The Grand Inga Dam is the world's biggest untapped renewable resource source, efficient in producing 44,000 MW-- double the capacity of China's 3 Gorges Dam. In this worldwide affairs documentary, we uncover the $100 trillion energy lie and the geopolitical sabotage keeping Africa in the dark. From the 2024-- 2026 World Bank and U.S. strategic pivot to the "Diesel Empire" benefiting from blackouts, discover the financialized geography behind the world's biggest facilities failure.
TL; DR: The Congo River drops 96 meters at Inga, offering sufficient power to support the entire continent. However while the physics use a $100 trillion reward, a $100 billion build expense and "Shadow Contracts" have stalled the job for decades. We expose why the 20% electrical power access in the DRC is an intentional style choice by global gatekeepers and how the race for $24 trillion in crucial minerals is finally requiring the world to flip the switch.
