Most Useless Megaprojects in the World

A woman constructed a megaproject that took 9 months to build and I think that should be in this list
That is me

They wasted alot of money

1.3 billion is a LOT of money!

I'm afraid IKN, a project of the new capital city of Indonesia will enter the list. Apparently Brunei gov will invest in to tht city.

I would travel on H2 just for the serenity. Everything cannot be measured by money

Forest City sounds a lot like EPCOT.

The biggest part of nuclear waste is of medical origin- not from power plants

Where is srilanka 😂 there are thousands of useless magaprojects

hey guys come to india...... 🤣🤣🤣

H3 in hawaii is not useless. It cost so much because people were constantly sabotaging it, as it crosses over indigenous burial grounds. It is understandable that locals do not want to use it. Never the less it is the only way to cross the island without having to go all the way around, and cuts a large amount of travel time.

Expensive bt useless yup my life

Fake

The wifi network mf is giving 76kbps

Well RIO DE JANEIRO SUBWAY HAS 5 GHOST STATION!!! BILLIONS THREW IN THE WATER

Add kaleshwaram from india😂

Leftards ruining megaprojects that could help America just bc they wanna cry about something, what a shock

They will eventually use the Yucca mountain repository. The particle collider not so much

Classifying the H-3 as "useless" is ridiculous. It's clearly getting substantially used in all of your shots of it. Did it cost too much? Sure. But "overpriced" and "expensive" are not synonyms for "useless" by any rational interpretation. And clearly, a smart move would be to provide it with a connection more central to Honolulu. But "useless"? No -- no freaking way.


The Ciudad Real airport is an example of government stupidity in general -- obviously, whenever building an airport, you want to have already provided sufficient access to the facility. The obvious solution here is to get a high speed rail -- which Spain already has -- to connect to at least Madrid, and possibly to other cities in the area.

Forest City is an exercise in how government meddling almost always ephs things up. They wanted to encourage more local and non-Chinese investment, the obvious thing is to encourage (via tax breaks) the Chinese to sell their investments "cheap", and to encourage other buyers to invest. Tax breaks for Chinese sellers and tax breaks for "other" buyers -- particularly Malaysian ones would have kept a probably successful project to keep building up.

And the Yucca mountain facility is just anti-nuke imbeciles shooting themselves in the foot, and demonstrating that they have absolutely zero actual interest in anything but brainless obstructionism. Now, instead of the waste making it to about as safe a place as it could be -- in a hole in the trackless deserts of Nevada -- the waste is instead sitting in waterholes at almost every nuclear power plant in the USA, waiting to be reprocessed into a couple cubes 3 meters on a side per power plant. As to it being "the deadliest thing since this advent of civilization", can you try and hold it down from the 10 to the 10th level of hyperbole? 95% or more of ALL nuclear waste is such that, if we divvied it up, and gave "their fraction" of it to each person in the country, they could EAT IT and have no long-term ill-effects. Particularly if they ate it a bit at a time, over the course of a year (this assumes it's been processed sufficiently into a tablet or pill form to be swallowed every day). SMH. Peeps are trained to go "OH NOES!!" at the word "Radiation". We all get constantly exposed to radiation. All of us! And people who live in some places get as much as 1000x the radiation the rest of us get -- for example, Colorado, they get lots of radiation from being a mile up in the air, and are exposed to lots of cosmic radiation that the air filters out for the rest of us. Or people who live on "monazite sands" in India, which have as much as 3-6% uranium content.

As to "Nevadans", almost none of them have any freaking actual interest in the area -- more than 70% of Nevada is owned by the Federal Government, and, in particular, much of the area around Yucca MT was used in the 50s for nuclear testing, so it's already highly radioactive.

"Questions were raised over the ... surveys"? It's literally the most thoroughly studied area in the entire $%^#&^# world!!
SMH. Parroting the mentally incompetent anti-nuke people, much? One of them once 'bragged', "The only physics I ever took was Ex-Lax". Now, I'm not going to say you must know physics to have an opinion, but, if you're BRAGGING about your ignorance of it, you're probably not someone who actually has one worthy of expression.

There is exactly ONE reason why the place is not in use right now -- Harry Reid was in charge of the Senate during the time when it was due to go into operation, and did everything in his power to kill it, because he personally doesn't like nuclear power. So all of America suffers.

IF you believe that Climate Change IS a problem, then you need to be in favor of 4th Generation Nuclear Power development. PERIOD. Because it's the only way to provide modern power to the world in the quantities needed. No, "green" won't do it. Nuclear Power is about as actually Green as anything gets. The total wastes are the only ones small enough to actually be captured and contained, of ALL power sources -- including that of solar panels and windmills, both of which produce quite a bit of mine-tailings and industrial by-products which are highly toxic in the process of making them.

The U.S. wasting money??? No wayyyy... (sarcasm)

The earth is the Lord and the fulness thereof, we live in a place that is not of our own, we must ought to obey the owner of the place we called earth. Some called Him Creator but I called Him Father. God the Father send His beloved son to take our sins and nailed it on the cross where He bled with Joy, because there is no greater love than this, that a friend would die for another even thou the other is still sinners. I knew Him not yet He willingly died for my sins because He loves us, and me not knowing who He is, called me friend already. Now because my Lord commanded me to love and I know He still there for the lost one leaving the 99, I am here because it grieve my Father, for He does not want any should perish, so I'm telling your ight now whatever sins you may have done it is all forgiven for precious is the blood that redeemed you my brother and sisters, you are forgiven! you are paid in full, we must repent from our sins confess it to God, put your cares upon Him for He cares for you. We must forgive other their sins against us so that we too may be forgiven by God :) repent and accept the Lord Jesus as Lord and savior :) God bless.

That's kinda scary seeing a whole road empty.

very nice

JUST LIKE "AMARAVATHI, NAYARAYAPUR"

Next will be ...in Telangana state ,India, kaleswaram project ,with 1 lakh crores INR

forest city isnt useless, people go there still. i would know

The Chinese controlling real estate is happening in the US now too.

I don’t know what your motivation is for labeling Hawaii H3 as useless, but you definitely don’t know what you’re talking about. H3 has been extremely successful, extremely essential, and extremely busy during peek hours. If it is true that native Hawaiians don’t use it, they are missing out from the beauty of their own island. It is an engineering marvel, and the best kept secret for us living in Windward Kaneohe and beyond. It is our fastest way to the airport and to anywhere across the island... and it will certainly be a bonus for any tourist

Imagine buying an airport cheaper than any apartment just to live there. (I'm sure it's not that simple. Maybe one would need to spend some outrageous amount for an upkeep or something like taxes. Still. Funny to consider it.)

As someone who has breathed air a few times I can absolutely assure you that the H3 highway in Hawaii is far from useless

Most expensive is HS2 in England. 70milion/km. Russian corruption made even more expensive road 600 milion/km. (Never done).

20 lane highway? Those guys must have played Cities Skylines and never heard about lane mathematics. You don't need this kind of highway at all.

5 useless project and the first one is finished and is really used! huh?!

So has the USA found a storage place yet?

qatar istanbul

Ive learned in a few weeks that Hawaiians are a folk of complainers

liminal space the city

As someone who lives in Nepal (don't know even where Hawaii is), I can absolutely ensure you that the H3 is far from useless.

these roads are perfect for doing drag race and stuff

The fact that all that money could have gone to issues, such as poverty, climate action etc. Is honestly so sad.

As someone who lives nowhere near Hawai'i and hadn't heard of the H3 until this video, I can assure you that the H3 is far from useful to me. However, I have a dream that one day I will visit Hawai'i and drive on the H3 and it will become far from useless.

Mattala airport sri lanka

XiongAn should top them all

Sri Lanka:
South Asia's bigget airport with a much larger run away - but zero scheduled flights for years
Huge sea port but had to sell to China as no income at all.,
4-6 lane wide highways with no vehicles.
Huge skyscrappers with no business, no towers

The H-3 Highway is not useless for me… takes me from kaneohe to the airport in 10 minutes

Make a new episode when The line from neom is out 👀

Sometimes life throws you a curve ball and at other times it makes sure you know that the H-3 is far from useless.

the same capital shift happened in indonesia, hope it doesnt turned like myanmar's
