Building the world's largest (and most controversial) power plant | Alex Gendler

The video discusses the Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest hydroelectric plant, and its energy production capabilities. It explains how hydroelectric dams work, using water flow to generate electricity. The construction of the dam had significant human and environmental impacts, displacing millions but providing flood protection and energy. Despite its size, the Itaipu Dam generates more power due to consistent water flow. The video concludes with a look at future hydroelectric projects and the need for sustainable practices.
