Exploring the most successful policies around the world for solving Climate Change by targeting and cutting CO2e emissions. With Robbie Orvis, author of Designing Climate Solutions: A policy Guide for Low-Carbon Energy. Orvis is Director of Energy Policy Design at Energy Innovations.
Fifty percent of all greenhouse gasses come from just seven countries. This is a presentation of the best policies for cutting those emissions and stopping global warming.
In the first episode of this series we learned who the biggest emitters are. In the second, Dr. Francis taught us how those emissions are warming the planet and disrupting the global climate systems.
In this video we’ll explore the most successful policies for targeting and cutting emissions that are in place around the world. And who better to guide us than the person who wrote the book on the subject, Robbie Orvis. [Director of Energy Policy Design, Energy Innovations]
Designing Climate Solutions is an accessible tool for examining all the good work being done to tackle climate change. In it, Orvis and his team analyzed every type of emissions reduction policy around the world to figure out which are most effective. Their premise is simple: to solve this crisis we need to learn from each other what works best as quickly as possible. It was a huge inspiration and help for me in putting this series together so it’s great to be able to hear from Robbie directly.
Generating electricity through the combustion of coal and methane natural gas is currently responsible for the most emissions around the world. There are two main policies to encourage utilities to invest in wind and solar energy production: feed-in tariffs and renewable energy tax credits.
And where we’re going is to an electrify everything strategy to take advantage of all the renewable electricity we’ll soon be generating. The main fossil fuel consumer in the United States is now the transportation sector. So far, the primary tool for governments to lower gasoline consumption, cut emissions, and increase investment in new technologies, like electric vehicles, has been a vehicle performance standard. This sets a minimum limit on the miles per gallon a manufacturer’s entire fleet of vehicles must average.

One of my favorite channel is back. I watched all your video about city. It just wohoo, mind-blowing... The one about Paris was my favorite.
Thank you! Part two of this episode will feature solutions for cities to cut emissions by becoming more pedestrian-friendly. I'll be posting it on Monday, December 7th so keep an eye out 😉
@@TDC_TheDocumentaryChannel I'll be looking forward. The bell button is already on. Keep up the good work.
Good to see your content again!
I feel like it would be worthwhile to mention the EV incentives in Norway.
Wonderful
Is it the efficiency of all cars sold or all the ones manufactured?
Because that's a pretty big freeking (for emphasis) difference.
I used to be involved in vehicle feebate policy and attended an industry symposium that Amory Lovins hosted on the topic many years ago. It's hard to make a feebate policy work for a heterogenous market like passenger vehicles because of the cross-subsidies it creates between different vehicle classes. One way to get around that limitation would be to apply a feebate-type policy to manufacturers' fleet-wide average emissions, rather than individual vehicle models -- similar to a fuel economy standard but with the "standard" replaced by an incentive. Credit trading would be supplanted by feebate revenue transfers.
A similar policy could be used in the utility power market, and was used quite effectively by Sweden in the 1990's for NOx regulation. (In this context the "feebates" are called "Refunded Emission Payments".)

Post more regularly please
The regional/semi-private ERCOT isn't looking quite as great given the failures in management and preparation we've just witnessed in Texas.
You’re alive???!?!?
In my country ( india) they are increasing price of fuel . So that they are indirectly forcing people to buy electric vehicles, induction cooking stove , and cng vehicles , etc.
damn i gotta share this
Please do!
Great video
I am watch a great problem however when corps like BP and others begin to mke this option and accept. Gone be a short more easy BUT not so much because dont depend only of they. Got it? Click in accept the thermes. Read please and got a OPITON if NOT ... yew.
why wasn't you showing up on my subscription list?
Correction: the best solutions if we don't consider modifying people's behaviors
Oh we get to that, stay tuned ;)
Seems this is all about subsidies or penalizing people. That's not worth the switch.
Excellent, we need an update. China is really leading the world in Renewable Energy and Electric Vehicles.
The benefit of an EV is dependent on its "fuel" source. A lot of electricity is still pretty "dirty". I am fortunate to live in Quebec where power is not expensive and primarily hydro generated. I currently drive a plug-in hybrid and go months between gas fills around home.
it never includes population growth or developing countries, or the fact that 0 car factories are actually being converted and only new ones are being built. its the best solution if you ignore people in netherlands who bike, 6-7 billion of us who walk
0.45% of vehicles are electric, renewables are 4% of energy, solar & wind are 2% of energy
Electricity is 20% of energy so 100% renewable electricity is 20% of all energy use
If electricity is 30% of energy by 2050, 80% renewable electricity will be 24% of energy
1% of people control 75% of farmland -- 80% of food grows on small farms
0.5% of vehicles are electric, 2% of energy is solar & wind
20% of energy is electricity, 100% renewable electricity = 20% of energy
*Direct Impacts of Climate Heating*
▷ Heat stress is reducing crop yields.
▷ Heat stress toll on farmers (sometimes fatal).
▷ Heat stress tolls on livestock (often fatal).
▷ Altered precipitation: not enough rain; drought.
▷ Altered precipitation: too much rain; flooding.
▷ Weather whiplashing between drought and flooding (or heat and cold) ruining crops.
▷ Extreme weather physically damaging crops: hail storms, late Spring frosts, early Fall frosts, early warmth confusing plants to bud prematurely, followed by killing frosts.
▷ Wildfires physically destroying crops and livestock and polluting water supplies.
▷ Smoke and other wildfire pollutants damage crops hundreds of km from the burn areas.
▷ Extreme weather damaging food storage infrastructure, disrupting food transportation systems, breaking down “cold chain” systems.
All of these above effects are already cascading into a variety of secondary effects.
Secondary Impacts
▷ Crop and farm failures, financing challenges, farmer migration and suicides, general strikes.
▷ Loss of agricultural labour and resource conflicts.
▷ Crop stress causes stress on seeds and seed viability damage, causing poor crop yields in subsequent years.
▷ Drought and sea-level rise causes salinization contamination is soils and farmland, reducing crop yields for years.
▷ Heat, drought, and overuse of pesticides wipes out good beetles, butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.
▷ Changing precipitation patterns leads to increased breeding of locusts and other crop harming pests.
▷ Drought dries out soils leading to wind blown soil loss and desertification.
▷ Drought and decreases glacial water storage and groundwater infiltration, drying up rivers and amplifying water stress in subsequent years.
▷ Torrential rain leading to flooding caused soil erosion, destroys crops and infrastructure, and carries over to subsequent growing seasons.
▷ Crop losses impact feed prices and supply for the following year.

Vaclav Smil: Why batteries and EVs will take a long time - Vaclav Smil 2019 YT @ 27 :38
▷ Jets are 68% more efficient in 60 years and fly 60 times more people
▷ 4.4 billion air trips were taken in 2018 - 2.63 billion in 2010
▷ If batteries were 6X more efficient we would use 60X more of them
Earth Has An Energy Imbalance and is Heating Dangerously Fast
1968 - 1992 earth heating averaged 1 Hiroshima nuke / sec - Skeptical Science 2014
From 1998 - 2020 earth heating averaged 5 nukes / sec - Skeptical Science 2020
Earth is heating at 400,000 Hrioshima nukes per day - James Hansen 2020
▷ 1971 - 2018 global heating averaged 0.47 watts/m²
▷ 2010 - 2018 heating went up to 0.87 watts/m²
▷ A 46% increase, oceans absorb 89% of the heat - air absorbs 1%
▷ Oceans are reaching their limit for absorbing heat
▷ When the ocean sneezes we all get the flu
Electricity is 20% of energy - renewable is 4% - solar & wind are 2%
4% of mammals are wild by weight - 0.4% of cars are electric
Solar & wind are 2% of energy - IEA 2020 < this link has interactive chart
Geothermal solar wind etc are 2% of energy - Statista 2020 < Other 2%
4% of energy is renewable - WSJ BP 2019
Projected energy sources to 2040 - Statista 2020 = 15% by 2040
2050 : Energy demand to increase 50% - EIA 2019
2050 : 50% of electricity will be renewable - EIA 2019
24% of global energy will be electricity by 2040 - IEA 2019
So if by 2050, 80% of electricity is renewable, and 30% of energy is electricity, then 24% of energy is renewable

*Why Battery Efficiency is The Disease not The Cure*
▷ Jets are 68% more efficient over 60 years and fly 60 times more people
▷ 4.4 billion air trips were taken in 2018 - 2.63 billion in 2010
▷ If batteries were 6X more efficient we would use 60X more of them
I'm sorry but these claims are pretty hard to take or make any sense of without any context. I invite you to give some?
What do you mean by "taken" for instance?
Why would we need billions of airstrip's, one for almost every person?
Jets are 68% more efficient at what? Compared to what? Running on what? 60 times more people then what?
Why would more efficient batteries cause the use of more?
What is your definition of efficiency?
If it's the ability to hold 6x "more" electricity, power something 6x longer, ect. Then would not they be 6x smaller, assuming its for the same purpose?
I honestly would like to know what your thoughts are as you make some hefty claims that if true are very important. But you can't just claim things with 0 context and expect anyone smart to Listen, no offence.
