For decades, the nation of Ethiopia has dreamed of creating a damn on the Blue Nile River. Such a dam would provide an enormous amount of electricity for a country that is one of the lowest electricity consumers in the world. Such a project would be a massive undertaking and it would also bring a great deal of prestige to the country. What was once a dream began to become a reality in the 21st century, and today is producing energy for the country. However, the project has also caused problems with many of its neighbors. Learn more about the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, how it was built as well as how it has impacted the country and its neighbors, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.SponsorsPlan your next trip to Spain at Spain.info!• Sign up at butcherbox.com/daily and use code daily to get chicken breast, salmon or ground beef FREE in every order for a year plus $20 off your first order!Subscribe to the podcast! https://link.chtbl.com/EverythingEverywhere?sid=ShowNotes--------------------------------Executive Producer: Charles DanielAssociate Producers: Ben Long & Cameron Kieffer Become a supporter on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingeverywhereUpdate your podcast app at newpodcastapps.comDiscord Server: https://discord.gg/UkRUJFhInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/everythingeverywhere/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/everythingeverywheredailyTwitter: https://twitter.com/everywheretripWebsite: https://everything-everywhere.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
