What's about effects on the local climate and environmental? Nobody can predict enough accurately the small and large scale effects of such a risky project, and nobody in current and future generations will like to pay for (bad)consequencies. Then, lowering the mediterranean level by 200m thanks to evaporation only would take several years with lower energy production at a time the demand of energy is high... Then the dam will be ageing or obsolete... Finally, closing mediterrannean and using it to evaporate the atlantic water fed for energy production, would make it a sink for salt. Why creating new inlands if they are dead (or costly to desalt)?
