Seven Little Swords in Treaty Could Bring Vast Power to France
Paris reports that seven obscure phrases in the peace treaty grant France the right to harness Rhine water for power. France would pay Germany for half the water used under article 469, but the potential output could reach 400000 horsepower, transforming energy supply and electrification in northern France and Paris. The proposed dam near Huningen would power plants along multiple locations, with projected costs once estimated at 290 million francs.
