Red Sea Dam
The Red Sea dam is a speculative macro-engineering proposal put forward in 2007 by a group of scientists and engineers.〔(Power from closing the Red Sea: Economic and ecological costs and benefits following the isolation of the Red Sea ) by ''Roelof Dirk Schuiling, Viorel Badescu, Richard B. Cathcart, Jihan Seoud, Jaap C. Hanekamp''〕 Although the authors' intentions are to explore "the ethical and environmental dilemmas and some of the political implications of macro-engineering", the proposal has attracted both criticism and ridicule.〔(New Scientist critique )〕 == Proposal == The idea is to dam the Red Sea at its southern end where the Bab-al-Mandab Strait is only wide. Natural evaporation would rapidly lower the level of the enclosed Red Sea. Water rushing back into the sea would then drive turbines to generate electricity. It is claimed that up to of electrical power could be generated, dwarfing all other power schemes worldwide.
