Hoover Dam’s $52 Million Hail Mary: The Upgrade That Could Delay a Power Crisis

Hoover Dam is getting a $52 million low level turbine upgrade as Lake Mead approaches some of its lowest projected water levels in history. In this clip, we break down why the Bureau of Reclamation is replacing older turbines, what happens when Lake Mead falls below 1,035 feet, and how the new wide-head turbines could keep generating electricity down to around 950 feet—far lower than the current equipment can handle. Will the upgrades be finished in time to prevent major power losses? Check out the FULL Livestream & Discussion: https://youtube.com/live/oUp0hw8RjMM Lake Mead LIVE!
