  Wouldn‘t that take forever to fill up?

    Approximately 100 years. Then it would produce 2 PWh of power (300x average nuclear power plant). Volume 160x Three Gorges Dam. More here: https://prehrada.hrach.eu/en.html https://prehrada.hrach.eu/en.html

      If it takes 100 years to fill the dam and emptying the dam will generate 2PWh, then the expected average power is 2.3GW. That's closer to 3 nuclear reactors.

        You will not empty the dam. You need 100 years to move water level 500m up, then you will use the current flow of the Elbe but raised 500m up. That gives you the power increase.

  "The Czech basin can be conveniently used to build a giant reservoir" I like his use of convenient. But the concept is quite interesting, barring the practicality of flooding Prague and half the country.

  I believe this project would greatly improve the capabilities of the Czech Navy. http://cz-fleet.info/index_en.htm http://cz-fleet.info/index_en.htm

    "At present, the Czech Republic is working on the design of their own non-nuclear aircraft carriers. Planned to build at least two aircraft carriers." Neither Wikipedia nor a quick DDG have anything about this. Fake site probably.

      It's a joke, the Czech Republic is landlocked.
