and energy in general, but it's still a step forward.

But I think the biggest thing is what I mentioned is we're very much tapped out.

Hydro is the largest source of clean energy, and most countries have already developed hydro in the best places.

So it gets to a point where, because, you know, it's not just really big bodies of water.

You also need some

height, you need water that basically goes down, right?

Yeah.

So it's funny you mentioned that it seems like a bigger chance that there will be a disaster with hydropower plants.

And the biggest energy disaster in history was actually a hydropower dam collapse in China.

And it happened in 1979, the same year that Three Mile Island, the big nuclear disaster happened that didn't kill anybody.

This actual disaster went down in China and the world didn't learn about it for decades because...

China.

But, you know, it was this massive dam that got flooded and collapsed.

And as it collapsed, it flooded then dozens of other smaller dams that were downstream from it.

So entire villages were swept away.

It's estimated that 200,000 people died.

Between just being swept away, but then not having food and dying from contaminated water later on.

And so even when you compare that to nuclear, if you compare the worst nuclear disaster to the worst hydropower disaster, the worst hydropower disaster completely eclipses nuclear.

And so it's interesting, right, that we have all these weird fears about nuclear when the facts and reality just point to it being actually extremely safe.

Yeah.
