This is wrong on so many levels. Every statement in this video is seriously flawed. More energy means more environmental damage. And you wrote a book?

This video is awsom! The clarity with which the problems and solutions are discussed is amazing! Thank you so much!

Why do we need to be “Humancentric”? Why are we not talking about “Ecocentric”? Our discussions need to be about ecosystems - of which humans are a ‘part’. Flora & Fauna must be elevated to be equal. The current thinking that humans are ‘at the top’ or ‘at the centre’ is a major problem& must change.

Where do the benefits of this increased productivity go? The wealth transfer from the productive economy to the extractive economy explodes. "the way that finance grows is by extracting wealth from the rest of us. More and more of GDP is being siphoned off by finance. In 1970, finance took 13 percent of GDP. Today, it’s taking 33 percent. Fully one-third of all the income sloshing around is being vacuumed up by financial firms and their clients. So, when it seems like GDP is growing, it’s not reaching the rest of us. Much of finance is not creating wealth but skimming off wealth."

I’d love Rethink X’s opinion on Verses AI. If its platform keeps beating LLMs handily then it may prove to be the catalyst/black swan that leads to a great stranding of data centers.

We need a lot of hope and prayers and keeping our fingers crossed for this to happen.

11:37 completely agree with that

10:10 thorium, uranium-235, uranium-234 can all replace uranium-238

7:45 i cant lie that next problem is true

7:30 THATS WHY THEY HAVE THOSE UNBELEIVABLE MASSIVE COLLANT TOWERS THAT YOU SEE IN ALMOST EVERY SINGLE NUCLEAR FACILITY

6:11 TF YOU MEAN WATER?? IT COMES DOWN IN RAIN YOU ACTUAL SILLY HEAD

cost? thats why you think no more should be produced? FROM COST??? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH ENERGY 1 OF THESE CAN PRODUCE????? WELL MORE THAN ENOUGH TO MAKE THAT BACK, LIKE, IT PRODUCES MORE THAN 20,000% MORE THAN COAL PLANTS, WHICH COST MUCH LESS BUT THEY PRODUCE LESS AND POLLUTE and solar and winds are not sustainable due to clouds and wind changes

Very informative video. Can you please update it with 2024 figures? Went to the Wikipedia LCOE page to get an updated graph.

People are so gullible that they aren't aware that this to brainwash them and control them! MASS FORMATION as explained by Gustave Le Bon decades ago. EVIL can never win!

And land use isn't a factor right? Let's see how solar and wind perform in terms of cost when you factor in land-use. And battery storage is Steiner's offensive. It's an insane hail-Mary with no chance of being anything except a niche solution un a few places. The amount of mining necessary for all that lithium and god knows what other metals for all those batteries is going to be an ecological apocalypse in its own right, along with drastically increasing production costs. Nuclear has been getting more expensive because people are pathologically terrified of it, resulting in obscene over-regulation. It had jack-shit to do with safety, and everything to do with coal-funded anti-nuclear paranoia. Count in land use and the disastrous need for massively ecocidal and expensive mining and then compare renewables to nuclear. And then liberate nuclear from the sickening over-regulation making it uncompetitive.

The earth, the prison was once like venus, therefore you couldn't be hueless otherwise skin melanoma would be a disaster

Micro thorium reactors ,look it Up Totally safe for any house 🏡

Good point re scale. The problem with this thinking is that if humans made the problem, we certainly can unmake the problem. The scale can’t be too big to fix. It is just too big to fix profitably. Alas even that is a bit simpleminded. The issue here is entropy. All processes tend toward entropy. If you are creating entropy, then the process is cheap - e.g. burn some stuff and discharge a lot of smoke into the atmosphere has huge entropic (in addition to enthalpic) benefits and is why we use it for energy production for so long. The best ones even produce gasses so there is no mess on the ground to clean up. All the mess goes into the air. If we try to unwind this process to stuff the gasses back in a bottle (e.g. “clean coal” or worse CO2 extraction from the air) then we need to put energy back in to unwind all that entropy. The problem here is that according to physical law, if we want to undo some entropy here, then we have to create even *more* entropy somewhere else, because all spontaneous processes go towards greater entropy. So, cleaning up the mess just means we make more mess elsewhere of some kind. It might just be the mess is heat - molecules vibrating that weren’t before rather than trash on the ground. Unfortunately, as we now know even heat is a problem. As an aside, we will eventually hit a global warming 2.0 where the size of the economy has gotten so large that the energy simply spent by it, even if 100% green, will heat up the earth. (All useful energy eventually devolves to heat) in this case, certain things like nuclear and geothermal will be on the bad list, and we can only sue solar, wind and hydro because that energy came from the sun and would have warmed us anyway. So, that is where the concept for degrowth ultimately comes from. However, that is a long time away. Right now the issue is we are using some really stupid and destructive technologies, when there are cheaper, cleaner and better ones available, and people really are dead set on using the destructive technologies to exhaustion to get a better ROI on them, rather than jettison them early because they really aren’t doing us any favors. It’s the sunk cost fallacy combined with their ability to externalize a lot of costs onto other people that make this possible. It needs to be stopped, even though it will lead to screaming. The best way to do this is less the sunk cost fallacy play out. That one is politically unwinnable. You just need to get ahead of it and make sure no more money goes to bad tech. This means no more fossil fuel plants and no more new fossil fuel vehicles. Until we manage to turn off the spigot - and a ban is what is required - we never get where we need to be.

I hate degrowtherism, buy you are attacking a strawman. It was never merely about "less" it is about transitioning to non-fossil energy and prioritizing basic human survival needs over everything else. You compensate people for having less stuff by giving them more free time. Education, sports art and culture and healthcare absolutely are seen as necessities by degrowthers.

You look like an AI generated speaker.

We must elect leaders who understand the coming future. Who for example support the oil producers with war, instead of reduce military spending in favor of roof top solar. Kevin Clark ....contemplating running for US senate District 9 NC

Great video. Good to find you!

we must all climbe down from the trees

Nuclear would be good for tanker ships actually.

I had Climate Anxiety for over a decade and it was made worse by Channels like Our Changing Climate who preach for Degrowth and the abolishment of Capitalism. But after these past few years, I realized how reckless all the climate alarmists were. The way I see it, the market is going to adopt clean energy automatically and no one needs to do anything drastic to make it happen.

Instead of using less bad, just replace the bad with good.

Dothan AL electric charges a demand charge, which can be $800/month, the Electric coops, Alabama power charge homeowners about $100/moth if the home owner puts solar on their own house. We have the best politicians money can buy!

You make a lot of claims. You presume that humans will decide to use the robots for useful work for the environment. There is absolutely no reason to think this. The drones we now develop are used for war and making images of our sportive achievements. Nobody uses the drones to do anything useful for the environment, yeh some companies promised to used them to seed forests. Which of course was just a scam. I agree that robots will be disruptive and that you can do beautiful things with them. However we can also use them for war, sick hobbies or even sex. Robotic companies, looking for a quick return on investment and working in a competitive market will first go for what people usually do with new stuff. People will put an armed robot at their front door, to replace the dog. Look at the airplanes in world war one, and you will have your answer. The main challenge for robots will be to make them do something useful, regulation, again to done by lawmakers who studied history, economics or other gamma studies, having no clue on how the tech works. We will get a cookie law to regulate the robots. And as last resort, people will make 'robot free' zones.

James Tour’s flash graphene process is a great way to turn trash (including plastic) into a valuable material. I implore Rethink X to look into his research.

James Tour’s land restoration process is worth looking into.

Have you looked into James Tour’s flash graphene process in relation to environmental impact? He can turn any plastic into graphene and the only byproduct is Hydrogen. I’m not arguing for a Hydrogen future, but if it can be produced at negative costs it makes sense not to waste it.

Tony Seba and ReThinkX really need much more exposure. Goodness knows how long Tony has been correctly predicting the future

Amazing video

I hate labels, but this is technological optimism. I believe in disruption (I know, it does not require by belief, like gravity), and I desperately want environmental and ecological solutions that put us back in nature's good graces, and make us stewards, not conquerors. So I think rather than just blindly believe in disruptive forces at play, we need to carefully watch (and guide) the responses of the industries that are refusing to take this bitter pill, like fossil fuel, and help them along to their proper place -- six feet under, or at least out of the big picture and relegated to fueling antique cars. That said, I'd rather this be like a retirement party. Hey fossil fuels: you've been a great team player! You've allowed us to advance to amazing heights. Thanks so much. But you're old now, and past your prime and use. Here's your framed award. Here's your gold watch. See you on the golf course, but not back here, OK? We've found your replacement, she's working out just fine.

3 years late to the party here but in late 2024 nuclear power is coming back into vogue. Data centers that spy on us use extraordinary amounts of electricity.

The power companies are fighting back. Under certain circumstances grid tied homeowners in Crapafornia are being charged money for the power they EXPORT back to the grid.

Why is it that people only care about the poorest and most vulnerable in times of crisis but not in prosperity? The "crisis" that COVID spurred wasn't a glimpse of how less really does make a difference?

Not much detail here, it seems more like techno optimism. I certainly agree that robots can help with environmental repair and recycling, but the crisis point is now, before Earth's systems are too disrupted!

on the contrary we will need a lot of nuclear power in order to fight climate change. This video is full of nonsense and mumbo jumbo about batteries. It is simply not realistic. Dream on.

At 6 minutes...it is stupid ... I am french..no more french water😂.... We have atlantic ocean, méditerranéen sea, the channel, north sea .... And in the USA, yes, most of the reactors are on the coast ..but where is the population ?...on the coast too ..

I don't want any fermented "food" from the same companies who are producing the toxic waste that passes for food today. And don't forget how governments and big pharma back this crap... I don't have any faith in the future of food if the same players are involved
