human ability creates artificial lakes
lol
@Lucienne d'Anwyl I think people who design these are smart enough to take fish into account.
dont underestimate them
the people who design dams do it for humans
mainly drinking water and lfood control
who gives a fuck about fish when without the freshwater, millions of people die
they dont care about the ecology
Humans need to flood Sahara with sea water
freshwater will be the resource countries goto war over BEFORE oil
Ecology will adapt
nah i like the desert
Nature does not let niches to be empty
@ManAnimal they bury shit tons of population centers and such with their lakes tho
taking salt from water is VERY energy intensive
and then all the stuff in there decomposes and poisons the water
true
if you arent very careful
they don't bury ENUFF
saltwater is already poison if you drink it
artificial lakes are one of many means
city folk oppress people in the countryside
lol
And it can actually have a power storage
yup
potential energy is the best cheap form of storage
well it depends how big thw lake is
not really
yes really
you dont need a honking big lake for an artifical battery
artificial lakes are absolutely massive
even a modest tank on your roof can be rigged to turn a generator's shaft
so unnnecessarily large artificial lakes
do not need to exist to fulfill that purpose
pump bits of water to the roof using energy reclaimed from wind, sun and other
then open a valve and spin the generator when required
@Lucienne d'Anwyl You say like change is bad.
Yet 99% of species are extinct and many more will go extinct with or without human input
Nature will change, and one volcano will fuck your ecology like humans never could.
Humans are not that allmighty, and nature will recover in any case.
It is older than puny humankind
simple storage
