For a more nuanced view on the Egypt project in particular check the wiki page [0] Short version is it sounds uneconomical for power generation. Hard to believe but reading between the lines it feels like despite all the “free” hydroelectric you’re looking at immense construction difficulties You know your projects heading for the drawer when you propose using 100 atomic bombs to dig the tunnel [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qattara_Depression_Project https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qattara_Depression_Project PS I’d love for this project to work. The main thing I could not really find supporting evidence for is “water will fill with life”. Just like… you could be constantly desalinating (and now have a brine problem) and still not really have a great ecosystem form I feel like? But I don’t understand this.
