Climate Change Drying Up China's Three Gorges Dam

The video discusses the global decline in hydropower output, particularly in the US, China, and Europe, leading to increased reliance on fossil fuels and rising emissions. Climate change exacerbates this issue by causing more frequent and intense droughts. Solutions like floating solar panels and geographic power balancing are proposed, but short-term reliance on coal is likely.
