Power to the People - Full Video

As developing countries escape poverty and march toward prosperity and better lives, more people than ever are using energy--to power their homes, schools, hospitals, and businesses, and connect to the global economy. But how will we provide more energy while still protecting our environment?
Hosted by Swedish economist and author Johan Norberg, Power to the People explores how innovation and new technologies are providing answers to our world's growing energy needs. From a solar facility in Morocco to wind farms in Denmark, from a hydraulic fracturing site in Pennsylvania to a trucking company in Florida that is converting its fleet to natural gas, Power to the People examines how innovators from around the world are finding new, creative, and cost-effective solutions to our planet's growing energy needs.

What an intelligent and thorough examination of common assumptions about the use and environmental costs of energy production! THANK YOU!

[@watsbrewing]

Ah how times change! The same country that produced Johan also produced Greta.

[@rameshacharya6941]

Without energy we can't have economic growth better living!

[@alvaroperezmoral7849]

And without a planet we can't exist... I rather prefer to be alive!

[@preetipaweriapaweria]

I'm obsessed with all the knowledge your channel is providing. Thank you for sharing

[@transporter78213]

I for one am grateful that you have chosen to create this channel and share its content with us.

[@angga8746]

Thank you for sharing this! very interesting documentary.

[@CrackOpenWisdom]

Great job! Why don't we have this kind of education in schools?

[@alvaroperezmoral7849]

In the public ones or the private ones???

[@sabengry]

Because schools are a product of the same government that creates the messes described in this documentary. It would go against politicians own selfish interests to promote information that would strip them of their power.

I lived in this regions, yes, the documentary is very accurate, too bad it's not that popular.

[@gareginasatryan6761]

So basically nuclear is the most environmentally friendly energy

[@rboniii]

Nuclear fails cost competitively. Very expensive to dispose of the waste.

[@leafster1337]

Johan!

[@martingainty9623]

can we see video on energy output from tidal power plants?

[@MrShalako1]

Interesting how Germany dumped the cost of renewable energy onto the retail side and exempted industry from the full cost of conversion. #economics_101 Roughly the 37:00:00 mark.

If one looks at the heat energy that is in the core of the earth is so great that should one extract enough to replace all the energy that we are using now it would only reduce the core temperature by 1 degree in trillions of years. Transportation is the biggest need in the system. I would take a huge amount of solar power to supply that need. My math gives me 1/3 of the US surface. Volcanic activity is the most likely best way to seek the source. And it may also reduce the risk they generate. There are global impacts happening from them. I don't know of any way a binary system can impact the environment. The biggest headache, as I understand it, is the corrosiveness of the fluids that get involved in moving the heat to the heat exchanger. Using carbon composite lined plumbing may solve this concern. It can stand very high temperatures. Mount Vesuvius is heading for a blow again, I hear. The shores around it are rising.

My God! There is not a speck of trash there in the marketplace! No styrofoam cups, paper or plastic bags, not even cigarette butts, blowing around!

The greatest threat to the environment is population explosion, something which we actually have figures on and that we can do something about. I think it is most important that we introduce decent and practical forms of family planning - Karl Popper

[@annalyon8443]

Cut to about 34 minutes in and learn about the fate of the little idyllic village of Atterwasch, East Germany.

[@JackBeNimble-fb1fn]

No one wants to think about it, but access to energy and the technologies it fuels does save lives... and contributes significantly to the already extreme world population explosion. 7.5 Billion people is too many, with or without the added energy consumption. Soon, very soon in a historical sense, the people of Earth will come to accept that life is not sacred, and is in fact cheap. And means of reducing the population will be developed and used to control it.

Need carbon tax and time of use electricity tariffs, not subsidies to "winners"

[@neatodd]

What's with all the horrible background music? Very difficult to concentrate on what people are saying with music playing behind them.

[@cebaztian]

Free market will lead to cheap, sustainable and clean energy. Well it has not. Free market = the most resilient and sustainable energy. WELL IT HAS NOT LED TO THAT. This film is not only a COMMERCIAL for destroying ground water. It is an utopia that finishes with the word: MIGHT and MAY being repeated.

[@transporter78213]

Well Sebastian, what do you recommend we do about the planetary need for energy? BTW, free market is not what you believe it is if you think we are currently experiencing it.

[@patmanz28]

So we don't have energy? Learn history then come back

[@alvaroperezmoral7849]

@@patmanz28 Patrick, did you show the documentary? That's exactly what it was all about...
