That's one of those politically impossible situations. Either cause a small disaster now (less access to energy) or let a big disaster happen later. I suppose that explains why they used to do (and needed to continue) so much grouting. Anything to keep the energy flowing.

It's a pretty clear-cut problem, though. Replace the machines and teams, finish the replacement dam ASAP, retire this dam. The problem is more about policitical will - like most of them.

I assume the same way they secured it last time, stationing coalition forces there. Not that that's going to happen.
