The Yacyreta Dam Disaster
Om avsnittet
Episode 268 returns to the Parana River to explore the Yacyreta Dam, a massive binational project between Argentina and Paraguay that became a symbol of ecological ruin and political corruption. We trace how this hydroelectric scheme, initially touted as a source of clean energy and regional development, instead flooded indigenous Guarani communities, displaced thousands, and drained public funds through opaque contracts. Lucas and Luna examine the role of key figures like Abraao Abraão, the environmental impact on the wetlands, and the legal battles that followed. This episode connects the broader themes of infrastructure hubris seen in previous episodes with the specific human cost of the ABAA consortium’s failures.
