I disagree with them. Sure renewable energy fluctuates over time, but only
integration is not enough to solve this problem. Specially at night that is
common to have not wind neither wave movements beyond the obvious lack of
solar light (in despite their midnight sun) as I believe some weather
expert would better explain.
Even during a day, the sunlight may not be enough to activate the solar
panels, because there is an operational range I think there is a connection
between the clouds that would block sun beams and the winds I mean the
warmming soil process generate winds.
+brazilianniceguy Deep Cycle Batteries could solve the lack of energy at nights. About the required energy to activate a solar cell, there is radiaton data and models that allow us to calculate how much energy we would be able to produce basing on the weather of the geographical location and the type of cell, so the ammount of energy it's a known fact when it comes to installing solar panels.- (I don't speak english very well but it's understable)
+Tyler Peterson XD ... i wish i could tell you more , ok ill try a little... even humanity leaves earth most of the 7 billion on the planet will stay with earth ... so the people who stay will try to make it survivable for as long as possible .... you may think its impossible to outlast the ever growing sun , but we are working on ways to do this ... besides that humans over time do have an effect ... but everything is perfect the way it is ... but we cant mess up ... its complicated
+J-N-H-M I don't think you realize just how little heat we extract from the earth compared to how much there is. Also, why do the future generations need protection from the sun. In the future, when the sun is expanding and earth is in its path, we need to flee the planet. Having a warm core will not help our planet.
The REAL FUTURE of ENERGY is THORIUM!
It's SUPER CLEAN.. SUPER SUSTAINABLE.. SUPER SAFE.. AND SUPER ABUNDANT!!!
PLEASE, google it, and watch videos about it, support it, and then make
sure to spread the word!
It's YOUR word against that of those greedy rich and vile capitalists and
politicians who just want to make sure their billions of investments in
DIRTY POLLUTING petrol is safe!
USE HEMP TO PRODUCE ALMOST ALL YOUR ENERGY. IT WILL CLEAN THE ENVIRONMENT,
PRODUCE FOOD, CLOTHING AND BUILDING MATERIEL FOR HOUSES AND CARS. CAN
PRODUCE YOUR FUEL FOR YOUR DIESEL CAR. ALSO USE ECONO KIT IN CAR TO REDUCE
YOUR POLLUTION. GREAT IDEAS START OUTSIDE THE BOX THINKING. ELECTRIC CARS
IS THE BEST IDEA. NICOLAS TESLA IDEAS SHOULD BE LOOK AT. ENERGY FROM THE
VACCUM SHOULD BE OUR STUDY TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM POLLUTION. RECYCLE
ELECTRIC SHOULD BE ON YOUR LIST. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR PROJECTS.
+Guymick Cormic Hemp as a source of energy like all bio-fuels are far from clean. As for it been used for bio-fuel there are plenty of plants better suited like sugarcane. As a material it should be considered as it can be grown plentiful in a short length of time. As for a clean energy source It's all about Thorium fission reactors ;).
using biomass does not save co2 emissions.
Biofuels are a a lie, that co2 capture by crops would be keep capture if
you have natural land instead crops, that biomass they extract would help
instead as compost for next crops if is not extracted.
Is just an illusion, what you think that you save, you are adding to the
bill of food production and other areas..
But well, maybe I am wrong, there are some parts of the video that I dont
understand, they return some part of the biomass to the fields..
Not sure how they achieve all that biomass transport and heat transport at
big distances without big energy loses.
The tuff they put back in the crops is digestate, which is an organic liquid compost. Biomass for biogas should exclude food crops and should be from waste sources only, like yard waste and food waste and waste water treatment plants. They completely forget about waste water treatment plants and the biogas they produce. I say biomass from waste sources only or none at all.
+AngelLestat2 it is not about stopping CO2 emission but slowing and stalling them. also the biomass is used to "store" the energy is only going to be used until battery tech becomes better then it is.
have an idea that does not require bio gas, wind solar, coal or any thing
you know. you can give power to the world. the earth will go green in 5
years.
Where is the energy saving in this integration ? Who will calculate the
cost of all those pipes and devices and the communication systems and alarm
systems, etc. Isn't it easier, just to improve the processing of oil and
get less dirty gases?
+Val Boyanov Nope, the worlds oil reserves are not limitless, eventually we have to find alternatives, and that is what especially the Nordic countries are doing, and have done for years.
+Peter Knagge One entity is much easier to protect from terrorist, than multiple targets (distributed energy), because a high level technology can be applied. For small target high level protection is not possible, because it will cost a lot. It is called " economies of scale". On top of that, any new comer hacker can get entrance examination to the gangsters, putting any small entity on black-out. On water desalination, yes it is expensive, but in all Middle East they do and it works. It doesn't cost one millionth even of the promotional campaign of renewables, including conferences and flight tickets.
+Val Boyanov are we watching the same video? alsoAgain we have a water, nuclear and fossil fuel crisis, your plan is financially and environmentally unsustainable. The desalination plant in Sydney Australia costs $500,000 a day to run and it's only in standby mode. UN and industry reports show that we will run out of water, oil, and nuclear resources by 2050. How are we to transport nuclear energy? Where how much will it cost and where will we store nuclear waste for maybe over a million years? As for terrorists, statistically I'd much prefer many targets then just one easy target controlling all power that's also a nuclear plant to boot. Are you saying you support Iran's and North Korea's nuclear power program?plus “98% Of Electricity Can Be Generated By Solar Panels At Alabama Steel Plant”//solarlove.org/98-electricity-can-generated-solar-panels-alabama-steel-plant/“Wind turbines providing power to the BMW Leipzig Plant”https://www.bmwcca.org/sites/default/files/content/media/image/i8-Production-6.jpgMany countries have over 30% or more renewable energy like Germany for one example, unfortunately a few countries will never catch up and will be left behind https://yearbook.enerdata.net/renewable-in-electricity-production-share-by-region.htmlThe aesthetic argument against renewable energy is spurious at best, the sight and noise environment impact of renewable energy is minimal and is incredibly land space efficient, and opposed to what? I suppose you are all racing to have a coal or nuclear power plant in your backyard?
+Peter Knagge Air pollution is mostly driven by the cars. Of course thermal power takes also a big portion. Filter is the solution - passive, chemical, electrical, etc. But the "renewable revolution" does not support this investments. <span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black">The United States has three main sources of electricity according to the Energy Information Administration: Coal at 39%, Natural Gas at 27%, and Nuclear Power at 19%.<span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black">Even with this step of development renewable can not replace the existing power generation. In the same time - no investments. No logic.
+luminouslights I like the feeling on the top of wind tower, I like also the humming of the propeller. But:- it is against the law of the market, to subsidies one technology, on the expense of another- it is against the common logic, that any European country is subsidizing a producer from China, India or other outside Europe. Same for US. Subsidies must go to the producers of the same country or group of countries.- it is landscape polluting, both solar and wind. All becomes ugly. The small water power kills the fish in the rivers.- it is expensive, because:= subsidies= it needs a lot of distributed energy measures= it is vulnerable this distributed energy. We hear these days about hacker attacks against high level authorities in US. With distributed energy vulnerability goes to very high level. It cost money. It is much cheaper to protect one big nuclear power station, than thousand of wind stations. = the vulnerability of the system also shows that renewable can not go more than 15-20% of the total energy mix. Nowadays everybody talks about renewable, pushing subsidies. What about the rest of 80% ? No subsidies, no investments, time is coming we pay great price for that.= talking about talking, who can estimate the cost of this "renewable campaign" all over the world - yotta bites of information produced, trillion of paper wasted, conferences, congresses, flights, hotels, etc. - may be already more than billion USD ?Coal is a very unclean and very non-renewable energy source. However, it does have a redeeming quality: it is comprised of many other minerals and metals that make up the leftover remains when coal is used. One of those metals: lithium. Lithium is the most important element of the distributed energy, because distributed energy needs batteries.
Even with subsidies renewable energy is cheaper, easier and less stress than subsidised fossil fuels. (//www.iena.org/News/Description.aspx%3FNType%3DA%26mnu%3Dcat%26PriMenuID%3D16%26CatID%3D84%26News_ID%3D386&ved=0CCkQFjAE&usg=AFQjCNETVEzrXgxJO_N-NRvof9-bX77ydg&sig2=DeaLmXNCpvUmebUwFGl3VQ) There is now no excuse not to update to clean renewable energy.
Desalination plants are expensive to operate.Plus pollution from fossil fuels causes millions of deaths every year due to disease (//www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs313/en/).

Among my greatest fears as an American is that Europe will again come under
the grips of charismatic madmen bent on forcing themselves onto everyone
around them. That France and the UK have a modest nuclear arsenal makes the
prospect of those countries ceasing to be consensual societies even more
terrifying.
And Jacob Rees-Mogg eloquently gives me reason to have nightmares about
that possibility.
+Jak Kuhl Among my greatest fears as an American is that Europe will again come under the grips of charismatic madmenLike Donald Trump or Sarah Palin? That age has gone in Northern Europe at least, but is alive and well in Russia, with Czar Vladimir. In fact real power in the West lies with the billionaire corporate oligarchs, who have their power base in the US, and who control American politics especially and international trade and finance. Money is the real power, not demagogues.
And democracy is a threat to any society. I am so fed up with this
ridiculous game they call 'democracy'. Same, corrupt political elites
destroying the country and then persuading a sea of ignorant morons to give
them a vote. It is grotesque.
+Ted StrikerFirst of all, I live in a country that is very similar to Switzerland (Belgium is also a 10M inhabitants multilinguistic neutral country), but my country isn't a great, and I believe it's 95% due to politics. The key element of Switzerland is it's direct democracy features, especially when it comes to law making. When a law is introduced by the government in Switzerland, everyone knows it trought a weekly paper "la revue fédérale". If 50k people disagree with the law, they can fill a paper and send it to their local government agency. At this point, a referendum is made, and if a majority of voters doesn't vote in favor of the law, it goes straight to the thrash. Not voting counts as a "no". For instance, if a law is proposed in order to ban pistols, most pistol owners will fill the paper to challenge it, and the law is dead unless 50% of the voting populations intervenes to save it. Because it's nearly impossible to get an absolute majority on an issue, most abusive laws that are endemic to Europe never get to Switzerland.
+iotaje1Yes, we could. But I know little about Switzerland. Maybe it's the small size that matters. I have always been skeptical about democracy in giant states. But it seems painfully obvious that politicians who are elected to rule for four years at a time, don't really have long term interests in mind, not to mention they often make arguments that are easy to understand by the masses, but do not necessarily hold water. Many European countries are outright suicidal, with political elites that do not serve the interests of their people.
+Ted StrikerThat's a demonstration that a representative democracy with an incredibly concentrated political power generates corruption. On the other hand, there are a few examples of democracies working very well, Switzerland comes to mind.
+iotaje1I believe democracy is a system that we should not embrace. I do not advocate fascism. But if you look at democracies like the USA, it is sickening to what degree they are corrupt. In reality you have a small ruling elite: bankers, corporations, and a narrow circle of politicians. Bush #1, then Bush #2, Clinton#1, now perhaps Clinton #2... The media are largely owned by a Jewish elite that promotes its own interests. The kind of choices people can make are virtually meaningless, not to mention the bulk of the people literally have no ability to judge what the consequences of their votes would be. You might as well let a flock of sheep vote.
