

Quite a failed mega structure, the BR-230 highway, mostly known as transamazonica is a road crossing the amazon rainflorest connecting Manaus to the coast, its construction was started during the military regime in 1972 and was never funny finished, only the parts outside of the florest actually have asphalt, many have died to never achieve its construction.
I really want to keep the thread alive at the hope someone will post something cool and unknow
Evan Rogers
Br-230 As seen in the map
Jeremiah Mitchell
BR-230 at there it begins, the State of Paraiba (PB), this is that it is was suposed to look like in all of its kilometers

Most do fission reactors and wait for fusion my dude
