Can Math Solve Renewable Energy's Biggest Nightmare?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- Using Python and Excel I show how renewable energy can be used to provide 24/7 energy. Building on my previous video. I know it's super boring and will be making a short to explain the outcomes.
Otherwise, my outcomes were around 2x the cost of the study I referenced as I did not include hydro, geothermal etc. I also didn't include anything regarding targeting specific areas for the best solar or wind results. Regardless the analysis shows how you can run a nation the size of the USA on a fully renewable system.

This is like Math ASMR - so pleasant to listen to. Let the numbers flow over me
Lol
I just found your channel, and im liking it a lot so far. I've found that it's kind of hard to find good content creators who focus mainly on Canadian poltics, do you have any other recommendations besides yourself?
Oh boy that's a difficult question. It depends on what kind of politics you're interested in. There is much more conservative and people's party leaning RUclipsrs that I have found.
People like: www.youtube.com/@mistersunshinebaby, www.youtube.com/@northernperspective00 or www.youtube.com/@themooseontheloose fall closer to the PPC side.
For conservatives it's like: www.youtube.com/@JJMcCullough JJ but honestly he seems more classical liberal than conservative at this point especially since he's gay it's difficult to push too far to the right.
Then the biggest leftist Canadian I can find is: www.youtube.com/@therationalnational
However there is a distinct lack of liberals - since liberals seem to get hate from both sides. I'll not I'm liberal by definition not part affiliation.
Have you seen David Osmonds example for an Australian renewable grid?
No I wasn't aware of him, but very interesting stuff, looks him and I like doing math. This is the article you're probably think of, reneweconomy.com.au/a-near-100-per-cent-renewables-grid-is-well-within-reach-and-with-little-storage/
10,000 acres of solar panels were just destroyed in Fort Bend Texas because of hail, now we have tons of cadmium and lead leaching into the ground water since there has been no cleanup effort yet, it will probably be not rebuilt, and if it is, it will cost tens of millions. As a side note, the local LNG power plant suffered no damage from the hail storms.
That's sounds terrible. Clearly the company shouldn't have put the solar panels there if it was such a risky place. Hopefully new start ups can learn from.this mistake.
@@DDDecarbon That sounds terrible? It is a fact. You said " Clearly the company shouldn't have put the solar panels there if it was such a risky place" but every place on the planet is an equally :"risky" place. Especially in Canada and Europe. Canada's solar fields failed this winter, and Europe's wind and solar failed miserably, now Germany is bringing coal plants back on line. Let me guess this will get blocked also. That's okay, I am recording everything:)
@@BillyTheKidCENTURION Canada isn't equally risky we have 20% capacity factors in Alberta and 45% for wind. To they seem to work well. Not sure what you're talking about when it comes to Alberta of Canada. Renewables are great:

They lower our power costs:

@@DDDecarbon You can't be serious? A tweet from a "professor" who is a climate doom pusher, and an article from the CBC, a Trudeau government payed entity which pushes the "Climate Crisis" scam.
You will never hear the truth from either of those two sources. If solar, or wind, ever fail to produce promised results, it will never be reported. You will never hear about damaged solar panels, which can't be repaired or recycled, and you will never hear about wind turbines, which are maintenance intensive, short lived, require specialized hydrocarbon based lubricants, and can't be recycled.
By the way you like to say you are a data driven person...... okay, the chart you sent me on the CBC site shows Alberta's energy production increased from from 2015 is primarily from LNG. Yes solar has increased twice as much since 2015, but it only provided 6.8% in 2015, and now provides only 5.8%, how exactly do you square this with cheap energy for Canadians?
Let me guess, this comment will disappear, just like my last ones. You don't want debate, you want humans to decline.
@@DDDecarbon Once again, why was my last response blocked? You said I should go to your discord, why? Shouldn't you take it up with YT for blocking conversations and opposing links that question the "Climate Crisis"...... do you not believe in free speech?
Just fyi, you have a typo in the variable name of initial_guess when there is zero battery capacity
I'll look into it to see if it adjustments the results. Though I don't think it would. Cause I accidentally initialize that variable twice
