How green energy will change our future - Docu

- How will green energy change our future? What will our future look like with green energy? The growth of green energy goes together with change. Our future will not only include green energy, but our future will also be shaped by it.
What will the future sustainable world look like? That is the big question, now that the global transition towards sustainable energy is gaining momentum. For the growth of sustainable energy involves a lot more changes than just the color of the power supplied to our homes. How will we build, how will our mobility be impacted, and will energy, one day, be free? Just like the Internet turned out to have an unforeseen influence on all kinds of industries, from music to taxi businesses, the transition towards sustainable energy will also rise beyond the energy sector. And with a much wider impact than is now assumed. But we know surprisingly little about what that world will look like, and how the people in it will live, work and move around. Expectations are that, by the 2050s, two-thirds of the electricity generated globally will be sustainable.
The Netherlands is ambitious too. But what kind of world are we heading for, really, with all these sustainable measures? In partial areas, the future is clear: a massive stop to the use of gas, lots of windmills and solar panels, and perhaps a self-driving car outside. But, for now, there is no wider vision of what the sustainable new world will look like. What will the world be like once energy has become practically free? What will the impact of the transition towards sustainable energy be on the balance of power in the world?
A journey along places where the sustainable future is already (nearly) visible. In China, for example, old collapsed coal mines are given a new destination as solar parks. In Denmark, the power plants of the future also serve as skiing slopes. And in Malmö, Sweden, new leases are signed with green fingers.

This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "different methods to generate electricity" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Diyadison Penhloe Blaster - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a good one off guide for generating your own electricity minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my brother in law got great results with it.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
POV your watching this for school so you scrolled down to the comments
" Energy independence is economic security, food security and even national security. " Well said! The children of the future will not know war. They will know peace instead and hopefully they will also thank us for our efforts to create that future. Haha! The ski slope on the old energy plant is brilliant! 🧘♀️🧘♂️💖🌧🌧🌧🌍🌎🌏🌧🌧🌧💖🧘♂️🧘♀️
thevso In Our children, and their children’s future will be living in Eco houses, in Tree based villages, and 75% of the agricultural land is rewilded due to the animal agriculture industry being consigned to the history books. People will live close to nature, and as our true Herbivorous, Social, peaceful, Cooperative animal, that we are!. We have thriving examples of Eco living, and we know the solutions, we need to organise locally with LA to install Micro renewable energy, water source heat pumps, the building of Photo Bio Reactors (PBR) to grow Carbon Negative Algea Bio Fuel, The Algea can be fed waste water, Lanfill Runoff, Industrial Gasses. We live in hope! ✊🏽🌎🌻
Im children and im not stupid
@thevso You're on crack for sure.
Wonderful documentary! Thanks you again... You guys are amazing!
who wants to live in an apartment block like a battery hen? I love having my own garden.
Love your documentaries❤️
This channel is incredible. Dear Netherlands, thank you for putting such excellent content into the world.
Netherlands is such a great country except their carbon footprint is too high and very dirty electricity.
Yeah, thank you for lots of eco-fluff. Maybe smarten up on what's not working in NL, like their insane taxes, immigration and the huge amount of wealth they are making with oil and rainforest lumber. Intellectuals are fleeing the country b/c of the ignorance they are selling as liberalism.
Wonderful and imagination filled approach - with harm to none!
This is a no brainier, and decentralization is the key. That is the very thing loathed by the current titans of dirty energy.
I agree and believe that technology organizations that utilize blockchain will increase the competition against the current Titans
Anonymous Hippopotamus Absolutely, and not just with energy, the future will be a decentralised one, which means the end of all the current power bases!
B. Rippy The Current Global Warming is not ‘natural’ but man made, to go on about monsters then throw climate change in with a load of natural events is a silly attempt at covering the misinformation you are spreading!. Or it was all meant to be bs, either way it seems you have nothing intelligent to say.
Yes. Centralization leads to Venezuela.
Macio Luko What do you mean by that?, and going by your ‘theory’ centralisation has led to a society that is massively undemocratic and so has put all the power to a few people who are trashing the earth. The US being probably the most obvious example!!. These Centralised ‘Democracies’ have been responsible for Colonialism and more recently Neo-Colonialism, and resource wars, Coups in South American countries such as El Salvador etc, NOW the highly Centralised US is attempting to pull a Coup in Venezuela to get their hands on the Oil, Gold, Diamonds etc.
I Love this!
Some talks missed subtitle 😢 By the ways I adorably proud of your work, Thanks but dont become lazy as we are. VPro teaching us Valuable Principles for our future.
I'm planning to build a small apartment building and I want it to be net positive energy (generate more energy than it uses) and make it as sustainable as possible. These videos have given me some good ideas. I want it to be 100% electric, no gas.

Me encantan esta clase de documentales, y agradezco al equipo encargado de permitir que este contenido llege a otras lenguas. Realmente innovador, visionario e inspirador. Bien lo dice Varun Sivaram e interpreto un paradigma dentro del paradigma de las renovables ... El metabolismo social sostenible y la innovacion e inversion tanto como en infraestructura, tecnologia y nuevos modelos de negocios permitiran el exito del empuje que hace China y otros paises para hacer frente a los desafios que enfretamos como civilizacion.
He said in the first sentence the truth. Make it a better design and it will win.
Giga Factories are the Prime Solution, to decentralize Energy via Alternates, Innovation in Storage devices(Batteries) are the key. And then surely there are deep impacts, only for the deep minds to understand and find greater applications.
fantastic doc! The architect lays down a really amazing insight. The amazing new thinking of today will be normal for the children of tomorrow. The world is moving forward, while in america, the fearful, the ignorant cling to the past systems. That will be their loss and the world will not look back.
What do you mean people are clinging to past systems?
el scientifico
if there is a tomarrow ??
@el scientifico you're being blinded by the amazing TECH smokescreen you see from and in china
What about its totally corrupt political system and its complete total violation of privacy and censorship?
You need to see Equilibrium, pretty sure that's the future you want.... where concrete and tech is perfect but mankind is just meatbags going on about senselessly and emotionless
Translations would have been nice?
Hi Gert Wolmarans, did you switch on the subs in CC?
@@vprodocumentary Thank you.
Great video
I so enjoy the forward thinking ingenuity of the collective Chinese clean energy community design ethos.
even though they just finished building 40 coal powered plants?
@@morgangrey4020 That was last week this week it's more II'm sure.!!LOL
And they destroyed the corals in the south china sea just for geopolitical gains. That is Clean Energy leader China for you.
Like anywhere different places in China obviously have different budgets so they will build what they can afford until they can afford better....
So true, Now! I live in a small town And our home environment is quite safe and clean, Aha, it's a perfect for me 🤭😊🤗😇
A big part of the problem right now is that we have become part of this machine that is the fossil fuel industry. It has come to dictate much of the way we live. Too few people realise how much of our time in this life is currently still spent purely on making the fossil fuel energy paradigm possible. Logistically and economically. Follow the money. It is the breadcrumbs of our efforts, needs and aspirations. So easily we consider the direct energy margins involved with extraction, 'this' many barrels of energy to extract 'that' many, but fail to consider the human effort implicit in those margins. Society is like a patient trying to point out where it hurts, and it hurts everywhere it is pointing, but it turns out it is the finger used which is injured. We have not yet been able to sufficiently imagine what living in a world where energy is cheaper than the cost to transport it might look like. Which is exactly where the renewable energy revolution is taking us. I can tell you that every logical avenue I have explored indicates to me that the renewable revolution will not just be an energy revolution, but also a revolution in humane standards of living. Humane ways of living. Energy is power. Sustainable distributed energy will empower everybody on this planet to improve their lives. Not only that, but in an environmental sense the transition will be akin to sucking the poison out of a snake bite.
Many look at the way things are now and are convinced that this is the only sensible way to live. Prominently the titans of this fading industry. So they vociferously oppose change. I can even sympathise. They understand that paradigm better than anybody. Their relatively good fortune is underpinned by a certain status quo. Their peace of mind by a whole hearted acceptance of it. But it is not the only way to live. A better way to live is possible. You see it more and more. Individuals, couples and whole families living full, rich, rewarding, healthy and happy lives on barely anything. Simply because technology is starting to make it possible.
All energy is a environmental trade off. There is no such thing as "Free Energy"
"Green Energy" is about one thing and one thing only and that's $$.. period..
It is not about saving the planet and never was and never will be.
To think otherwise makes us Green Sucker's..
It's all a huge marketing racket.
@@dmithsmith5880 Well actually... In a way it's better than free. You get more energy than you put into making solar panels and the return is worth more than it costs to make them. You can take some of the returns and reinvest in new solar panels with equally beneficial results. With relatively low, low environmental impact. Same for wind. All win.
It is also about $$$ as you put it, but that is most definitely true for fossil fuels as well. So I don't see how that is even relevant to the conversation. It is actually cheaper than even coal. Energy infrastructure that pays for itself and then some.
The only difference. Energy independence is possible for every nation on earth. Solar and wind can be assembled anywhere and the materials needed to build them can be sourced from anywhere.
Far, far better.
90% of solar panels are made in enviornmentally unregulated countries and the amount of toxic waste and chemicals that go into the air and water directly from the production of the panels just about 100% negates the "Green" aspect of the entire panel itself before it is even sold... as of now Clean Coal is environmentally more friendly then solar.
@@dmithsmith5880 Yeah see... There's a problem with your argument. Coal mining and the fossil fuel industry release truly vast quantities of toxic waste. Prominently heavy metal and metalloid pollution. Including lead, mercury and arsenic. Compare this with silicon panels which typically only release a variety of acids and a few types of solvents: "The PV cell manufacturing process includes a number of hazardous materials, most of which are used to clean and purify the semiconductor surface. These chemicals, similar to those used in the general semiconductor industry, include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrogen fluoride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and acetone. The amount and type of chemicals used depends on the type of cell, the amount of cleaning that is needed, and the size of silicon wafer". So A: The type of pollution from solar panel production is significantly more benign and manageable. And B: Not all panels are equal. Some types produce hardly any significant pollution compared to say... The world vacuum cleaner industry. And the tech and it's environmental credential are improving all the time. With increases in efficiency you effectively get more bang for your buck. Be that the financial buck or the environmental buck.
And then there's the CO2 emissions which by any reasonable metric is our greatest current concern.
Wind has a basically negligible impact. Batteries are still fairly heavy polluters (again nothing near the levels of the fossil fuel industry), but improving all the time due to significant ongoing material science research all over the the world. For example soon Tesla might not even use cobalt in their batteries anymore. Negating the entire environmental consequence of sourcing and using that element.
Basically any and all pollution generated by all renewable power hardware manufacture is vastly overshadowed and outclassed completely by the effects of the fossil fuel industry.
In my book renewable power is the better option. I'll rather go with a better option than no option. It is utterly critical that the renewable power industry proliferates.
@B. Rippy Blah.. blah... Plants need water too and you don't see plants thriving in a lake of boiling water. If the climate gets too hot then it'll make no difference whether plants like the CO2 or not. Half the species of animal on earth or more will not be able to adapt quickly enough and just die out. Sure plants will survive wherever the climate still suits them. If there's more CO2 then they will thrive in climates suitable to them. But I'm not a plant sir, and neither are you. We're ultimately talking about our own survival here. I'm happy that Las Vegas got a bit of snow for the first time, but my city reached 50C in places for the first time ever a few years ago. Climate "change". "average" heating. If you don't get those concepts then I assure you. You do not have the mental capacity to be part of the discussion. Or at the very least need to go back to school for a while. Just stick to what you are good at. There is no shame in it.
@ It's the latest movie produced by Michael Moore. To say it's eye
opening is the understatement of the century.
Do solar panels and / or Wind Turbines cause any environmental pollution ? (during their construction or at the end of their life) ... or any environmental damage?
Very adroitly put that first 17 seconds, ^oo^
My thoughts exactly.
Mike drop!
Innovation will continue in all countries, some might move slightly ahead but basically the world will move forward together.

Here you are, another idea (for free AGAIN) why not drill into the planets crust to a certain depth (mathematical equations needed for depth and pressure) once you drill farther enough down there is pressure and heat when you pump water down it, it would turn turbines at immense speed. Take this idea and use it if you want…!!!!! ❤
One solution to. the intermitent energy supply is to pump water into a reservoir using surplus energy then release it through a turbine when energy is needed
@thevso Renewable energy produced does not always match up with energy demand and so there is a surplus at times. That's when you use the surplus energy to pump water to a reservoir at a higher elevation to run turbines when there is energy demand. Demand is generally late in the day when the sun is much less strong or has set.
Whooo....Green Energy! I imagine a future where every man, woman and child on Earth has their very own Power Ring and Lantern, energized by the Pure Holy, Mystic Power of our Collective Will!
"In Brightest Day!

No Evil Shall Escape Our Sight!"
This is absolutely amazing and it is a no brainer, btw decentralized energy across world wow🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
yeah... only, you can't have *both* - a reliable AND ecological power grid AND large amount of locally produced power from intermittent sources. Unfortunately, the laws of physics dictate that. That's why we don't have it yet. What they are showing here is only "semi-working" because of huge subsidies and nuclear power stations in France and Belgium stabilizing the EU power grid.
I wrote my comment before I got to the bit about China, very inspiring, I wish they would be inspiring about the way they treat the people of Hong Kong, and not oppressive.
GOOD EDUCATION VIDEO
cool beans, part old school was, idea's was a 10k kg gyro, for storing power to be use between summer/winter times, I always like Geothermal as the best. maybe Plasma 4 th state of matter, will be Next...
Sick bro
Bjarke I have the game changing wind turbine design...I am an architect too.
Storage costs are falling on a similar cost curve to solar and storage also increases the value of renewables. I think the grid will ultimately be a combination of nuclear, renewables, and storage. Storage and nuclear is where investment should be directed
Nuclear is already a huge disaster.
The real costs are basicly not to number a single nuclear plant costs more in total than the entire US ever spend on anything.
Nuclear is trash from the past, the best example what happens when we give the military a say in technology.
Pumped air on the ocean floor in oil well would be a great way to store energy
sounds like you are pro-fossil fuels.
@B. Rippy "pumped air energy storage" google it, very interesting technology
China giving with one hand, taking away with the other. As of 2019... China 1,000 gigawatts of existing coal capacity, China has 121 gigawatts of coal plants under construction, which is more than is being built in the rest of the world combined. China was the country with the highest installed capacity of coal power plants, amounting to over 973,000 megawatts.
In 2017, there were 359 coal-powered units at the electrical utilities across the US, with a total nominal capacity of 256 GW. U.S. power companies expect to retire or convert from coal to gas over 10,600 megawatts (MW) of coal-fired plants in 2019 after shutting over 13,000 MW in 2018, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and Thomson Reuters data.
sy2532 Do you know about what kind of coal burning plants they are building and will they make the old one’s obsolete?
And this is why we have blackouts today,,,,,,,BTW where do you think steel comes from?
True facts.
Enjoyed the program. Only problem that no summary of Chinese comments
you have to activate the captions (not automatic ones the other EN option). Or you can save time and open the transcript function.
I keep informed on Green Energy - but this was surprising info. Very well done.
Great doc just wish there was translation in the parts that spoke other languages
There is translation! Just press (c) on your keyboard or click on the wheel in the lower left corner on the video to choose the language of your choice.
Subtitles.
Coal will probably be completely fazed out, but Natural Gas will still have uses in Peaker plants, some industrial processes, and any industry that can't easily de-carbonize (airplanes, ships).
I'm so relieved this is all FINALLY happening around the world. Now we need to get our $h!t together in the United States!
@thevso NOB 😂 just watch what happens..,!!!!!!!
This documentary shows perfectly clear that solid state batteries is where the next energy revolution will happen. The new "fracking" so to speak...
Reliable renewable is at present a pipedream. With all the extra load that will be placed on an already creaking infrastructure with the introduction of electric transport, take away the back up of fossil fuel burners and things will fall down pretty fast.
The middle part of the doc is all in Chinese. Make sure you have subtitles turned on.
Thanks for letting everyone know... I faced the same issue :)
one can use the transcript function to read and skip that part (EN not EN automatically generated.
The automatic generated subtitles have become surprisingly good.
Or learn Chinese .... 🙃
Lol the corporations don't want decentralization. They hate losing control and power. Don't expect to be allowed to own your own electricity supply independent of 'the grid'.
control and power.. true.
The problem is that people working for governments or things like the CFR do not produce anything. Basically políticos and the chattering class do not work in the power industry. We who do work in electric utilities understand emissions are a problem, and we must also think about reliability. As such, so called ‘smart’ technologies and automated load control - especially as regards Hvac - will be essential.
Lots of creative Europeans here doing a lot of creative thinking, especially the gentleman with the tufty hair, good show, keep it up.
I think the Americans are about to go the same way, it’s gathered pace here in the U.K, we get teased about having less sun than many countries but we have a very long windy coastline. Which I think the Queen owns, but she will go with this, and when Prince Charles is on the throne a lot will happen, he loves all this stuff. He used to get stick for being a Nutter but he was dead right.
I love the sustainable city,as the world population grows more people will need to live in city's.Plants should be grow every were,green walls,green houses on roofs and balconies and parks,plants in doors.Would be great if you had food clubs to share with your neighbours,grow your own.
I have experimented with plants and grow my own tomatoes, lemons and runner beans,some veg will only be available seasonally the rest of the time use preserved (frozen or caned)I only have a small space but could do much more that's the way to go.
The only problem with that is the water factor and the fact that plant roots have an ability to slowly push through even concrete (which has components they can utilize) .So infrastructure will collapse over shorter time spans than they would otherwise.
I hold a right to stay put. I won't be supporting planned obsolescence in Android Goshen-Tulare County California. That's too much to ask of us from #8. Thanks for your understanding.
How i wish we this could be the thinking in Africa
It's an important notion that we should embrace mass energy consumption and stop seeing it as a problem and look at it as a challenge instead. Solar dropping 10x in price in the past 10 years means 10x more energy for the same money. The next decades look like that there will be some more drops. So that brings the question to the table what we would do if we could use 100-1000X more energy personally and collectively with absolutely no negative consequences.
What are we going to do with that energy? Well, if you look at most structural problems in this world, having a lot of energy helps solve them. Food production is a great example. It requires light and water to grow stuff. You can produce both with energy. Making clean energy cheaper, means making food production cheaper. Also, it makes transport and logistics cheaper and cleaner. People are worried about their carbon footprints when they are flying. What if you could fly electrically and the electricity costs next to nothing, the planes don't make a lot of noise, and they fly themselves? Suddenly it goes from a wasteful and expensive way to get around to being the most convenient way to get from A to B.
Often overlooked is fuel production. Fuel is simply stored energy. One use of excess solar is simply producing fuel that can be stored and burned at a later time. We are rapidly approaching the point where that is both feasible and cheaper than mining it from fossil deposits. Converting C02 and H2O into more complicated carbohydrates is not rocket science but it can power them. All it takes is energy and a bit of ingenuity.
character. Ahead ignorance of winds and Tides infinite times more powerful than nuclear meltdowns 40,000 years liabilities viruses
Humanity must live in accordance with the Earth can provide, that requires inventories, global planning and a culture based on nature values.
Or, you know, nuclear energy, in which case we can continue on as usual....
Energy elects policy of the worst possible charater.
What you mean@@stevenlonien7857 ?
how come there were no subtitles where that Chinese guy was speaking (23:30). Would have been nice to know what they were saying about renewables.
Battery technology is the future of green technology.
@B. Rippy
1) You assume "Lithium" is the only solution. Absolutely not.
Lithium is used now, for transport, due to its energy density.
That's not important for static storage.
2) where do you think the lithium that's being "mined" now came from?
Clue? Much is in brine........ Seawater!
Somehow I don't think we're running short of that?
there ARE subs for the Dutch and Chinese part, but you have to activate them (bottom right corner of the video window, not automatic captions but the other EN option), you can also open the transcript to read them
@@rogerstarkey5390 it is "brine" but not oceanwater - it is brine from lakes (many in Chile). There are mines as well - I think in Afghanistan. - I do hope they find a replacement for Lithium though, raw materials that are less harmful when extracted and more widespread (no offense Chile).
Renewables will NEVER be enough if we are not ready to decrease our energy consumption. Not enough of everything that is constituent of renewables.
Yet there's 80 million additional people on this planet every single year. It is unlikely that consumption will ever decrease until population stops growing and every person on earth gets middle-class lifestyle.
Renewables simply won't be enough. Maybe nuclear if people stop thinking irrationally.
The world is going too need Nuclear power too keep up with demand of energy but wind and solar will definitely have there roll as well
I hope you doing good what's up your but I like the video now
I like to bake kale until it's crisp and eat it as a snack food. Unfortunately I also have a serious truffle addiction and will eat rich chocolate balls until it's absolutely ridiculous. I make my own since I only eat European chocolate, preferably Swiss chocolate, which is expensive in the US but less expensive if I buy it in quantity and make the candies myself. I've become pretty good at it.

It was a good programme, but it would have been better with some English subtitles. I speak neither Dutch or Mandarin.
Hi Michael Ginever, if you put them on in CC then you can watch it with English subtitles!
Storage is the next problem for us to solve - what about this technology? Cool, no?

Chinese thinks in long term, is that why they built ghost cities?
it is concept in general asians believe in long term survival. is what she meant. Having said, money and greed can lead to mistakes. And these are done by corrupt few individuals, not a society as a whole. And these mistakes are common all around the world, it is driven by greed by few rich, powerful individuals often.
those ghost cities are gradually filling
The ghost cities are mostly based on market speculation and bought as investments. A good portion of these houses have been built super cheaply to take advantage of this and become rundown very quickly.
Those ghost cities are the products of (over) speculation and money printing from the government, it is not from a long term mindset. The developers built the apartments just like factories making their products but without enough demands.
@@kirankankipati-thelinuxcha689 one child policy seems was also "long term policy". Not that successful however. Now China will get older very soon. On top of this huge surplus of men over women results in even bigger issues in demographics.
Going for the reduction of fossil fuel looks correct but this is mainly effect of the previous problems (industrialisation and enormous smog).
Huh.....works great till its cloudy or the wind stops !!!!!
Subtitle please. I can't understand German or Mandarin. I just know how it sounds. I'd love to actually understand the docu in full. Thanks.
AkoSi Waray you have to activate youtube closed captioning! It translates it for you.
Anyone have summary of this?
yeah its bs. most everything is already ruined and can't be fixed. ie when how are they going to take the plastic out of the ocean bring back the already extinct etc.
They talk free free free but what about the installing cost ? I after watching documentary like this start to contact solar panels installing company but the price is too high for middle class family like us
Today I filled up with regular gas for $2.28 per gallon in my Cadillac Escalade in Chattanooga TN. It is not a sustainable model but a lot of energy and material went into the production of this Cadillac so I might as well put another 100,000 miles on it. Hopefully in 5 years, 3D manufacturing techniques will allow full size SUV's demanded by affluent American consumers to be manufactured stronger but lighter, more efficient powered by CNG or better yet hyrogen fuel cells. The success of green energy will be fulfilled when we all live like kings and queens served by robots performing the undersirable tasks of life. Floating cities of continental scale built on the ocean in temperate zones. The possibilities are endless.

No, they don't, there are no grid level storage batteries.
@@chapter4travels Yes, they do. Look up their Powerpack series of batteries.
getsnoopy5f Those are grid stabilization not grid storage
@@stefanmarxmeier3179 They're for both. You can see examples of this on Ta‘u and in Osaka
getsnoopy5f Those aren’t grids those are islands with hardly any seasons
Look I’m not against solar but you can’t rely on it without a massive fleet of EVs
Now in Feb. 2021 we in Germany as the leader of The Grat Transformation can see and feel the first results of the hype for Green Energie" - we have the highest energie prices all over the world (only topped by the Barmudas). And the future of our industrie is dark. And that is just the beginning - beside "The Grat Transformation" we habe to deal with "Covid 19", "The Great Reset" and the "New Green Deal". Guten Tag.
and Dutch?
As work and shop from home becomes the new norm, energy draw from a grid will become more predictable, thus peaker plant/ mega pack battery storage use will stabilize. Tesla vehicle to grid and virtual power plant tech and trading know how has already empowered battery storage owner the monetary model that allows them to sell, at a profit by sharing or selling your excess power production. I know the future is brighter with renewable.
How do you build windmill farms and solar plants without using fossil energy? Each plant must be renewed at least every 30 - 35 years.
The EROI on these sources is very high, so even when produced from coal power, they reduce emissions by a massive amount. You can then use these source to power the factors as well.
"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark...." seems need some changes!!
This is from Holland and Sweden, not the same thing. Wind power in Denmark has hit a roadblock. Nobody wants their ocean view spoiled by turbines. So even if the Danish government have goals for getting more EVs on the road, no plan for renewable energy exists to match that demand. That's why it isn't featured in this video.
What avout dynamic fidal lower?
Way to go! The corona virus would speed up this way of living !
The future of energy is wind and water these 2 can connect and make real electric plants to carry us to our future.
That future assures global poverty
@@chapter4travels governments own ocean fronts and land where to build these systems.
This vídeo its the reality
Im in florida and we have the only solar farms in the country besides california (which only has one!!) we need to invest and fund R&D here in the US to invent the most efficient and least polluting production methods for solar!!! we need to store the huge farms in cali (they have the most sunlight AND the most physical extra space) and send the power out to the rest of the country!
A two minute search on Google would show how wrong this statement is. Over 250,000 people are currently employed in the US solar industry, and it is increasing rapidly. Although it is true that California has the greatest number of solar farms, other states such as Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Hawaii have all started building plants. Texas, which has the greatest potential for solar is, unfortunately, slow to take advantage due to resistance from the powerful fossil fuel lobby in that state.

Why don't they come up with something like this in England?
Solar is good, Molten Salt Reactors are offering much better long term results .... much less. Need to deal with difficulties in recycling as components age ....
Green energy fact: if we put all green energy subsidies together in one-dollar bills and burn them, we could generate more electricity than has been produced by subsidized green energy
Obviously, this was made pre-pandemic. The bike rental system nowadays would require wide-scale sterilization, which I think is a bit unrealistic.
storage is the problem here is where imagination is required. Herd of under ground storage of air. Was said to be not efficient,because of the heat and cold created by the compression and expansion. Both of those are sellable commodities,the short sided people saw a loss is an opportunity for profit.
It was alot of Solerpanel just to make 150 Megawatt energy, when you can make the same enrgy with only 19 windmill's 1 windturbine make 8 Megawatt, so you only need 19 of them, and the space all the solar panels take, and all the metal they use just to keep the panel flot on the river, then i'm more in to wind turbine like we use in Denmark, in year 2030 we will have only wind turbine energy in all our contry, clean energy for all the contry only with windturbine, we already have 50-60% now, so soon we will be up on 100% wind turbine energy for all our contry and even sell to Sweden or Germany clean energy..Vestas wind turbine in Denmark made in Denmark.
Too bad the costs for each type of power production was not discussed. They probably though solar was the way to go with low cost labor and little machinery. Very scalable.

What's the idea behind having an English speaking documentary, but including large segments of Dutch or Chinese, etc language that is completely unintelligible and without subtitles or any further explanation of those particular long and involved discourses? I feel I'm missing out on important details those individuals are sharing at length. Informative doco anyway, but very frustrating for me in that regard.
Hi Chris Wood, we understand your frustration but we are Dutch broadcaster and we are not dubbing our documentaries. However, you should be possible to see it with English subtitles if you put it on in CC.
The Dutch have a lot of movies with subtitles (it is a small market for TV and movies, much smaller than for the German language), that is why their children are good with reading skills (they must if they want to understand a foreign movie) and the population is good in English in general (which is the most common languge for subs)
And still ... there are videos on youtube claiming Europe doesn't have any technology.
Made by someone who never lived next door to a wind generator. The constant noise pollution from it is enough to drive a person insane.
do YOU live "next" door to a wind generator. In Europe there is zoning - they have to keep a distance to settlements. - that said you want to have a look at the concept of small kites (see Enerkite)
Why is China still opening coal power stations?
Wish somebody translate to Chinese because I cannot understand Chinese or any other language just American English
I’m Canadian and I think about 2050-2100
Unfortunately our politicians only think 4 years ahead and any progress makes Albertans pissy.
IKR
IKR our politicians are one dimensional and short term thinkers
Canadians and recent provincial governments don't like the carbon tax, but they have yet to propose anything else to incentivize the transition to renewable energy. Most politicians don't have answers, since they do not have the training in energy or economic policies. Progressive politicians try too hard and often steer into unproven areas and waste time and money. Conservative politicians don't want to try anything, and consequently don't have any useful ideas other than staying the course. No one has a decent plan and politicians pander to current pain points and not future pain points.
Energy once spent transfers into other forms of energy.
There is no true sustainable energy but what God provides.
Like what and what dose that even mean
@@trekkifpv1976 All energy transfers into heat. Then it is absorbed by the Oceans.
6th mass extinction. All masking effect.
Ocean acidification.
Plastic pollution.
World daily oil consumption..
LPS and other natural gasses daily use worldwide.
Deforestation of old growth cannot be restored planting saplings and seeds.
All human activities expend energy (heat).
Period.

So enjoy the ride.
Good night.
Greatest time to be alive?
@@robertsummerfield3644 indeed sir all true except i take issue with you're implication that all human activity necessarily produces heat i may ask for clarification on that however that's not what i asked ill admit perhaps i wasn't clear my issue was how is god a sustainable energy it was that remark to witch i asked "what dose that even mean" i hope I've been more clear
@@trekkifpv1976 Look at the lightning bugs. None of the light that they emit conducts heat, that's God's doing. Men can't do that.
We cannot even cure the common cold.

This documentary makes me wish I was going to be around to see this! It also makes me wish that I was half as smart as any of the presenters.
Time to start community meetings to control purchase of ICE vehicles. All hands on deck is the call since our politicians are on the nipples of "dirty energy".
