VOICED : Represa Itaipu simbolo de energia limpia lucha contra El Nino

The video discusses the Itaipu Dam, a joint Paraguayan-Brazilian project on the Paraná River, highlighting its role in making Paraguay a leader in clean energy. The dam, operational since 1984, generates 14,000 megawatts per hour, meeting 80% of Paraguay's and 17% of Brazil's energy needs. It emphasizes the environmental benefits compared to fossil fuels, as generating the same energy with oil would require burning 450,000 barrels daily. The video also addresses challenges posed by El Niño, which caused flooding in several South American countries, affecting 170,000 people. The dam lacks storage capacity, necessitating water release during such events.
