Global renewables: Pioneering the energy transition | DW Documentary

We are facing the greatest upheaval since industrialization. To stop climate change, the energy system must be transformed worldwide. Very little time remains to accomplish this. But there are places where this renewable future has already arrived.
The documentary explores the question of what needs to happen in terms of politics, policies, and society to implement what is technically possible, when it comes to renewable energy. To do this, the film visits two completely different places. One is in the US and the other, in Bavaria. These localities have two things in common: Both have completely converted their energy supply to renewables and as a result, both now have more money in their coffers today than before.
The documentary provides a global overview of the solutions that already exist for a worldwide energy transition. And it asks what challenges still need to be overcome -- not only in the laboratories and power plants, but also among the movers and shakers who must drive the change today.
Part 1: • Will renewables stop t...

"we did not inherit this planet from our parents. we're borrowing it from our children" very beautiful!

[@ValMartinIreland]

So what does wind farms actually do? Have all the fossil fuel power station been shut down? his technology was obsolete 100 years ago.

[@veryCreativeName0001-zv1ir]

​@@ValMartinIrelandtbf every modern source of power was invented well before the 1900s with recent exceptions being nuclear fission reactors and super mirror power plants rather than thinking of these technologies as old, we continue to improve on existing methods and recombine them with modern technology like supercritical thermal power plants or using machines for cleaning solar panels, or using fiber glass for the towers of wind turbines (it is a recent phenomenon of putting wind turbines at 300m above the ground)

[@ValMartinIreland]

@@veryCreativeName0001-zv1ir The polyphase electrical distribution system was introduced by Tesla / Westinghouse in the 1900s and not the 1800s. The condensing steam turbine was not available until well i9nto the 20th century.

[@BR-hi6yt]

When I was in Germany a lady there blamed the British for mad cow disease and how it was going to destroy us all. She was blaming me as I am British - lol. She was so very very sure. But National Socialism, Communism (both German inventions) they were also so very sure. That lady at the beginning of this video reminded me of this type of attitude (she was saying: "we have very little time to save the planet, so we start city-changes NOW"). ...... Oh dear dear..... what can I say without being rude?

[@aztronomy7457]

For those criticizing renewables saying they will never “overtake” fossil fuels. They don’t have to 100% replace them for them to be effective. Even if renewables make up 15,20,25% of the global energy production, that’s still better than 0. Over time, hundreds of years perhaps, renewables will be the dominant energy source. I dont understand the logic that we have to wait for oil to he prohibitively expensive for us to start thinking about sustainable energy.

[@MLK_Sold_Black_america_out]

if you're not engaging in building nuclear,then you're not serious at all. the simple building of a EV battery has more emissions than a gas engine over it's ENTIRE lifespan which if properly maintained is over 40 years.not to mention there's simply not enough rare earth materials to satisfy just UK and USA government demands alone,much less the rest of the globe.wind and solar are not only more detrimental to the earth in terms of land usage and destruction to wildlife,it's UNRELIABLE and MORE EXPENSIVE. in america alone you have over 400 plus years of oil and gas and more is being discovered over time. biofuels are a neat trick but again something like ethanol is worse for engines as while it burns cooler and you get more power,you use more fuel as a direct result. yeah i'm criticizing renewables and EVs because WE DON'T LIKE ENVIROMENTAL MARXISM which "sustainablity and climate change" is

[@archetype6351]

I'd argue renewables were never the solution, and that if we want to ever let go of fossils people better start changing their posture on nuclear.

[@dedetudor.]

​@@aztronomy7457yes... And please address nuclear waste. Waste dumps are a scary research subject. Super Fund sites uncleanable.

[@davidjohnson-tq4qx]

You don't have enough Copper, Lithium, or Cobalt. You will need 4 earth planets of resources to provide a Germany lifestyle to India, Africa, and China. The actual problem is population overshoot. There is not enough carrying capacity already for the amount of people who exist and oil is not becoming more abundant. Production will peak within a decade

[@davidjohnson-tq4qx]

Show me the petroleum you have saved for every solar panel

[@wyshsksoqqiu]

I've noticed that some people tend to view solutions in absolute terms: either as completely ineffective(0%) or as the best possible choice(100%). But I believe that evaluating options on a scale of 'better' or 'worse' is more effective than labelling them as 'the best' or 'the worst'. The video helped me realise this about my own approach to decision-making.

[@eksodass]

This comment should be used as a template for neti-courtesy.

[@daniellarson3068]

So true - People deny the vast clean energy of nuclear power. They worry about a small amount of waste or the extremely low risk. As we say, "They throw the baby out with the bath water."

[@user-hh6ex9md4w]

Thank you for sharing your insightful perspective on evaluating options. It's true that looking at choices on a scale of 'better' or 'worse' can be more effective than viewing them as absolutes. In the context of renewable energy, the video highlights the importance of transitioning to cleaner sources. By considering products like the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series, with its impressive features such as massive capacity and fast recharging, we can find solutions that align with our values of sustainability and reliable power backup. Happy camping and family adventures!

[@user-hh6ex9md4w]

I completely agree with your perspective on evaluating options on a scale of "better" or "worse" rather than labeling them as "the best" or "the worst." It allows for a more balanced and nuanced assessment. By the way, have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It offers a massive capacity, powerful output, and fast recharging, making it a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts and RV lovers seeking reliable backup power. Just thought I'd mention it!

[@user-hh6ex9md4w]

I completely agree with your perspective on evaluating options on a scale of 'better' or 'worse'. It's important to consider the pros and cons of different solutions instead of labeling them as 'the best' or 'the worst'. By doing so, we can make informed decisions that suit our specific needs. On another note, if you're looking for a reliable backup power solution for your outdoor adventures or family time, you might want to check out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It offers a massive capacity, fast recharging, and versatile features that could be a great fit for outdoor enthusiasts and RV lovers like us.

The single most annoying thing around the topic of renewable energy is how people dismiss its feasibility just because 1 solution cannot replace a non-renewable counterpart. Who said it has to be an equal exchange? If we can eliminate fossil energy and nuclear power plants with the combined network of 50 renewable alternative, that's also a success - and a functional solution. Nearly every smart tech is based on the same principles - modularized structure, utilization of local advantages, scalability through grid /network system. What won't work however is doing nothing and hoping somehow the issue goes away or end up being critical after we personally die....

If every front yard changed from mowed grass to native plants for pollinators, we would make a big impact on the survival of small pollinators and other beneficial native critters. My backyard is native plants and we have quail, hawks, butterflies, bunnies, hummingbirds, snakes, mice, scorpions, dragonflies. All kinds of native critters that all keep each other in check. It’s wonderful to watch them. We don’t have any invasive pets like dogs or cats to bug them either. A safe haven. Lancaster may be going zero carbon but all those square green lawns are no good for local ecosystems. Animals are losing their habitats at alarming rates. Another issue we need to confront.

[@TheKhaosMagician]

all those huge parking lots and wide roads in Lancaster are probably much worse. Not to mention how much less efficient land and energy efficient all those single family houses looked. Sure they might have a couple electric buses, but that place looked terminally car dependent. Also their mayor was really "leading by example" when he was bragging about his stupid flights all around the world.

5:50 Burning wood pallets and calling it green energy is exactly what people mean when they mention greenwashing. Well done.

[@bednarjozef]

Would they not otherwise just rot away releasing its co2 without providing energy?

[@mike42356]

Burning plant matter can be green if it's consumed at the same pace it is regenerated. If so, the net carbon release is zero. After all, the wooden mass is mostly made of carbon absorbed from the atmosphere. I am not sure how feasible it is, at an induatrial scale, perhaps it depends on the plant. Must be efficient: fast grower and having high energy density in its wood (oil in case of biofuels). Including other losses - expenses for soil fertilizing, processing, transportation.

[@Rene-uz3eb]

It's the same bs as biofuels. Ignoring everything that went into growing, harvesting, processing, land use, water use, pollution, etc, per chatgpt. All at a lousy maybe 2% of solar use, just so you can burn the expensively gathered carbon again.

Informative video

[@donaldflett1504]

Interesting, informative and profitable technology plus we can save the planet. Very encouraging.

[@chris1806]

why do you think it is profitable

[@peterloulee8845]

Like this is what we need for energy

[@MrArtist7777]

20 years ago, the U.S. produced 7% of its energy from renewable energy, it was all hydro. We started this year producing 25% of our energy via renewable energy, still 7% from hydro, 18% from solar and wind and enough solar and wind is in development now, to produce 50% in 7 years and 80% by 2040. Nuclear will produce the rest, supplying 100% clean energy before 2050. The EU is on the same track and China is close behind. The future looks better than the near past.

[@borealphoto]

You've still missing 80% that isn't electricity. Also, by 2050, you'll need to replace most solar and wind.

[@williamandersson7638]

China is close behind ? 65% is from Coal, and they are building more coal plants. In 2023 china broke a new CO2 emission record due to them cranking up coal fuel. They stand for 41% of the worlds fossil fuels emission. Yeah they are close behind bro.

Thank you very much for this documentary, DW. It means a whole lot to encouraging me to do more and be more. I love Hydrogen Research!

In Bangladesh, solar panels are kind of mandatory in villages. But people buy for a few months when they build their houses. Later on, they sell .

it is really necessary. Imagine if we haven't invested enough on renewable energy when oil and uranium deposits run out.

[@user-nt4wv7me4g]

In porugal, Brazil and a lot of places, but in my country people whonhave PV with normal inverters, plug on grid, when grid goes off, no more PV or renewable energy...😅😅

[@jedics1]

As someone who built a tiny house with independence and efficiency on a budget as a priority all this is sensible to my ears against the utter insanity going on almost everywhere else. How can a new house not have solar in 2023 is beyond me, in my opinion its a complete waste of money to use tiles or anything other than solar panels on a new roof. I bet there is regulation that actually prevents me from doing it in most countries.....Madness.

[@Pid75]

The manufacturing process for solar panels involves the use of hazardous materials, such as cadmium and lead, which can pollute the environment if not properly managed. Additionally, the disposal of solar panels at the end of their lifespan raises concerns about potential leaching of these materials into the environment.

Thanks dw. Thanks Scandinavia for leading the way and having women in power positions. The cooperation required for our global society suits them very well. Yes, part of our problems is the surpression of women and being generally mean and cynical. Wished we would live in more agreeable times. Appreciate everyone making a difference, fighting the good fight.

[@RafaelSantos-pi8py]

Why do we need more women in positions of power if women and men are equal? Or are you telling me there's a diference between them?

[@RafaelSantos-pi8py]

@@tim90003 Come off. I want more competent and honest people in charge, and the way to determine that is not by checking what kind of organs they have on their crotch. Again, robot pc , why do we need more women in positions of power, what will that change and why will it change just because of their gender?

[@tim90003]

Well I think historically it's been harder for women to reach those positions so it's a good sign to see some women there.

[@RafaelSantos-pi8py]

@@tim90003 If its a result of their merit and hard work that's great. But if its the result of gender quotas or political manouvering and capable men were replaced with women for no other reason than their gender that's not a good thing for society. Women should have not only the same rights but the same responsability and accountability than men.Wich means its women's responsability, not society or men, to earn the right to have access to those positions.

The Hydrogen production was a big mistake. It is DAR more efficient to directly power EV busses.

[@PaulADAigle]

I'm wondering if the synthetic photosynthesis will pull Hydrogen from Salt water, and if so, what happens to the sodium? Will it be a cheap and easy Desalination method, or will it just work differently producing something else?

[@sarcasmo57]

Good luck with it all.

[@wilfredpeake9987]

Hydrogen should not be used for energy storage but for ammonia production.

[@0ctatr0n]

Why on earth would they push hydrogen for energy storage? It's incredibly inefficient as an energy storage medium, you loose 75% of the energy in the conversion and compression on the gas, not to mention it's difficult to transport as it leaks through everything! Batteries retain 99% of the energy they receive, they can also be cheap as well if you use say a flow battery that relies on tanks of chemicals to hold the electrical potential like that vandium flow batteries or the Zinc, Bromide battery in Australia. Need more storage? get bigger tanks thats it! I feel this video has been heavily marketed by the fossil fuel industry, who else would push a piped gas so hard?
