I'll stick to gas. Can't cook on electric when the power goes out.

Absolutely trash system. Only works if there is sunlight not to mention legionnaires bacteria arising from the cold semi lukewarm water. Better burning good old fossil fuels

Typical point out fossil fuel billionaires but not billionaires trying to force you into EVs or other useless green alternatives that will not effect what has been taking place on earth since it was formed. CHANGE!

7:14 "They're incredibly cheap... less than 10 as much as it cost in the United States"

Since you used Professor Richard Lindzen's voice on this video - without attribution - and then claimed that what he said was a "lie"- how about playing all of the Prager Videos from Professor Lindzen. . Richard Lindzen is an Atmospheric Physicist and a Professor at MIT for 30 years. You pick one of your 97 percent and let that person compare notes with Professor Lindzen. I'll concede to the winner of that debate. We'll let GROK referee that one.

We had a solar hot water heater in Hawaii but that was my first experience with it. Now trying to source a heat pump water heater in Mainland US, it has been challenging.

Wow! I thought your presentation was great and super interesting subject. Like others have mentioned, so cool to see a smaller news channel producing such high quality content.

Problem is a landlord special induction means you don't get to eat.... and everyone lives in landlord run places now. Anyway yeah the best mix is to use electric, but have a gas burner and cannister on hand for some meals where that is better (wok stir fry, seasoning your cast iron) or for emergencies.

Ooh a little random Scotland at the end nice. Oh by the way, rents rose during that COP and never dropped again, so by now it's taken about 40 million from Glasgow's poorest, thanks a lot xD

Cars were bigger in the 60s and 70s

oh you man made climate change idiots who can only argue about personalities and possible payoffs when the climate evidence is clear. 100 million years ago the co2 level was 8000 ppm. today it is about 400 ppm. are you going to argue that the earth thermostat should have been dialed to 400 ppm way back a 100 million years ago? what is your reasoning? back then the global temperature was 70 degrees fahrenheit. are you going to argue it was too hot to sustain life and should be set to todays temperature 55 degrees F?

Unless you’re at the site, there is really no reason to show your face.

Delusions of virtue afflicts everyone

I have learned over the years that stoves have a exhaust fan and a hood vent that vents by mechanical force to remove heat and exhaust gas and out the same time removing cooking particles like oils and cooking gases.

When I saw the title, I thought you were referring to America as a continent, not as a country called United States of America. Stupid american terminology. (you see the joke here?) But seriously, I thought that this was about south and central america too. People should change that terminology.

Left liberal citys are the best to live in

Comparing the European automotive market directly with the U.S. can be challenging, as the two markets are shaped by very different factors. Europe’s preference for smaller cars is heavily influenced by taxes and regulations that favor compact vehicles. In contrast, markets like Southeast Asia, Africa, and Australia tend to favor larger vehicles, such as SUVs and pickups, which dominate their sales charts. Given these regional differences, I can’t help but feel that this comparison is somewhat biased, as it overlooks the unique economic and cultural factors shaping each market. Compare Thailand or Australia instead. Cars are smaller than the US, but not as extreme as in Europe, which again is not an average market at all when you factor in other continents.

They might have got paid, bit they're still right.

You pay for nat gas in therms. Therms is the BTU output or quality/purity of the refinement process. This tells me it's not very pure because purity varies.

But New York is so dirty, I mean there’s so much trash everywhere 😅

this is not about getting rid of cars, this is about getting rid of the dependence on cars.

Solar all the way. Humans are so dumb.

No doubt Trump and his MAGA cult will consider a solar water heater crusade a Chinese conspiracy to undermine US water heater companies while Rep. (R-Ga) M.T. Greene will claim Jews will blow them up with their space-based lasers. Perhaps you Americans can burn coal to heat your water heaters? That 30% of the American public will not detect my sarcasm is where America is at this time.

I am American and live in Brazil. Very few people and/or buildings use a water heater. We use a relatively inexpensive device that heats the water instantly right before it exits the faucet or shower head. One water pipe instead of two and no tank of water at high temperature 24/7. As an American, I now consider this much smarter and more efficient. This water-heating device is plastic, about US$15 and lasts for many years. If it fails replace the metal heating element costing a few bucks.

I installed solar water heating in 2008, and it more than paid for itself, but about a year ago, the 'solar' part started to fail, and the tank was getting old. The backup electrical unit was on a lot. Around the same time (a year ago), I installed a solar PV system (8 kW). I got quotes for replacement of the solar system, then learned about heat pump water heating. Did the math, and the heat pump was a no-brainer - powered by my solar PV during the day, and at night, it uses less than one-quarter of the electricity pf the electrical element. All in all, the heat pump is far cheaper to run, provided that solar PV is available during the day. The cost of the heat pump system was comparable to the replacement of the solar water system, and the running cost is far lower over a full day, thanks to the CoP of the heat pump.

What’s more efficient, solar water heater or a solar panel powering a hybrid water heater? My hybrid water heater for a family of 4 uses 1.5-1.8kw a day. If you powered only the hybrid water heater, you wouldn’t need a battery, simply get a temp valve on the water heater, set that to 120 but the actual unit to 140 or 150. This would allow you to use the water heater as a battery, storing excess hot water as you only need 120 degree at the tap. You still get the 30% credit from the whole system, it’s cheaper as you don’t need new piping going to the roof.

You left out one major part: the traffic reforms of 1990 and 1994. This is what caused Dutch roads to be what they are today. It shifted the responsibility from the regulators to the designers, essentially letting the designers to their thing.

I thought your video was not convincing. I appreciate your tone and what facts you did share, but then you tie the climate change issue with the issue of free speech. It is absolutely legal within the confines of free speech to lie! The amount of lies and miss information is monumental, in this video you single out one source on one topic and ask why these media companies allow it. But there’s a plethora of miss information on nearly every topic under the Sun. By adding the free speech point you make your video line up politically with one side of the political spectrum. I don’t know who funds you or anything about you. If you truly want to be seen as apolitical and just having a goal of correcting bad information than it could help if you consider this. Because of free speech you are able to put out your video. Why don’t you debate the people who you say are putting out incorrect info? I want to know if you’re right? I want you to confront the Prager videos and the organization with your points. I’m glad you put this out here.

I dont like this entire video. The Reason cars are to big. Is because of the stupid Fuel efficiency laws, get rid of them. The only reason cars are way to big is because of the CAFE footprint laws. Which are stupid. If they get rid of the Cafe law then we will get smaller trucks and cars again. The Cafe footprint laws say abigger vehicle does not have to have as good of fuel efficiency as smaller vehicles. That is the issue. Fuel efficiency to mass ratio. Nothing else. It's the bottom line. Money. Also Obama is who screwed that brought that stupid standard. He created the problem like he did with everything he touched.

Whats more efficient, Solar heater or panels to heat water?

CAFE standards made affordable small trucks effectively illegal.

A lot of homes will need to spend thousands on electrical panel upgrades.

The short answer is environmental regulations were written by zealots who hate cars and want to make them inefficient. See: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6usZKGnp614jq8

Perfect testing ground for hyper sonics. Debris classified

If it were truly less expensive to install, operate, & maintain then governments wouldn't have to subsidize it or mandate it. The free market would drive people to use it. Reagan was right. Carter was an idiot.

That's why I rely only to my common sense and the absolute truth..

What we do here in the Netherlands can be a good example for the USA and Canada. We have laws where companies can not just change things by having an influence on things like it happens in the USA. Car manufacturers like to lobby to keep car number 1 and even destroy public transport. If they also implement the laws that we have here, just that one, then you should see what is possible without outside influence. But well, there will of course be lawsuits and who wins then......

Don't wait but just close the streets for cars, they do that here in the Netherlands too. It's not difficult.

Fair enough, but is it not the same problem with those pushing climate change? Just saying!

So the government founds foreign oil companies to put in mega wind farms that are carbon positive. But when it comes to putting carbon negative low material carbon negative solar hot water. They want nothing to do with it. Sounds like not enough money for corporations is holding hit back.

the cutout is the real fact that there is no way you could make trucks get the same miles as car also, the car standards are to high driving mid-size cars and small pickup trucks off the market

All climate change models have been wrong so far. Go ahead, give people more climate propaganda and Hysteria. They's immune to it by now.

The Open sourced, Gravity driven, Continuous motion, Free Energy Power Multiplier Device: Power Multiplier Device, medium Stern Wheeler Power: Take the engine out of a sternwheeler boat (Steam Ship-Paddle Wheel Boat). Replace it with a transmission and a generator. Connect the paddle wheel's chain to the transmission. Anchor the vessel in the current of any river that can accommodate it and let the current turn the wheel and generate free energy. Below Ground River Generator Power: Along the length of a river dig a deep tunnel/trench that parallels the river. At the beginning of the trench there is a large open section excavated that houses a water wheel that has large tanks around it instead of the regular slats. The water wheel in the below ground open section is connected to a generator. The river water is channeled through a gate that allows it to run over the water wheel filling its tanks, turning the wheel, and generating energy. The base of the water wheel is level with the tunnel/trench so that the water from the tanks dumping their loads flows into the tunnel/trench. Down along the river there are water wheels at the surface that are turning by the river's current. Their axles extend over the tunnel/trench's location and are connected to a water pumping mechanism located in the tunnel/trench, pumping the water in the tunnel/trench back out into the river. These water wheels will continue down the river until there are enough of them to remove all the water in the tunnel/trench. Gravity brings in the water from the river, turns the wheel, produces the energy, moves the discharged water down the tunnel/trench, and pumps it back out to the river. Solar air conditioning. Build a 'hot box' on a roof. A hot box is a metal box 1 foot high, five feet wide, and ten feet long. Paint it flat black and affix it to the roof so that the long side is vertical. At the bottom of the box run a vent pipe/tube into the roof of the house's to the highest ceiling inside the house so that it vents into/out of that room. At the top of the box is a covered vent that exhausts the hot air the sun produced within the hot box. This venting draws air up the hot air and pulls in the air from the room that has the vent pipe/tube in its ceiling. The rooms in the rest of the house have vents above the doorways to allow the warm air in those rooms to be pulled into the vent as well. This cools the house using the sun and not an air conditioner running off the grid. Close all windows except the ones on the shade side of the house and you draw in the cooler air. The hot box can be replaced with a box that has a plexiglass window at the top, and has a thick metal grid material on its floor. All painted flat black to absorb the heat from the sun. The Grow-Live Tower, which is a cylindrical structure with a central support column, periphery support columns around the circumference, and suspension cables connecting the two to support the floor levels. This tower provides the food for the people that live in the lower 20 levels by growing it in the upper 60 levels. These Tower/generators, if embraced by the world, would end world hunger, homelessness, cut global disease by 85% due to improved living conditions, increase water conservation by 10,000%, end the poisoning of the world's water by petroleum and mono culture's 'one crop' farming, shrink mankind's footprint by 60%, and end global poverty by employing the World Zero/New Money economic system. Power Multiplier Devices would provide the energy for the tower by climbing up and down the outside of the periphery columns. Restoring Arctic Ice. The water temperature at the bottom of the sea is colder than at the top, so simply pump up the cold water at the edge of the ice flow to slow the warming/melting process. This can be done by hanging 30' diameter tubes, by floating vertically from the surface down close to the bottom. Each segment has floats to alleviate the weight. A solar powered pump at the top would need to just pump out 4' of water before the capillary effect would automatically begin bringing up the colder water to the surface. If 10,000 of these were placed close to the ice edge it would effectively lower the temperature of the water that is contacting the ice flow, slowing the melt during summer, increasing the ice build up in winter, and lowering the mean temperature of the region. Possible slowing the Greenland ice melt as well. One would do nothing, 10,000 would bring change. This could also be the key to cooling large sections of the entire ocean. Bringing up to the surface the colder water beneath to cool the surface, somehow. Thousands of ships are travelling the ocean at any time. If each had some sort of mechanism that pumps up some of the colder water, this could be cooling, cumulatively, hundreds of square miles of ocean everyday/hour. This might not help a lot, but it would help some. What do we have to lose?

I am going to connect the dots for you.... Voting Democrat. Insane CAFE standards promoted by unelected Democrats. Unelected Democrats have forced car manufacturers to build larger cars or pay penalties.

Ignited by lightening.

Thumbs down, the video is unnecessary long, you could have done it 2 minutes

Maybe people who call them liars should do research instead all this B""#&S that comes from Is scientist that claim climate change is real. This stuff has been happening since the earth was formed. So here it is get a life. I believe Prageru and not these fake climate change scientist from other universities that don't even have a research facility

You tell me that I couldn't get this on tape anywhere

Turns out the difference between the Netherlands and the United States is them actually caring about their people needlessly dying...

This lack of energy efficiency in the US is because of Lobbyists overrunning the capitals of states and the nation. You can add the poorly insulated and designed track housing to the US stupidity index. I would think that adding solar hot water to new construction should be cheap and a no-brainer, but the greedy have a limited intelligence. Besides, solar water heaters are about 3 times more efficient than solar electric systems. In areas with less sun, a hybridized system will still save you money.
