This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "different methods to generate electricity" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Diyadison Penhloe Blaster - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a good one off guide for generating your own electricity minus the hard work.

People will live close to nature, and as our true Herbivorous, Social, peaceful, Cooperative animal, that we are!. We have thriving examples of Eco living, and we know the solutions, we need to organise locally with LA to install Micro renewable energy, water source heat pumps, the building of Photo Bio Reactors (PBR) to grow Carbon Negative Algea Bio Fuel, The Algea can be fed waste water, Lanfill Runoff, Industrial Gasses.

China giving with one hand, taking away with the other. As of 2019... China 1,000 gigawatts of existing coal capacity, China has 121 gigawatts of coal plants under construction, which is more than is being built in the rest of the world combined. China was the country with the highest installed capacity of coal power plants, amounting to over 973,000 megawatts. In 2017, there were 359 coal-powered units at the electrical utilities across the US, with a total nominal capacity of 256 GW. U.S. power companies expect to retire or convert from coal to gas over 10,600 megawatts (MW) of coal-fired plants in 2019 after shutting over 13,000 MW in 2018, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and Thomson Reuters data.

[@joeblack4436]

A big part of the problem right now is that we have become part of this machine that is the fossil fuel industry. It has come to dictate much of the way we live. Too few people realise how much of our time in this life is currently still spent purely on making the fossil fuel energy paradigm possible. Logistically and economically. Follow the money. It is the breadcrumbs of our efforts, needs and aspirations. So easily we consider the direct energy margins involved with extraction, 'this' many barrels of energy to extract 'that' many, but fail to consider the human effort implicit in those margins. Society is like a patient trying to point out where it hurts, and it hurts everywhere it is pointing, but it turns out it is the finger used which is injured. We have not yet been able to sufficiently imagine what living in a world where energy is cheaper than the cost to transport it might look like. Which is exactly where the renewable energy revolution is taking us. I can tell you that every logical avenue I have explored indicates to me that the renewable revolution will not just be an energy revolution, but also a revolution in humane standards of living. Humane ways of living. Energy is power. Sustainable distributed energy will empower everybody on this planet to improve their lives. Not only that, but in an environmental sense the transition will be akin to sucking the poison out of a snake bite. Many look at the way things are now and are convinced that this is the only sensible way to live. Prominently the titans of this fading industry. So they vociferously oppose change. I can even sympathise. They understand that paradigm better than anybody. Their relatively good fortune is underpinned by a certain status quo. Their peace of mind by a whole hearted acceptance of it. But it is not the only way to live. A better way to live is possible. You see it more and more. Individuals, couples and whole families living full, rich, rewarding, healthy and happy lives on barely anything. Simply because technology is starting to make it possible.

[@dmithsmith5880]

All energy is a environmental trade off. There is no such thing as "Free Energy" "Green Energy" is about one thing and one thing only and that's $$.. period.. It is not about saving the planet and never was and never will be. To think otherwise makes us Green Sucker's.. It's all a huge marketing racket.

[@joeblack4436]

@@dmithsmith5880 Well actually... In a way it's better than free. You get more energy than you put into making solar panels and the return is worth more than it costs to make them. You can take some of the returns and reinvest in new solar panels with equally beneficial results. With relatively low, low environmental impact. Same for wind. All win. It is also about $$$ as you put it, but that is most definitely true for fossil fuels as well. So I don't see how that is even relevant to the conversation. It is actually cheaper than even coal. Energy infrastructure that pays for itself and then some. The only difference. Energy independence is possible for every nation on earth. Solar and wind can be assembled anywhere and the materials needed to build them can be sourced from anywhere. Far, far better.

[@dmithsmith5880]

90% of solar panels are made in enviornmentally unregulated countries and the amount of toxic waste and chemicals that go into the air and water directly from the production of the panels just about 100% negates the "Green" aspect of the entire panel itself before it is even sold... as of now Clean Coal is environmentally more friendly then solar.

[@joeblack4436]

@@dmithsmith5880 Yeah see... There's a problem with your argument. Coal mining and the fossil fuel industry release truly vast quantities of toxic waste. Prominently heavy metal and metalloid pollution. Including lead, mercury and arsenic. Compare this with silicon panels which typically only release a variety of acids and a few types of solvents: "The PV cell manufacturing process includes a number of hazardous materials, most of which are used to clean and purify the semiconductor surface. These chemicals, similar to those used in the general semiconductor industry, include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrogen fluoride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and acetone. The amount and type of chemicals used depends on the type of cell, the amount of cleaning that is needed, and the size of silicon wafer". So A: The type of pollution from solar panel production is significantly more benign and manageable. And B: Not all panels are equal. Some types produce hardly any significant pollution compared to say... The world vacuum cleaner industry. And the tech and it's environmental credential are improving all the time. With increases in efficiency you effectively get more bang for your buck. Be that the financial buck or the environmental buck. And then there's the CO2 emissions which by any reasonable metric is our greatest current concern. Wind has a basically negligible impact. Batteries are still fairly heavy polluters (again nothing near the levels of the fossil fuel industry), but improving all the time due to significant ongoing material science research all over the the world. For example soon Tesla might not even use cobalt in their batteries anymore. Negating the entire environmental consequence of sourcing and using that element. Basically any and all pollution generated by all renewable power hardware manufacture is vastly overshadowed and outclassed completely by the effects of the fossil fuel industry. In my book renewable power is the better option. I'll rather go with a better option than no option. It is utterly critical that the renewable power industry proliferates.

[@joeblack4436]

@B. Rippy Blah.. blah... Plants need water too and you don't see plants thriving in a lake of boiling water. If the climate gets too hot then it'll make no difference whether plants like the CO2 or not. Half the species of animal on earth or more will not be able to adapt quickly enough and just die out. Sure plants will survive wherever the climate still suits them. If there's more CO2 then they will thrive in climates suitable to them. But I'm not a plant sir, and neither are you. We're ultimately talking about our own survival here. I'm happy that Las Vegas got a bit of snow for the first time, but my city reached 50C in places for the first time ever a few years ago. Climate "change". "average" heating. If you don't get those concepts then I assure you. You do not have the mental capacity to be part of the discussion. Or at the very least need to go back to school for a while. Just stick to what you are good at. There is no shame in it.

[@1944rupert]

One solution to. the intermitent energy supply is to pump water into a reservoir using surplus energy then release it through a turbine when energy is needed

[@gregripp]

@thevso Renewable energy produced does not always match up with energy demand and so there is a surplus at times. That's when you use the surplus energy to pump water to a reservoir at a higher elevation to run turbines when there is energy demand. Demand is generally late in the day when the sun is much less strong or has set.

Storage costs are falling on a similar cost curve to solar and storage also increases the value of renewables. I think the grid will ultimately be a combination of nuclear, renewables, and storage. Storage and nuclear is where investment should be directed

[@almagulmenlibayeva5225]

sure. 100% propaganda paid by Communists

[@JillesvanGurp]

It's an important notion that we should embrace mass energy consumption and stop seeing it as a problem and look at it as a challenge instead. Solar dropping 10x in price in the past 10 years means 10x more energy for the same money. The next decades look like that there will be some more drops. So that brings the question to the table what we would do if we could use 100-1000X more energy personally and collectively with absolutely no negative consequences. What are we going to do with that energy? Well, if you look at most structural problems in this world, having a lot of energy helps solve them. Food production is a great example. It requires light and water to grow stuff. You can produce both with energy. Making clean energy cheaper, means making food production cheaper. Also, it makes transport and logistics cheaper and cleaner. People are worried about their carbon footprints when they are flying. What if you could fly electrically and the electricity costs next to nothing, the planes don't make a lot of noise, and they fly themselves? Suddenly it goes from a wasteful and expensive way to get around to being the most convenient way to get from A to B. Often overlooked is fuel production. Fuel is simply stored energy. One use of excess solar is simply producing fuel that can be stored and burned at a later time. We are rapidly approaching the point where that is both feasible and cheaper than mining it from fossil deposits. Converting C02 and H2O into more complicated carbohydrates is not rocket science but it can power them. All it takes is energy and a bit of ingenuity.

Today I filled up with regular gas for $2.28 per gallon in my Cadillac Escalade in Chattanooga TN. It is not a sustainable model but a lot of energy and material went into the production of this Cadillac so I might as well put another 100,000 miles on it. Hopefully in 5 years, 3D manufacturing techniques will allow full size SUV's demanded by affluent American consumers to be manufactured stronger but lighter, more efficient powered by CNG or better yet hyrogen fuel cells. The success of green energy will be fulfilled when we all live like kings and queens served by robots performing the undersirable tasks of life. Floating cities of continental scale built on the ocean in temperate zones. The possibilities are endless.

I used to be totally down with renewables, but apparantly nuclear is by far the least worst option we have. It doesn't sound as good as "green" energy but it's better overall for the environment. look into it if you don't believe me

[@michelangelobuonarroti916]

It's far too expensive. And "the least worst"? Easily solar or wind.

[@kilen9me5skilen]

@@michelangelobuonarroti916 The thing about wind and solar though is that they need way more material to build, and they need way more land to be constructed on, and they're only effective 30% of the time so you need tons of batteries. So in the long run nuclear is "the least worst" for the environment overall. But i'm not against wind and solar, just saying focus should be on nuclear, especially in Europe where we have no deserts. Not too sure about the cost though.

[@rogerstarkey5390]

@@kilen9me5skilen Two constructors have just pulled out of nuclear in the UK mid project because they can't make money on it. Another project (French! So they're "experts"!) is at least *5 years* late, billions over budget and has a power "strike price" that is already, at *today's* rates, 20% more expensive than offshore wind. Land and material? nuclear requires a big site, not only for reactors but for peripheral buildings. Furthermore, unless you want it in populated areas, there is effectively an exclusion zone around nuclear (also requiring security!) The first phase of the largest wind farm in the world using absolutely huge turbines has just been switched on in the North Sea! No land involved! When the generator pods on those turbines finally reach end of life in decades from now, they can be removed, recycled and replaced on the same mast saving tons of material with a high proportion of recycling. New nuclear can take 20 years to propose, legislate, design, build and test. Similar money spent on wind power could produce a comparable output in 5 years, meaning 15 years(!) of clean power rather than fossil fuel generation, which would also be cheaper than the nuclear option as previously mentioned. These projects would also be making *profit* over that 15 year period, effectively paying for themselves by the time and nuclear station was even starting to produced power(!) Wind power is the "most *best* solution"!

What's the idea behind having an English speaking documentary, but including large segments of Dutch or Chinese, etc language that is completely unintelligible and without subtitles or any further explanation of those particular long and involved discourses? I feel I'm missing out on important details those individuals are sharing at length. Informative doco anyway, but very frustrating for me in that regard.

[@vprodocumentary]

Hi Chris Wood, we understand your frustration but we are Dutch broadcaster and we are not dubbing our documentaries. However, you should be possible to see it with English subtitles if you put it on in CC.

[@xyzsame4081]

The Dutch have a lot of movies with subtitles (it is a small market for TV and movies, much smaller than for the German language), that is why their children are good with reading skills (they must if they want to understand a foreign movie) and the population is good in English in general (which is the most common languge for subs)

I like to bake kale until it's crisp and eat it as a snack food. Unfortunately I also have a serious truffle addiction and will eat rich chocolate balls until it's absolutely ridiculous. I make my own since I only eat European chocolate, preferably Swiss chocolate, which is expensive in the US but less expensive if I buy it in quantity and make the candies myself. I've become pretty good at it.

[@SWOBIZ]

Wind and solar generation disrupts the grid's stability because their output fluctuates erratically with weather conditions. Thus, every wind and solar installation must be propped up by reliable nuclear and fossil fuel plants which compensate for the dangerous and unpredictable fluctuations of wind/solar output. Otherwise, they would cause life-threatening black/brown outs and voltage spikes throughout the day.

I love the sustainable city,as the world population grows more people will need to live in city's.Plants should be grow every were,green walls,green houses on roofs and balconies and parks,plants in doors.Would be great if you had food clubs to share with your neighbours,grow your own. I have experimented with plants and grow my own tomatoes, lemons and runner beans,some veg will only be available seasonally the rest of the time use preserved (frozen or caned)I only have a small space but could do much more that's the way to go.

[@lindatullos9430]

The only problem with that is the water factor and the fact that plant roots have an ability to slowly push through even concrete (which has components they can utilize) .So infrastructure will collapse over shorter time spans than they would otherwise.

[@sanjuansteve]

We should all be using electric vehicles charged from the excess power generated from our home, business and covered parking rooftop solar arrays making nearly everything we do 100% solar powered. The cost per distance driven is ridiculously cheap when you are your own solar fuel station (less than $0.01 USD per mile)! #nobrainer We cannot afford to continue to burn fossil fuels!

[@Tore_Lund]

This is from Holland and Sweden, not the same thing. Wind power in Denmark has hit a roadblock. Nobody wants their ocean view spoiled by turbines. So even if the Danish government have goals for getting more EVs on the road, no plan for renewable energy exists to match that demand. That's why it isn't featured in this video.

Green energy is not really "green".Lithium mined in South America needs massive amounts of water in the mining process. Those mines also use up water that farmers need and there are massive pollution problems from the production of lithium. Those wind Turbines have to be manufactured, transported to sites and 100 tons of concrete used as a base. Life expectancy maybe 20 years if you're lucky. Solar panels again short life expectancy. The turbines and solar panels can leech harmful chemicals into the environment. Most electricity is produced by coal, natural gas in the world. Nuclear and Hydroelectric power makes more sense as they are a long life on-demand power sources. Why would I want to spend $40,000.00 for solar panels on my home? That means I get paid to produce electricity that my neighbor has to subsidize by increased power rates if they don't have solar panels on their roof. Every time solar and wind turbines are added to a power grid, the cost of power to users goes up dramatically. There is an affordability issue here. What's wrong with natural gas being used for electrical power generation it's an affordable, clean-burning fuel. Also, it's on-demand producing energy. From what I see solar panels and wind turbines run on subsidies, not the sun and wind.

[@michaelfelder2640]

As work and shop from home becomes the new norm, energy draw from a grid will become more predictable, thus peaker plant/ mega pack battery storage use will stabilize. Tesla vehicle to grid and virtual power plant tech and trading know how has already empowered battery storage owner the monetary model that allows them to sell, at a profit by sharing or selling your excess power production. I know the future is brighter with renewable.

[@osopolarmovies]

How do you build windmill farms and solar plants without using fossil energy? Each plant must be renewed at least every 30 - 35 years.

[@BXJ-mi9mm]

The EROI on these sources is very high, so even when produced from coal power, they reduce emissions by a massive amount. You can then use these source to power the factors as well.

[@yogidevendrabiriyani1777]

Im in florida and we have the only solar farms in the country besides california (which only has one!!) we need to invest and fund R&D here in the US to invent the most efficient and least polluting production methods for solar!!! we need to store the huge farms in cali (they have the most sunlight AND the most physical extra space) and send the power out to the rest of the country!

[@curmudgeon1933]

A two minute search on Google would show how wrong this statement is. Over 250,000 people are currently employed in the US solar industry, and it is increasing rapidly. Although it is true that California has the greatest number of solar farms, other states such as Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Hawaii have all started building plants. Texas, which has the greatest potential for solar is, unfortunately, slow to take advantage due to resistance from the powerful fossil fuel lobby in that state. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_the_United_States

[@DennisCambly]

Before you purchase a vehicle powered by electricity ask yourself - What is the source of the electricity your vehicle will use? I am in favor of moving away from fossil fuel, however, once again people are being sold on the idea by switching to automobiles. Very few talk about rapid transportation without fossil fuel. Wind is being sold as a green energy when in fact it uses tremendous amounts of non-renewable resources to build and maintain.

It was alot of Solerpanel just to make 150 Megawatt energy, when you can make the same enrgy with only 19 windmill's 1 windturbine make 8 Megawatt, so you only need 19 of them, and the space all the solar panels take, and all the metal they use just to keep the panel flot on the river, then i'm more in to wind turbine like we use in Denmark, in year 2030 we will have only wind turbine energy in all our contry, clean energy for all the contry only with windturbine, we already have 50-60% now, so soon we will be up on 100% wind turbine energy for all our contry and even sell to Sweden or Germany clean energy..Vestas wind turbine in Denmark made in Denmark.
