Since the 1960’s, the United States has tried to develop high-speed railways. For decades, nothing materialized. Then, in 2008, California high-speed rail launched, promising revolutionary rail service between Los Angeles and San Francisco. However, over 15 years later and the project has been plagued by land acquisition issues, cost overruns and a lack of funding. For a while, it seemed high-speed rail may not work in the US. Then, in Florida, a company called Brightline successfully built the country’s first privately operated intercity railway. They are now expanding and have begun construction on Brightline West, the USA’s first high-speed railway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. With a max speed of 190 miles per hour, it will cut the travel time between the two cities from 4 hours to only 2 hours and ten minutes. Construction is starting in 2024, with an expected opening date in 2028! If you enjoyed this video, please consider subscribing to Futurology for more similar content!

Thai has proposed constructing a 128 kilometer long canal across the Thai isthmus, bypassing the Malacca strait. The project, which would be 450 meters wide and 25 meters deep, would cost around 28 billion dollars and take 10 years to construct. It would save 1,200 kilometers in travel distance, reducing fuel costs and C0₂ emissions. It would also invigorate Thailand’s economy and allow Chinese vessels to avoid the US military presence near Singapore. However, its excavation would displace thousands of people and harm the natural ecosystem. It would also divide Thailand, allowing Muslim insurgents in the south to expand their movement. Furthermore, it would create tension with Thailand’s regional neighbors and would need highly advanced logistics to compete with Singapore. Lastly, it would put Thailand into debt and the center of a global geopolitical rivalry between China, the US and India. Due to all these issues, the Thai canal has faced serious resistance. Despite this, the Thai government still wants to connect the two oceans and in November 2023, they announced a $36BN land bridge across the isthmus, that would include highways, railways and pipelines. Whether this or the original Thai canal will ever be built, we will just have to wait and see.

Ukraine has a $750 billion dollar plan to rebuild itself and recover after its war with Russia. The plan includes a list of prerequisites including de-oligarzation, anti-corruption measures and providing cyber and military protection. Once these are in place, it will clean up the environment and hazardous regions, while rebuilding and strengthening its transport infrastructure. In addition, it will place a heavy emphasis on boosting its energy infrastructure, by rebuilding its destroyed power plants and refineries, and constructing new renewable energy resources. Furthermore, it will update its housing and heating system, improve education and work to boost national culture. Together, it hopes these will re-attract its more than six million refugees who have fled the country. With all these goals, Ukraine hopes it will lower carbon emissions, boost education performance, and increase economic growth. Maybe most importantly though, it plans on strengthening its western alliances, by joining the EU and NATO.

New York City is considering extending Manhattan island two and a half miles south into the New York Harbor with reclaimed land, forming a new neighborhood called New Mannahatta. Based on the Upper West Side, the new neighborhood would have 178 thousand housing units for 247 thousand people. It would have parks, bike and pedestrian paths and subway line extensions for routes 1 and G, helping integrate it with the rest of the city. It would also be elevated and surrounded with wetlands, helping protect against storm surges. While it would provide more housing supply, protect against climate change and generate massive real estate value, it would cost billions of dollars, take decades to complete and increase traffic in the city.

The Plan to Drain the Mediterranean

Go to https://ground.news/futurology to stay fully informed on breaking news and avoid media bias. Subscribe through my link before August 15 for 30% off unlimited access. There is a proposal to dam the Strait of Gibraltar and drain the Mediterranean Sea. Introduced by German architect Herman Sorgel in the 1920’s, the proposal would include a massive dam and hydroelectric plant at the Strait of Gibraltar, along with dams at the Dardanelles Strait and between Sicily and Tunisia. Without water flowing in from the Atlantic, over 70 years, the sea level would drop 100 meters. 576,000 square kilometers of new land would be opened up and massive hydropower potential would be generated. In addition, in Africa, the Congo River would be dammed up, creating huge new inland seas in the Congo and Chad. Lastly, the project would unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent called Atlantropa. While Herman Sorgel promised a list of benefits for Atlantropa, the reality would be much different. It would strand historic coastal cities inland, all the new exposed land would be salt flats, it would displace millions, cost trillions of dollars and when introduced, would have allowed Europeans powers to exploit Africa.

Texas is planning to build a $30 billion dollar high-speed railway, connecting Dallas and Houston. Managed by the private company Texas Central, the railway would be 386 kilometers long and would use Japanese N700 Series Shinkansen technology which would reach speeds of up to 320 kilometers per hour, slashing the current three and half hour long commute to only 90 minutes. However, the project has faced a list of challenges, including finances and legal opposition from landowners along the route. In addition, it is feared ridership predictions are overestimated and that Texans will simply not adapt to high speed rail well. Currently, the project is still alive but activity is at a low.

The African Country Nobody Has Heard Of

Get Surfshark VPN at https://surfshark.deals/technology - Enter promo code TECHNOLOGY for an extra 3 months for free! There is a country in Africa that almost nobody has heard of. The country, called Somaliland, is its own country in pretty much every way. It has its own government, flag, economy, currency, military and passports. It declared independence from Somalia in 1992 after a decade of struggle against the ruthless Barre regime. This conflict arose from a larger, older cultural difference formed by the colonial partition of Somaliland between Britain and Italy. While Somaliland is its own country in pretty much every way, no other country has officially recognized this. There are plenty of reasons why. Some countries have relations with Somalia that they don’t want to sacrifice, and others fear recognizing Somaliland would lead to other secessionist movements across Africa. Despite this, Somaliland is working hard to increase its international relevance and gain acceptance. It is working to become a trade hub and utilize its natural resources. In the future, we may just see Somaliland be accepted on the international stage. If you enjoyed this video, please consider subscribing to Futurology for more similar content!

The EU is building a 5.8 billion euro rail network that will help secure the Baltic states and impact the environment. Rail Baltica, a massive planned railway, will provide the first large-scale standard gauge railway in the Baltics, helping connect the regions’ economy to the rest of the EU and western Europe. It will have seven international passenger stations and three multimodal freight terminals to integrate with the current Russian gauge rail system. The railway will provide numerous benefits, including faster commute times, safer travel, better integration with the European Union, job creation, and greater security for the Baltic states. Currently, the railway is still in the design phase but is close to beginning construction. Planned to open to the public between 2028 and 2030, Rail Baltica will transform the region.

In two years, NASA plans to land humans on the Moon! NASA’s Artemis Program, which will establish a permanent human presence on the Moon, is currently underway. It has 4 main components: The space launch system, or SLS, which will launch astronauts into orbit. The Orion spacecraft, which will transport them to and from the Moon. The human landing system, which will transport them to and from the lunar surface. And Gateway, a space station that will support ground operations. Already, Artemis 1, which launched in November 2022, has successfully demonstrated the SLS and Orion, by sending an un-crewed Orion around the Moon and back to Earth. The next mission, in 2024, will launch astronauts around the Moon and finally, in 2025, they will land on the surface. After this, many more missions will establish a permanent human lunar presence, serving as a stepping stone to Mars and other destinations even further into the solar system!

Why Indonesia is Building a New Capital City

dmXweKtQRo0 | 10 Jan 2023

Why Indonesia is Building a New Capital City

Indonesia is building a new, $33 billion dollar capital city on the island of Borneo. Jakarta, Indonesia’s current capital and economic center, faces a variety of issues, including land subsidence, pollution and congestion. Because of this, in 2019, the government decided to relocate the capital away from Jakarta and build a new capital city in the province of East Kalimantan in Borneo. Named Nusantara, the new capital city is planned to be a digital smart city surrounded by a lush tropical landscape. It will bring many key benefits to Indonesia but will also have some issues and drawbacks. With construction having started in 2022, the first phase is planned to open in 2024. By the time its completed in 2045, it will host 1.9 million people and generate millions of jobs for Indonesia.

Get 4 months for free on a 2y plan here: https://nordvpn.com/futurologyvpn. It’s risk free with Nord’s 30 day money-back guarantee! Saudi Arabia is constructing a $500BN city of the future in the desert. Called NEOM, the new city is being built to help diversify the Saudi economy away from oil and build a sustainable future. As part of this project, the Saudi royal family has unveiled plans for The Line, a 170 kilometer long skyscraper city that will have a 3D-design filled with advanced technology, luscious parks and AI services. In addition to the Line, plans have been revealed for Oxagon, a 7-kilometer wide floating port city, and Trojena, a top-class mountain tourist destination. However, while these proposals look beautiful in the renders, they are filled with issues. Clouded by the hubris of the Saudi royal family, their designs have been filled with expensive and impractical elements. This is a shame as the project has the potential to be a major source of positivity for the country. Hopefully, the plans can be looked at and carefully redesigned to be more realistic and beneficial for the general populous.

Through loans for large-scale infrastructure projects and economic integration, the Asian giant has made a large footprint in Africa. As a result, African nations have begun politically leaning towards China over western nations. In response, western nations have begun their own programs to increase relations with Africa and reestablish strong diplomatic ties. Over the coming decades, Africa will certainly serve as an arena between China and the West, with both sides seeking to gain allies and increase their global influence.

Montreal’s $6.9BN New Railway Network

Ga3UQBeVDb0 | 24 Aug 2022

Montreal’s $6.9BN New Railway Network

Canada is building a $6.3BN new railway network across the Montreal metro area. Called REM, the network will dramatically improve Montreal’s commuter rail infrastructure by establishing a new, 67 kilometer long light-rail line across the city. It will feature autonomous, spacious and ventilated train carriages from the Alstom Metropolis family of rolling stock. It will also have 26 stations with a modern and green design, featuring platform screen doors that will open only when trains arrive. The new system will provide jobs, cut commute times across Montreal and contribute billions of dollars to the local economy. While delayed and over budget, it is planned to fully open in 2024. When opened, it will serve as a 21st century evolution to Montreal’s expansive transport network. If you enjoyed this video, please consider subscribing to Futurology for more similar content!

See important Masterworks disclosures: https://www.masterworks.io/about/disclaimer The UK just opened a new £18.8 BN underground railway line in London. Since the 1940’s, dreamers have imagined a new underground rail line linking the Paddington and Liverpool Street stations in London, connecting the east and west. Then, in 2008, under the name Crossrail, the project was approved. Between 2009 and 2022, the enormous project was constructed. Over 40 kilometers of underground tunnels were bored, 10 new stations were excavated and constructed, and 50 kilometers of new tracks were laid. Then, on May 24th, 2022, the new line opened. Named the Elizabeth Line, it has increased London’s rail capacity by 10% and is expected to add £42 BN to the UK economy. It is a new favorite of London residents and will help commuters move across the city for the next 120 years.

Congo’s Proposal for the World’s Largest Dam

qeSmnabVGvQ | 01 Jul 2022

Congo’s Proposal for the World’s Largest Dam

Congo is considering building the largest hydropower station in the world, the Grand Inga Dam. The project, which would cost $80 billion USD and generate 40 GW of power, would sit along the Congo river just 220 kilometers from Kinshasa. If built, it would provide green power to millions of Africans, increasing the standard of living and positively affecting the environment. However, there are several issues with its construction. Currently, infrastructure and demand issues make it very impractical to build. Nevertheless, a smaller project could benefit the region and be worth building. And eventually, once the demand is in place, a Grand Inga Dam could finally come to fruition. If you enjoyed this video, please consider subscribing to Futurology for more similar content!

New York’s $29.5BN Gateway Project

ZMWzTbX2emI | 12 Jun 2022

New York’s $29.5BN Gateway Project

The US is planning to construct a $29.5 billion dollar rail infrastructure project in New York City. Currently, there is only one northeast corridor train link between Manhattan and New Jersey. Running at full capacity, the link transports 200 thousand commuters to and from New York City every day, serving as an essential lifeline for the metropolis. However, it is deteriorating very rapidly and frequently breaks down, causing commuter chaos. In the near future, when it inevitably will have to be shut down for repair, the closure would seriously harm the regional economy, causing billions of dollars of economic damage. To fix this problem, NYC is building the Gateway Program, which will include numerous rail infrastructure projects between Manhattan and New Jersey, including a new Hudson Tunnel and Portal Bridges. Planned to be finished by the 2030’s, the project will provide a list of benefits and boost the city’s economy.

How The Sahara will Turn Green

Z1yM8uxkEQw | 25 May 2022

How The Sahara will Turn Green

In the future, the Sahara Desert will turn green. Due to the Earth’s slightly elliptical shape and the gravitational pull of other planets in our solar system, the Earth’s orbit, tilt and wobble gradually fluctuate over time in a process called the Milankovitch cycles. By affecting how much and where sunlight hits Earth, these cycles have a significant impact on the long-term climate of Earth. One of these effects impacts the climate of northern Africa. Every 26,000 years, more sunlight hits northern Africa, causing a positive feedback loop that spreads vegetation across the region. While we are currently in a dry period, in about 13,000 years, it is expected that the Sahara will enter a humid period and turn into a green, lush region. To speed up this process though, there are ways to artificially green the desert while also harvesting green, renewable energy.

What If We Built a Transatlantic Tunnel?

Q82Z0netZqk | 11 Dec 2021

What If We Built a Transatlantic Tunnel?

For over a century, the idea of building a tunnel across the Atlantic ocean has fascinated the minds of visionaries. However, due to cost and feasibility concerns, the idea was always dismissed. Then, in 2003, engineers announced that a transatlantic tunnel was within the realms of possibility. Using a submerged floating tunnel, a connection across the northern Atlantic could potentially be built, linking New York City and London. If constructed, a transatlantic tunnel would be the largest construction project in world history. It would cost approximately 12 trillion dollars, take a century or more to build, and require thousands of workers. It would unite the Old and New Worlds, increasing tourism, business and international cooperation. Unfortunately though, it would come with a list of problems. Construction difficulty, safety hazards and cost issues would make the project incredibly challenging. Despite these issues, one day, a transatlantic tunnel may finally be built.

China’s $580BN New City “Xiong’an”

HLd5k7O_xyY | 28 Oct 2021

China’s $580BN New City “Xiong’an”

China is building a $580 billion USD city of the future south of Beijing. Named Xiong’an, the city will help alleviate pressure from Beijing by absorbing its non-essential capital functions. Designed as a green, smart city, it will also hopefully fuel innovation and improve the quality of life of Chinese citizens. The city will cover over 1,000 square kilometers of land in Rongcheng, Xiong and Anxin counties. Eventually, it is hoped Xiong’an will add 298 billion dollars to the region’s GDP and host 1.5 million people. Since construction started in 2017, the project has progressed significantly. A train station, huge neighborhood, schools, and business/citizen service centers are all finished. Many other projects are underway or in planning. In the future, Xiong’an will certainly rise from the rural farmland of northern China. Whether it will succeed and become a world-class smart city, we will just have to wait and see.

Transportation in 2050

qb3SMLxz4JY | 10 Aug 2021

Transportation in 2050

By 2050, global transportation will be vastly different than today. Vehicles will go electric and fully autonomous, transporting people around with no human interaction. Meanwhile, autonomous semi-trucks, vans and robots will deliver packages. In cities, buses and electric robotaxis will shuttle people around on streets and in underground tunnels. In the skies, eVTOL’s will also fly passengers around. On the ground, high speed trains and hyperloop systems will quickly transport people across continents. Across oceans, supersonic jets and hydrogen airplanes will move passengers around. In domestic markets, electric planes will do the same. In the oceans, electric boats and super containers will move people and cargo around. Lastly, in space, rockets, space elevators and space catapults will get people and cargo into orbit and across the solar system.

Spain’s $8.7BN New City in Madrid

qyzZg3rlZ3w | 29 Jul 2021

Spain’s $8.7BN New City in Madrid

Spain is building an $8.7 billion USD new urban development in northern Madrid, called Madrid Nuevo Norte. Madrid is the heart of Spain. However, in its north, train tracks and the urban void surrounding them cut the city right in half, creating traffic and connectivity issues. To solve this issue, Spain is building a new urban development with sparkling skyscrapers and affordable housing on the land. It will host the tallest building in Spain, countless office buildings, world-class infrastructure, and 10,500 new housing units. The project, called Madrid Nuevo Norte, is planned to boost Madrid’s GDP by 18.3 billion euros and help alleviate the city’s housing shortage. However, it also does come with some controversy. Some criticize it as a private, profit-motivated scheme that will increase Madrid’s income gap. In addition, some are unhappy with the construction the project will bring.

Texas’s Proposal for $26.2BN Seawall

Texas’s Proposal for $26.2BN Seawall

Texas is considering constructing a $26.2 billion seawall south of Houston. Houston, the fourth most populous city in the USA, hosts the largest petrochemical complex in the country. It refines 27% of the nation’s gasoline and 60% of its aviation fuel. However, this complex is threatened by hurricanes and the storm surges they bring. If a hurricane directly hit the complex, it would result in an estimated $100 billion in damage. To help prevent this, professor William Merrill and the US Army Corps of Engineers have proposed a massive, 58 mile long seawall along the southern coast of Houston, nicknamed Ike Dike. The proposed seawall would protect national security and prevent a wildlife disaster. However, it would also be extremely expensive, could lower property values and disrupt local fish and oyster populations. As of 2021, the proposal is gaining momentum and is planned to be presented to Congress soon. If you enjoyed this video, please consider subscribing for more great content in the future!

Denmark’s Plans for a $2.4BN Island off Copenhagen

Denmark’s Plans for a $2.4BN Island off Copenhagen

Denmark is planning to construct a $2.4 billion island off the coast of Copenhagen, called Lynetteholm, which will protect the city from rising sea levels while also providing new land for developments. Copenhagen, the largest city and capital of Denmark, has a very low elevation. Because of this, it is at risk from rising sea levels. In the future, it is feared that storm surges could flood the capital’s city streets. To solve this problem, Denmark is building Lynetteholm, a reclaimed island that will have housing for 35,000 people and new infrastructure developments. Despite its benefits, the island has gained opposition from protesters who fear its environmental repercussions and its impact on the residents of Copenhagen. Nevertheless, the project is advancing. On June 4th 2021, the Danish parliament approved the project. In the coming years, it is expected to rise from the harbor, serving as a grand new expansion of Copenhagen.

Turkey’s Plans for a $20BN Istanbul Canal

Turkey’s Plans for a $20BN Istanbul Canal

Turkey is planning on constructing a $20 billion canal across the city of Istanbul. Currently, ships passing through the Mediterranean and Black seas cross the Bosphorus strait, a narrow waterway that cuts right through the megapolis of Istanbul. However, the strait is getting congested and because of the 1936 Montreux Convention, Turkey collects zero revenue and has limited control over it. To solve this problem, Turkey is pursuing plans for a 45-kilometer long canal across the city, which would hopefully relieve congestion from the Bosphorus, collect revenue, and give Turkey more control over transit between the Mediterranean and Black seas. However, the project would also displace thousands, harm the environment, damage Istanbul’s water supply, and disrupt regional stability. Despite this, Turkish president Erdoğan is committed to the project and is hoping to start construction in June 2021. Thank you to the following sources!

China’s Proposal for a Tunnel to Hainan

4KiSKDC_M2o | 17 May 2021

China’s Proposal for a Tunnel to Hainan

China is considering building a 12 billion dollar tunnel to the island of Hainan. In the south of China, the island of Hainan is separated from the mainland by the thin, 20 kilometer wide Qiongzhou strait. The island hosts 10 million people and a booming tourism industry. Despite this, currently, there are no connections across it. For this reason, the idea of building a tunnel across the strait is being seriously pursued. A tunnel would increase tourism on the island, remove transport congestion, and provide China with a strategic advantage in the South China Sea. However, the idea also has several issues, including environmental damage, cost concerns and earthquakes. Nevertheless, Wu Shicun and other Chinese officials are promoting the project and trying to get it built by 2033. Thank you to the following sources!

Brazil - Future Global Superpower

oc9jKD5iRlw | 20 Apr 2021

Brazil - Future Global Superpower

Brazil is potentially growing into a global superpower. Over the past two decades, Brazil’s economy has grown rapidly. Despite a recent slump, it is projected to boom in the coming decades, becoming the fourth largest economy in the world by 2050. Meanwhile, Brazil’s population will slowly grow, before peaking in 2043. In addition, Brazil’s political influence and military will expand. Brazil is already the regional power of South America, with the 9th strongest military in the world. However, it is now spreading its political influence across the world and growing its military. Moreover, Brazil’s cultural and economic influences are growing through tourism and its MNC’s. By 2050, Brazil is projected to be a global superpower, with a robust economy, a powerful military and expansive cultural/political influence.

Norway’s $47BN Floating Highway

lYgGHJaji-g | 03 Apr 2021

Norway’s $47BN Floating Highway

Norway is building a $47 billion dollar highway along its western coast, which will include floating bridges and underwater tunnels stretching across the region’s immense fjords. Norway’s western coast, which hosts several key cities, is currently connected by the E39 highway. However, it is split apart by seven major fjords, which increase travel time and costs. To solve this inefficiency, Norway is building a brand new, continuous highway across the fjords. It will include floating bridges and submerged tunnels, serving as a feat of engineering. The project is planned to be finished by 2050 and will be paid by toll revenue. Once complete, it will dramatically improve connectivity in Norway, boosting the economy and tourism.

To prevent Bosnia and Herzegovina from being landlocked, it owns a small strip of land along the Adriatic Sea. However, this land splits Croatia, causing border check logistics issues. To solve this problem, Croatia is building a bridge around Bosnia, called the Peljesac bridge. This bridge could increase connectivity between north and southern Croatia, improve tourism, and boost economic growth. However, it could also destroy Bosnia’s hopes of building a major port, causing political issues. 0:00 - Background 1:43 - The First Attempt 2:27 - The Second Attempt 4:29 - Peljesac Bridge 5:43 - Advantages/Disadvantages 7:07 - Construction If you enjoyed this video, please consider liking and subscribing for more videos very similar to this one!

Nigeria’s $6BN City in the Sea

Nigeria is constructing a $6 billion dollar city in the Atlantic ocean, called Eko Atlantic. Lagos, the financial and economic capital of Nigeria, is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. To grow successfully, Lagos must attract investors. However, currently, the city is very undeveloped and is threatened by rising sea levels. To help with this, Nigerian developers are building a $6 Billion dollar city on reclaimed land off the coast of Lagos, called Eko Atlantic. Eko Atlantic will host many districts with marinas, skyscrapers, and the largest mall in West Africa. Since construction started in 2007, the city has advanced significantly. In the coming years, it will rise from the sea, potentially becoming a global economic hub. If you enjoyed this video, please consider liking and subscribing for more videos very similar to this one!

Electric Airplanes are Coming

65klVAjcEzk | 10 Mar 2021

Electric Airplanes are Coming

The aviation industry is a terrible emitter of greenhouse gases. In 2019, it emitted 918 million tons of carbon dioxide into the environment. To solve this problem, aircraft must go green. One solution is battery-powered airplanes. Battery-powered airplanes have existed for decades and with improvements in battery technology, could become widespread in the near future. However, for long-distance intercontinental flights, we will need hydrogen airplanes. Hydrogen airplanes are also very feasible and could be used with turbofan technology, producing only water as emissions.

Russia’s Proposal for a Tunnel to Japan

Russia is considering constructing a $76 billion dollar tunnel project across the Soya Strait, connecting Japan to Russia. The Soya Strait is a 43 kilometer wide passage of water separating the island of Sakhalin in Russia and the island of Hokkaido in Japan. If a tunnel was built across it, it would have many benefits. It would boost the local economies and provide the first physical link between Japan and the rest of Asia. However, it would also have some issues. The region is a seismic zone, there are no large population centers near it, and the tunnel would be incredibly expensive. In addition, Japan currently has no interest in the project. However, if Russia’s infrastructure improves and Japan gains interest, a Sakhalin-Hokkaido tunnel could likely be built in the future.

How to Terraform Mars

fGkJZsfJq60 | 22 Feb 2021

How to Terraform Mars

Mars can be terraformed into an Earth-like paradise. By reestablishing a magnetic field to protect Mars, thickening the atmosphere, removing perchlorates from the soil, creating an ozone layer, and adjusting the atmosphere, we can terraform the red planet into a habitable paradise. A terraformed Mars would still be very different from Earth. The days and years would be longer, the gravity would be lower, and the climate would be much different. While terraforming Mars is possible, it would likely take hundreds or even thousands of years and would require technology and megaprojects beyond humanity’s current capabilities.

Russia’s Plans for a Tunnel to Alaska

Russia and China are considering building a 100 billion dollar tunnel across the Bering Strait, providing the first physical link between Asia and North America. The idea for a Bering Strait bridge or tunnel has existed for a while. Recently though, Russia and China have proposed modern tunnels across the strait. These tunnels would have major benefits. They would improve intercontinental trade, cooperation and serve as feats of engineering. Unfortunately though, due to the current infrastructure and geographic conditions, they would be very expensive and difficult to construct.

Scotland is Fighting for Independence

Scotland is Fighting for Independence

Recently, support for the Scottish independence movement has grown rapidly. Within the next few years, we could see the dissolution of the United Kingdom and the formation of a brand new independent Scotland. This new nation would drastically transform the region’s political and economic landscape. Scotland would potentially rejoin the EU and end the Trident nuclear program. It would also capitalize on its North Sea oil reserves, which would inversely harm the UK economy.

Turkey is Building a Bridge to Europe

Turkey is constructing the Çanakkale 1915 Bridge, the soon to be longest suspension bridge in the world. The Çanakkale 1915 Bridge will connect Asia and Turkey across the Dardanelles strait, a thin passage of water in northwest Turkey. It will be a feat of engineering with many symbolic aspects included in its design. The bridge will be part of the Kınalı-Balıkesir Motorway, a $4.7 billion USD highway connecting Europe and Asia. The Çanakkale 1915 Bridge will have many benefits and few problems. It is currently well-under construction and is planned to open on March 18th, 2022.

Spain’s Plans for a Tunnel to Africa

Spain and Morocco are considering building a 9.8 billion dollar tunnel across the Strait of Gibraltar, providing the first physical link between Europe and Africa. Due to the strait of Gibraltar’s geography, proposals for both bridges and tunnels across it have been seriously considered. However, nowadays, a tunnel is being focused on. If constructed, a tunnel would transform the local economies and boost intercontinental trade. However, it would also come with several issues. Despite this, the concept is being seriously pursued today and could soon be constructed. If you enjoyed this video, please consider liking and subscribing for more videos very similar to this one!

Serbia’s Plans for a Canal to The Mediterranean

Serbia is planning to construct a 17 billion dollar, 650 kilometer long waterway connecting the Danube River to the Mediterranean Sea. In southern Serbia, the sources of the Morava and Vardar rivers lie only 30 kilometers away from each other. The Morava flows north into the Danube and the Vardar flows south into the Mediterranean. For this reason, Serbia is considering constructing a massive waterway connecting the two rivers, and therefore the Danube and Mediterranean.

By 2050, the world population will be wildly different. Europe and East Asia will experience population declines. In contrast, Africa’s population will grow immensely. The rest of Asia, Latin America and Oceania’s populations will grow, but their growth rates will steadily slow down. Lastly, Northern America will experience a massive racial and ethnic transformation due to immigration. Over the next thirty years, the world population will transform.

China’s Proposal for a Bohai Strait Tunnel

China is considering constructing a $45 billion tunnel across the Bohai strait, connecting the cities of Dalian and Yantai in northeast China. The mega-project would be the longest undersea connection ever, drastically transforming the regional economies and nationwide transportation routes. It comes with many benefits but also has many issues including cost, feasibility and environmental effects. The Chinese government started the project in 2014, but has faced many delays. As of 2020, it is unsure whether China is still actively pursuing the proposal. If you enjoyed this video, please consider liking and subscribing for more videos very similar to this one!

FIFA World Cup 2022 Stadiums

In preparation for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Qatar is constructing 8 breathtaking stadiums at a total cost of $10 billion USD. The stadiums have a wide range of designs based on Qatari and Islamic culture. They are located in Doha and Al Khor, Qatar. They each contain at least 40,000 seats, and have state of the art facilities and landscaping surrounding them. The venues are magnificent pieces of engineering, and will hopefully serve as fantastic venues for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Unfortunately, the event is very controversial as it has been connected to corruption and terrible conditions for migrant workers.

$75 Billion Gateway Space Station

The Gateway Foundation is planning to construct a $75 billion spinning space station 400 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. The Gateway Foundation is a small start up with plans for two space stations in low-earth orbit: the Von Braun Station and Gateway Station. These bases will have artificial gravity, luxurious hotel rooms, apartments, and escape vehicles. The Gateway Foundation sounds amazing, but it is unsure how it will gain funds and execute its plans.

New York’s Proposal for a Tunnel to Long Island

New York is considering constructing either a bridge or tunnel across the Long Island Sound, connecting mainland New York to Long Island. The proposal has existed since 1938 and was seriously pursued throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s. A connection would have massive benefits. It would decrease congestion, provide jobs, widen regional markets and increase employment opportunities. The proposal was explored by current governor Andrew Cuomo, but was eventually cancelled.

ITER: The $65 Billion Power Plant of the Future

A $65 billion nuclear fusion reactor called ITER is being constructed in southern France. A collaboration of 35 countries, the ITER TOKAMAK will test the feasibility of nuclear fusion for future power generation. If it succeeds, ITER could transform how we obtain energy, allowing us to reproduce the process which keeps stars burning for billions of years. However, if nuclear fusion is to change the world, a series of innovations must be made and a list of problems solved.

Italy's Proposal for a Bridge to Sicily

Yz-nDDhmhKI | 19 Jul 2020

Italy's Proposal for a Bridge to Sicily

Italy is considering building a $7 billion bridge from Calabria to Sicily across the Strait of Messina. It would be both the largest suspension bridge and tallest bridge in the world, making it a feat of engineering. It could boost the local economies, increase tourism, improve relations between the people of southern Italy, and demonstrate Italy’s engineering prowess. However, it would also come with many budget, engineering, and infrastructure issues. Whether it will ever be constructed, we will have to wait and see.

Egypt's New Administrative Capital

Egypt is building a smart city with a population of 6.5 million in the middle of the desert. Cairo is extremely congested, polluted and overpopulated, making it unfit as the financial and administrative capital of Egypt. To solve this problem, Egypt has started construction on the New Administrative Capital, a megacity located 30 miles east of Cairo in the middle of the desert.

How to Colonize Venus - Floating Cities

Venus's upper atmosphere is the perfect place to build floating cities. 50 kilometers above Venus's surface, the temperature, atmospheric pressure, and other conditions are the most Earth-like in the solar system. In the future, humanity will likely colonize Venus, building floating cities similar to Cloud City in Star Wars. It will be incredible! Guys, sorry I have not uploaded for a couple months. Along with this video, I have been working on my largest and most ambitious video yet about how humanity could realistically colonize the entire Milky Way Galaxy. It will probably take several months to create. However, I'm hopeful it will be worthwhile. Anyways, enjoy this video and please like and comment. Thanks!
