I was thinking about installing solar panels on my roof but this video convinced me to install a nuclear reactor instead, very helpful advice.

Better title: why nuclear energy isn't that bad
and it actually isnt if we can find a nice way to store the waste
@@eccomi21 if you think about it, we better store a waste underground rather than spread it in atmosfer like fossil fuel
@@zee9709 well yes. If we can actually do that. And we can. The only other problem is when shit hits the fan as we saw in Chernobyl and Fukushima.
My point of view simply is that nuclear energy is a clean and viable resource as long as it is done right. Basically the tradeoff for a clean atmosphere is a possible local radioactive wasteland. Unless we get nuclear fusion going.
@@eccomi21 Show me how many people died of radiation poisoning in either of the only two events that antinuclear proponents can cite, both of which were built poorly and had corners being cut to save money.
@@cadkls isn't thorium meant to fix this?
also hows the progress on that going?
"You cant ignore statistics."
The public: "Hold my beer..."
I'm amazed that this is allowed to be seen in 2023. Australia is just starting to go down this path, and already our power bills have doubled, and our current government is hell-bent on continuing.
You sure that is due to renewables? Something tells me there is more to it. Prices everywhere are increasing.
Nuclear would be more expensive too. Nuclear is a lot of things, but you won't see any return on investment for ages, especially since every single effin plant goes over budget by billions upon billions.
Side note for anyone reading. Decentralization of the grid is one of the benefits of renewables honestly.
Australia should have the cheapest power on the planet, vast areas, lots of sun and wind. I suspect there is corruption somewhere in the system. I work on lots of projects with solar PV and even in the UK they payback well within their life span and will pay back several times the initial investment.
@@dianapennepacker6854 Isn't it obvious? They are making power more expensive so nuclear power can keep supplying the market and hiding in plain sight, whilst provisioning the obscene nuclear arms race.
The whole world is corrupted if you all haven't noticed... the whole globe has been through a major scam since 2019... if you're to blind to see.... I don't know what to say
I think it actually might be the gambling ring and corruption, and arresting of whistleblowers, and the terrible government, not renewable energy, although that might have a slight thing to do with it.
Ive had solar on my roof for 21 years and haven’t paid a dime to my utility company. They paid for themselves in five years. A well designed solar system can last forty years.
It's just not efficient enough tho. 25% land in Britain simply cannot be covered by solar panels
And what happens if them fields of solar panels get broken??
@@nymerianan4short314 You order more at exorbitant (and extortionist) cost from the Chinese. Who are polluting the whole world making those things.
@@madlad4206 it doesn’t need to be on land. Rooftops are a common option. Obviously no one is suggesting that solar is the only option. My 12kW array powers my entire home, and the total cost is about 1/3rd of what buying the same power from the utility would be.
@@nymerianan4short314 you fix them. Are you under the impression that the current electric grid doesn’t break down or require maintenance?
Solar panels require far less maintenance than traditional power. No moving parts, just a natural reaction that creates electricity. Occasional cleaning is the only regular maintenance, and in some climates even cleaning is not regularly needed.
Never liked the term "Save the planet" I prefer George Carlin's view "The planet isn't going anywhere... WE are!"
Yes
Exactly
Well, we do need to keep this one safe enough until we can get to that *elsewhere*. So pay attention please, your life may not be at stake here, depending on your age, but that of your grandchildren and theirs is. If you have none, that of your nephews and their grandchildren is at stake. I do not see humanity going anywhere off-world in the coming decades.Or perhaps even centuries. SO the term "save the planet" is very valid, unless you have something to share....
@@palimac Not too familiar with George Carlin are you?
@@xxXMusickXx I know who he is. But what was valid then is not so now. The ideals and thoughts then are 4 decades old and for the most part invalid. It was also the time that nuclear was banned on principle rather than actual facts.
I like how this is a serious issue and the music is so upbeat and cheery.
This is a 4 year old video. Battery installations in 2023 were large enough they are listed as a new power source now. It dwarfs the batteries installed in 2020.
Hello, for transparency; I have 6 years of working as a wind technician and 1 year working in an operation center overseeing wind and solar.Other than working experience I am also PJM and NERC certified. I'm here to clear a little bit of this up.
1. Bird strikes: Yes, there are avian strikes that happen on occasions however these are non endangered species. Every single wind site that has endangered species employs avian monitors that are across the site monitoring any avian presence and curtail entire zones of turbines to prevent any strikes from happening. These monitors also team up with automatic curtailment devices that track all avian activity and curtail the towers if it senses any avian activity. These devices are so sensitive they will occasionally curtail for planes by accident.
2. Yes, it is an intermittent resource that does not produce at maximum capacity 100% of the time, using the phrasing "optimally less than 30% of the time" is misleading and I feel you're doing that on purpose. Don't do that, I hope you're better than that. Most resources run around 70% capacity for the majority of the time and that is for wind. Solar produces very optimally during the day and very very rarely fall below 99.5% availability. In regards to the less than 10% claim you made, yes that happens however it doesn't happen anymore, you're referring to two different things here, the first is very old farms that were built with bad planning, and there are very few that meet this standard you've stated here. The second is those very few *very* rich people who want to build these farms as tax breaks, again a very rare circumstance but it happens.
3. I'm not against nuclear and I will touch on this more later however, just as you stated, those massive turbines have a tremendous mass, and once that inertial energy has been lost it takes a long time to restart, and in an event where a tie-line has been opened on the grid, restoring that power may take hours or in worse case scenarios days. Once a nuclear turbine has lost all inertia and power, it takes 48 hours of power from outside sources to restore the unit to an operating status.
4. The land usage that you're referring to sounds disastrous and overwhelming because that is how you are phrasing it. Yes, completely clearing the land of everything would be terrible however that is not what happens. What happens is farms are usually built on landowners property that maintain cattle and grow crops such as wheat, corn, cotton etc. These farmers are also paid by the wind turbine owners for the usage of land for loss of crop space plus a premium for simply allowing the turbines to be there(which is actually a very healthy amount) The pad of the turbine is typically only 25 foot in diameter. You say its inefficient because of the erroneous numbers you used. The actual space used by the turbines is a lot less than you're portraying it. The farm I worked at had 54 turbines with 25 foot padmounts. That is only 27,000 sq ft of land (roughly, I would be more than happy for a correction) for a 130 MW site. That would be 130,000,000 watts of energy per 2508 sq meters. (again, I'm no mathematician, I welcome corrections to my math) Assuming my numbers are correct until I can get someone better at math to correct me, the energy production vs area taken changes a little doesn't it?
5. Whats this the asterix at the end of the wind turbine death count? OSHA is all over every single injury in all working fields, you can't just push a death under the rug, these numbers are very accurate. I fully agree on nuclear however, it has caught a bad wrap from the major meltdowns. However your argument of how nuclear gets rid of nuclear bombs is a little off the wall, the bombs already made are a very finite resource to power theses plants.
Finally, it should go without saying that a push to environmentally friendly methods to sustain the energy grid should always be a goal and misrepresenting one of the best methods we have for this is not the way to go about it.
*TLDR VERSION*
Wind is heavily misrepresented in this video however I'm not saying nuclear is an enemy. The most CO2 efficient and reuse-able methods should be used to sustain the grid i.e. wind and nuclear, followed by hydro and solar and lastly coal.

Nuclear Energy: **Is safe**
Every politician: “I’m going to pretend like I didn’t see that”
Nuclear energy has the power to save lives and our planet alike
Honestly, nuclear is something we should have kept going with, every new technology is going to have some initial downsides.
Is not a bad option, however, the nuclear waste and dangers of uranium are still very high. It would be more safe if Thorium would be used for this; sadly, the technology required for this hasn’t been properly developed yet and it’s extremely expensive....
Pablo Rodríguez We are at the point we can repurpose over 90% of the waste produced for further energy production. With the recent (as of three years ago if you can call it recent) radiotropic mushroom of chernobyl which use radiosynthesis, they are able to feed off the waste and drastically reduce the radioactivity of the waste.

The US averages 38% coal burning for electricity. Yes your Tesla runs on coal.
Hippies dont care about that, as long as they look virtuous
Eh misleading at best, key word here is 'average' and 'US'. Whatever your EV runs on will end up depending on your local/regional resources, not national... so yes, there's several places around the US where EVs do NOT run on coal. It's also possible to run 100% on solar if you have solar panels and battery storage. Also, unlike engines, EV don't keep polluting from their tailpipes, the higher carbon footprint of making an EV is offset on average in 1-2 years in the US; a gas car will well exceed that carbon footprint through the rest of its lifetime of use.
Electric cars are amazing but we aren't ready for them! It's still a toxic and destructive process to produce them. They are the future but they're ahead of their time.
@@johnsuarez1404 they're still considerably less toxic than gas cars, simply do your own research and google 'are evs worse than gas engines' and learn the truth yourself. Data doesn't lie, on average the carbon cost of making an EV is offset by 1-2 years of use depending of where you live

@@stevenkamala7238 same profile pic
You don't store excess energy in batteries. This is stupid idea. You build elevated lakes and pump water up to them, and release that water to run turbines when needed. You can do other things too.
We did not all fall for it, but there will be many who pretend they didn't.
Where I live, 100% of our energy is hydro electric. Zero "carbon". Yet our gov decided to install a bunch of windmills, at huge cost in terms of money and carbon emissions. Wtf.
Somebody got paid.
As soon as they turned 3, I had my kids on bicycles connected to a home generator and a battery pack. They are growing up strong and healthy and we're off the grid. Can't wait for the new baby to turn 3 as we're planning to move up to a bigger TV. Thank you for the wise advice.
That is so wholesome to read.
@Philippe Fossier - Feed them beans and rice and all the meat is yours!
Don't feed them too much to reduce the carbon footprint. Agriculture is one of the main carbon emission.
Don't forget to rope in the neighborhood kids at Birthdays and Christmas. Dogs can also be useful in a treadmill plus you can use the coat "afterwards". Remember the baby waste can be used to generate methane and reused in the gas stove.
Omg I first read this as though your kids were on e-bikes and were charging off of the house. That certainly made this confusing lol!
12:15 - Using decommed nuclear weapons fuel as fuel for electricity is almost literally the nations "beating their swords into plowshares".
Thank you soo much for posting that! God bless you, brother!
Beautiful
Preach
A technology that is five years away from commercial scale... and always will be. Fusion reactors have been only a few years away since I was in Highschool thirty years ago. The same is happening with all of the other alternative nuclear technologies that the nuclear industry has been pushing for the last couple of decades. The question of how to replace fossil fuels with nuclear without starting a new nuclear arms race hasn't been answered. That can only happen when every nation can trust every other nation not to try to build a nuclear arms industry in secret. Nuclear weapons are only decommissioned because they are no longer fully functional and need to be replaced. So, the number only decreases when there are better, more powerful ones to make up the difference. There are still enough to end human life several times over. The fossil fuel industry has been pushing for nuclear power as a wedge issue to undermine the renewable energy industry for a while. Maybe there is a future for nuclear power many decades from now, but for the moment it is little more than a distraction from solving real world problems with real world solutions.
I'll gain 5 life then.....
I like how he has to specify that toxic is bad to humans like there is a healthy toxic
Wind Turbines use the same strategy to reduce CO2 as Genghis Khan. Though instead of the victum being humans, wind focuses on the kulling of birds.
A 2012 study found that wind projects kill 0.269 birds per gigawatt-hour of electricity produced, compared to 5.18 birds killed per gigawatt-hour of electricity from fossil fuel projects. this is from MIT climate portal. do not believe this crap do your own research. I could not watch the rest of the video but you can expect more of the same.
Not a lot of people will get that reference - I did because I watched his video yesterday - great stuff.
Wind turbines kill fewer birds than guns kill people. Just saying.
As one of the many supervillains that reside in Gotham City, I am interested in knowing more about this exciting new bat-killing technology.
Underrated comment
big LOL!
Fukushima killed a lot of bats. And radioactive waste from the nuclear power plants, if properly dumped into the caves, can kill billions of bats. So, if you wanna kill living creatures, nuclear is the way to go.
Where abouts in Gotham ?
Yes
In Germany, about 4000 birds were killed from 2002 to 2019 due to wind tuebines.
but about 18mil every year due to glass.
You hipocrate. What about all the chickens and turkeys that killed for food. How many is that? They are birds too!
@@KindnessandPeace And what has that to do with Renewable Energy and wind turbines ?
@@finnschutte3769 I think its a joke he literally has a recipe for turkey uploaded on his channel.
So we should also bring back beautiful stone architecture and do away with glass rectangle monstrosities.
According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, collisions with turbines kill between 140,000 and 500,000 birds annually. Other energy sources, such as coal, oil and power lines, contribute to millions of bird deaths. However, cats remain the biggest threat to birds, killing an estimated 1.3 to 4 billion birds each year.

wind turbines also take 50 gallons of oil to stay lubricated and are subject to leaking. they also have a brake similar to automotive brakes and when the brakes stops working(overheating or loss of friction material) they usually catch fire
They are no more subject to leaking than any other turbine or combustion motor. If any catch on fire (usually? really?) in is due to maintenance neglect.

The stigma against using Nuclear energy is ridiculous tbh. Theres hundreds of nuclear warheads just sitting in the basments of powerful countries which could potentially be dismantled and used in energy production instead..
You know what happens when one of these blows up? It happens and it's not fun at all...
Just think about Chernobyl or Fukushima
You should look into Thorium reactors, those melt themselves shut when a meltdown occurs, and, if I remember correctly, they can function with lower grade nuclear fuel that the Fukushima and Chernobyl types cannot use. Not to mention that Fukushima could have been prevented with a bigger wave wall (which they advocated for, and one of those saved another plant in the path of the same tsunami), and the Chernobyl type had so many design flaws that it makes your grandmother's first knit sweater look like a masterpiece.

@@TheZampa and both had a avoidable reason why they melt down.
I have been a wind turbine tech for 20 years and yes they have draw backs.
But what gets me is the number of birds they claim are killed by them.
First off the rotors only turn at between 13 to 20 RPM on most large turbines its not hard for a bird to avoid.
And that any bird found dead normally with in a 2 mile area is blamed on the turbine so studies have went as far as 5 miles
Plus cat's and cars kill many times more birds than turbines.
And of a large number of the dead birds found around turbines that have been autopsied as many as 30% show poison in them.
But the media and special interests groups often don't tell the complete truth and they like to embellish the partial truth.
But wind turbines do have many downsides.
I just wanted to get more of the truth about the bird numbers out.
The media and special interest groups often don't tell the truth

Yep mainstream media has its ways of not doing its complete research before releasing “information” to the public. Since you work in the wind energy sector, could you shed some light on the downsides or shortcomings of turbines?

1:52 Windturbine blades are made of glass fiber, not aluminium.
2:15 Most estimates are that windturbines do not kill very many birds, compared with the estimated 6.8 million fatalities from collisions with cell and radio towers and the 1.4 billion to 3.7 billion deaths from cats in the US.
eu.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/09/15/wind-turbines-kill-fewer-birds-than-cell-towers-cats/15683843/
4:50 We're currently developing alternative storage options for renewables. A 100 MWh volcanic stones battery is these days being build in Germany as a large scale pilot project, after a smaller pilot project was successful in Denmark.
www.siemensgamesa.com/en-int/explore/innovations/energy-storage-on-the-rise
6:22 It's extreme unlikely that entire windfarms will shutdown without notice and there are backup systems on the grid like gasturbines, that will kick in in case of a failure.
7:12 Vegetation and wildlife can live in harmony with renewables. In Denmark we have sheep walking around our solar farms, so we don't have to cut the grass.
www.renewableenergyworld.com/articles/2019/06/is-vegetation-management-a-problem-for-your-solar-farm-just-add-sheep.html
7:55 Worth mentioning that the main reason windfarms are build offshore is so we don't have to look at them, they are less CO2 efficient and cost more compared to onshore.
9:42 Deaths from nuclear could be a lot higher depending on if you include only direct death and what statistics you use.
www.bbc.com/future/story/20190725-will-we-ever-know-chernobyls-true-death-toll

www.siemensgamesa.com/en-int/-/media/siemensgamesa/downloads/en/sustainability/environment/siemens-gamesa-environmental-product-declaration-epd-sg-8-0-167.pdf
13:09 Energy production makes up only a fraction of the total CO2 emissions from developed countries. I would recommend using the grids CO2 emission / kWh figures instead. Recommend www.electricitymap.org
13:23 Those numbers must included taxes, because they are way to high. You need to look at the average electricity spot price to compare.

Thorium is among several elements with similar esoteric origins, this reflective of the underlying yet hidden covenant between extreme occultism and high science among the elites who own that as one among many assets in their portfolios. Arsenic is the basis of the arsenal and thus the cannon of the Holly Roman Church, this with its similarly referenced number of "The Perfected Man" at 33. Iodine, strangely enough, would appear to connote "The Eye of Odin" . And Carbon per its 6 nuetrons, electrons and protons denotes the 666 of the Devil himself, a fact highly exploited by way of our own popular and scientific nomenclature, all in plain view. As in my own family, it's "Car-Gill" as founded by "The Will-that-I-Am" of William the Conqueror as the God-King of grain and flour, or rather "Flower Power" as "Fowler Power" as a clever way of celebrating the one and only, true founding father of all that Hitler and Himmler ever hoped realized in their own visions of a global "Reich"--Heinrich the Fowler. We all worship the Owl that is Fowl, all of us sadomasochistic little perverts running around with our heads full of stupid false yammer. and that's the way we like it. by design. Ancients Gods in modern days, hide their status with fig leaves of denial. The Nile. Bad joke. Stinging zinger. Wins the debate, every time. Today's standards of "reasoning" akin to the proclivities of the dictator's dick, there's barely any of us left willing and able to talk sense about anything in any context at all. A miracle then occurs in the rare instances when our words actually create outcomes with respect to understandings. Techno-occultism. It's not just about the Batman, 007 and Dr. W.H.O., or Sherlock. Yet when those characters are understood and combined into one, the broader argument deriving from the observation of the elements makes too much sense. hauntingly so.
TL:DR Go nuclear, deconstruct coal power plants, use green energy as a supplementary power source.
Why build 1GW of nuclear when you can build ~10GW of wind or solar for the same cost?
@Bick Barl What is this 'hard upper cap' on wind?
@@Chris-ie9os Because land use is an issue. Also, because like my recent trip to a local island, we had +30C/100% Humidity, but no wind and it was overcast for days. So A/C and other power needs had to be met by something other than renewables. The other issue frequently overlooked, is solar power generation is done by string inverters, as a cloud moves across the sky, if only one panel is obstructed it will cause that string to fail until the light is restored. So on a mixed sun and cloud day, the grid can constantly be up and down. It's unfortunate, and maybe if we ever figure out IR panels this will be less of an issue.

If we didn't try to own our energy, every country could build renewable energy farms and trade energy freely as supply and demand fluctuate around the globe.
The wind may only blow 10% of the time in one location, but the wind is blowing somewhere 100% of the time.
Bro done gas lighting green energy 💀
There is no such thing as a free lunch. ALL types of energy production have a downside or negative effect.
I have been building power plants since 1979. Nuclear, biomass, coal, oil, natural gas and hydroelectric. Shall I list off the negative effect of each? Humanity needs a mix of all types of energy production to continue civilization at near present levels. I find your argument against solar and wind disingenuous. We will have to build a mix of all types to meet our future needs.
Being forced to switch all at once to one type or the other, is not feasible, I don't know why that's so hard for people to understand. I agree with you, it's just like those who think everyone should be forced to drive electric cars. It would be disastrous. Just like most things in life, moderation is usually key.
Pantheragem I disagree on your opinion because adaptability is what separates the elite from the rest
Fearing change is the only setback technology has
as for this video I believe Solar and Nuclear fusion is the way to go
His main points for named negatives of solar energy being storage is a battery issue (convert solar to hydrogen fuel)
other then that he claims solar cause waste bit again another tech issue (he said because of cheap panels)
The argument is reduce CO2 emission but he didn't mention the statistics at all about CO2 emission between each energy source
Very biased video
@Jorge Carranza He did mention the CO2 emissions from production and very clearly stated that it's offset within months for wind, and a simple google search reveals that solar offsets it's CO2 production within a year or two. The video isn't biased for omitting a single detail.
Thank you Brian.
We don't nee any fossil fuels. Besides, they'll fun out anyway.
Solar energy is useful for small remote community where the cost of delivering the energy to them is excessive (cable, transformers, etc.) .
a fine example of a case in which renewable is most reliable
Transformers are more than meets the eye.
It is generally useful anywhere there is unused cheap space and enough sun. Its a game of time as the solar still pays itself back eventually.
As this may be true his point still rings that it's only good if it's done right not the cheap way which is the way it's getting done right now because of its popularity
also in countrys with sunny days and enought exess land to place them. Like most of Africa, North America and Parts of Asia
Ballshart! I'm getting my electric from a local hydroelectric plant. It has just about zero environmental impact.
I live full time in my solar powered RV. I spend winters in the Arizona desert doing astrophotography and summers in Quebec. I rarely need to run a generator. I have a microwave, coffee maker, toaster, deep fryer, a 32 inch computer monitor and a big 120 volt home refrigerator with ice maker. I easily go three weeks without resupplying food and water. I have a compost toilet and a 100 gallon fresh water farm tank in the bed of the Ram.
I have been retired and living off grid of 7 years. What is the scam that I fell for? My entire lifestyle would not be possible without my solar energy setup of 2050 watts of solar panels and 900 amp hours of LiFePO4 batteries.
Solar panels are great for individual households. I think what this video is talking about it large scale country wide power where renewables can't currently keep up in comparison to other sources like nuclear.
@@sajiloto Renewable energy accounted for 57% of Germany's electricity production in 2023, and they are not a particularly sunny country. I spend the winters in southern Arizona and California, and they sure have a lot of acres of solar panels. Solar only accounts for about 10% of Arizona's electricity production, though that could greatly increase by simply installing more solar panels. There is certainly no shortage of sun most days.
There's a difference between installing solar privately and building an entire solar farm to cover energy for all.
For one, you are taking up the costs personally and will only see your investment pay off in about 10-15 years.
Second, the government can't afford this investment on a mass scale due to the inefficiency. Also, a single household uses far less energy than say a construction company or a hospital or a factory. So it will take far more solar plants which take up significant space, destroying the habitats they're placed on and those within a substantial range due to the heat generated.
Then there's the costs of replacing the batteries and panels which on a scale like this would decrease their longevity, meaning replacement and maintenance will be often. Can't forget tht these are electronics afterall and tht intense heat can cause damage which is a problem because more panels = more heat = more dmg = more maintenance and replacements.
Then there's the problem with households all investing in solar as this increases the local temperature threatening the surrounding wildlife.
Then there's the misconception that countries like Germany who have green energy of 54% have shoen tht it can be done when the reality is that the energy grid is a costly mess rn
@@zerog1037 Solar panels generally put out about 90% of their original output after 25 years. They have no moving parts, and rarely require any kind of maintainance. It is hard for me to think of anything more reliable in the long term than a solar panel. Your talk of them requiring maintainance or replacement often is simply not true.
So if people use solar panels, it increases the local temperature, threatening local wildlife? Can you elablorate on that? I have never heard of such a thing before.
The main environmental cost of solar panel farms is they take up space. Fortunately that is often in empty desert in places like Arizona and California, where that intense sun is falling on hard packed and baked ground. Little is growing or living there compared to areas with more rain. While all forms of power have some environmental cost, solar seems to have the least. The roof or a house or busines is basically wasted space that can often be fitted with solar panels without having any footprint or wasting any land. Ask Walmart, who increasingly is putting solar panels on the roof of their huge stores.
As I sit out in the desert in my solar powered RV, my solar panels take up slightly more space than the roof of the small RV. I have 3 ground panels that I lay out as well as what is on the roof. Yet by intercepting the sunlight energy that would have just been wasted, as well as making the RV roof hotter, I can generate all the electricty that I need to run all the appliances and conveniences I want. No noise of a generator. No smoke, no gas or maintainance on a generator. No buying a new generator every year or two. No pollution. And no, contrary to what you seem to think, using solar panels to power my RV does not make the area hotter.
I'm not sure what your point was about Germany. You stopped writing in mid sentence and didn't bother to finish your thought.
@@headdown1 The problem here is that you are thinking from a private individual investment in residential usage.
For one, wht do you think solar panels do? They draw power from the sun right? Wht else does sunlight do? Provides heat right? Put 2 and 2 together and you get a panel drawing in light and heat. On a large scale this obviously increases the temperature in a localized region.
Now, thts actually a misconception. The areas picked up often are shrublike biomes with small animals and insects commonly associated with deserts.
This life is flushed out in a large radius due to the heat.
The maintenance, repairs and replacements of solar panels and batteries used in mass production is common in the industry, raising electricity prices. A solar panel for private use can last up to 25 years, it's different for a solar farm.
And again I brought up germsny because you brought up germany as this ideal country for green energy when the reality is tht germany is struggling with energy since it went green.
I guess it's time to take down those darn panels from roof and build a nuclear reactor in basement.
This, but unironically

Something funny is that my city has some wind turbines. Situated at the mouth of a canyon, a ton of wind often blows through. Great, right? Well, not really. For whatever reason, at times with a massive amount wind they just aren't spinning.

In my county in the US, there’s a nuclear power plant. It’s one of many owned across many states. It’s the largest employer in the county and you can tell who works for them. Their pay is excellent and they give back to the community. They also open about 80% of their 30K acres to the public for hunting, fishing, camping and recreation.
Why on Earth do they need 30k acres? Is that the exclusion zone?

That's only 47 square miles so not as large as it sounds (almost 7 x 7 miles if was square). By comparison, most US cities are much larger, and the department of energy owns far less than department of defense, agriculture, and others.

With the addition of one more battery into my system, my family and I will be power independent for the first time in over 5 years. With 600 watts of solar and 400 watts of wind power, we can sustain our own everyday power needs solely from renewable energy.
BUT.... we live in a 31-foot Class A motorhome. To run a traditional American home off of renewable energy would require the installation of A LOT of solar power, assuming you live in an area with good sunlight. For the average home in a city, it's impractical in the extreme.
1) as mentioned in the video, modern renewable energy production units as solar panels or wind turbines can create synthethic inertia due to batteries or capacitors, they can easily be made mandatory by law
2) the power usage in industrialized countries borders on the equivalent of using your stove to heat your flat while having all windows open at -10°C outside, we have to reduce power usage in total, too
3) a finer, more flexible power grid can aid in saving power as each unit can contain batteries that take up excess power and can also be switched off if it's not needed instantaneously - in contrast to the power plants that HAVE to keep going to keep up their inertia
4) solar panels can be placed on the roofs of nearly all buildings, an area that is usually occupied by neither humans nor wild animals. Also solar parks can have raised panels that allow for wildlife to exist below and enjoy the shade the panels provide (something that's not uninteresting in times of climate change). Studies in Germany also showed that you can use panels above rows of crops like grapes or hops without impacting the plants' efficiency

It is possible that we will fix all these problems, but not in the next 10 years, and india alone certainly won't!
@@seb_5969 , my understanding is that Thorium based breeder reactors are indeed quite complex but it should be possible to have working MSR (Molten Salt Reactors) in 5-10 years. In those reactors should be possible to burn with high efficiency the Uranium end Plutonium considered waste by the traditional PWR (Pressure Water Reactors) that use solid fuel. Once we have MSR the following step would be to build Torium based breeder reactors.
Thorium reactors are just the latest scam of an industry that failed to deliver on its promises for decades. Besides a lot of technical problems they are simply too expensive. Contrary to the bullshit presented in this video renewables are unbeatable cheap.

6:00 - 6:26 everything in this section is completely wrong. Rotational inertia is only useful for frequency regulation during very brief load excursions. It is not a source of generated power. (They actually tried to use it as such at Chernobyl, and that [plus incompetence] is what led to the accident). Even with the immense mass of a turbine rotor, it will still begin spinning down immediately when input power is lost. It only has to slow down by 0.9% before any power generated would be useless due to under frequency. Also they don't store as much rotational inertia as you would think. Although their mass is very heavy, most of it is in the center shaft. The portion with the best second moment of inertia (the turbine blades) is fairly light. The generator breaker will trip automatically as soon as the frequency goes under 59.3-59.5Hz, at which point the generator is no longer connected to the grid anyway and the remaining spin down of the rotor is useless. By the way all this happens in a fraction of a second, not minutes. We use cycles as a time unit. 60 cycles = 1 second. Rotor will be under frequency in 15-20 cycles, and it will take another 5-8 cycles for the generator breaker to trip. So in half a second, its all over.
