Specifically, there was a hit-job white paper (I think it was from a marketing firm, can't remember the title) published in the past 5-10 years arguing that Hummers were more eco-friendly than a Prius. The paper was thoroughly debunked

To be fair, Three Gorges (like any large hydro) is comprised of many turbines, 32 700MW turbines in this case. To counter, the biggest nuclear power plant, Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, has 7 generating units which are each above 1 GW. Two of those u
