And the beauty with the Congo River is, unlike most river basins in Africa, which tend to dry out during the dry season, the Congo River, the basin sits north and south of the equator. So at any given time, a part of it experiences the rainy season.
natural gas combined cycle power plants that use that gas and use water for cooling and then you might have a chemical plant or Refinery on the same River Basin so you have some of these basins under a lot of stress because of oil and gas Revolution and some of those shell basins are in places where we have a lot of drought this is a map of the United States with the shell basins
Yeah. There are messages. And basing policy on truth, and basing a life on the truth, on knowledge institutions. It's debatable. Truth changes over time as science develops, and there is a discourse.
River Basin so you have some of these basins under a lot of stress because of oil and gas Revolution and some of those shell basins are in places where we have a lot of drought this is a map of the United States with the shell basins noted in pink and some shades of purple there a lot of shell basins around the United States and we can overlay one of
And then, so you asked about business and technology. It's the Great Basin is what you're thinking of.
The reason agriculture became so productive and civilization emerged here is because the Earth had created the conditions that made it very, very simple, because of this foreland basin sagging down alongside that mountain range. And when the Mesopotamian civilizations were emerging around 3,000 BC on the other side of the planet, around in India, in an identical tectonic setting,
And when the Mesopotamian civilizations were emerging around 3,000 BC on the other side of the planet, around in India, in an identical tectonic setting, in the foreland basin , the tectonic trough running alongside the Himalayan mountain range, the Indus Valley civilization was popping up around the same time. Two different parts of the world, same moment, same tectonic setting.
The incident wasn't isolated. Throughout the Ganga River Basin , around construction sites of these massive developmental projects, as the earth below trembles-- So this was just one of the many, many incidents that happened in the Himalayas.
zone and you have huge aggregations of coastal wildlife. The Congo basin coast in Central Africa has the worldís largest population of Leatherback Sea Turtles. For folks that have seen Leatherbacks, theyíre talking 9 feet long, these creatures that are extremely vulnerable, the last, the largest population in the planet lives here and is
We'd wash up in the creek, as I'm doing here during the summer. We had enamel wash basins in the winter-- wood stove. And I never felt poor.

Just to point you out a bit of where we focus is that thereís three centers of marine biodiversity in the planet.

The abyssal plain is the flat-ish bottom of the ocean basin .
So at that point, the number of dams being planned on the Ganga River Basin were anywhere between 80 to 600 dams. And these are all hydropower projects on the Ganga River Basin . So if all of these would come to fruition, if all of these were set up, the Ganga River Basin would become one of the densest dam sites on the planet.
Why? Because there had been landslides throughout the entire road that we were very, very slowly going. And this is in the case throughout the Basin . And then there are these run-of-the-river tunnels.

You even go further out into the Denver basins , like south of Strasburg, we have that exact same interval of time preserved.
And that ended up forming family foundations and basing ourselves out of Chile and Argentina
