We learned about electricity so you don't have to...

We spent a good three months trying to get to the bottom of this question.

I don't even live in the City and I'm obsessed with this channel's short documentaries. You can tell there's so much love put into these videos, not just from the creators but also the people being interviewed. These people always seem to love what they're doing or are proud of the community they're a part of. Seriously amazing work as always, please keep creating these they give me hope.

[@publicopinionnyc]

Thank you so much

[@evandux]

These short docs y'all are doing are the best. Please keep doing them. Everything about NYC is fascinating.

[@publicopinionnyc]

Appreciate you!

[@marcosromo]

I’m telling you, this channel is criminally underrated at the moment, but it will be HUGE in the near future! Keep it up man, astonishing work by all the team! Greetings from Argentina!

[@publicopinionnyc]

Thank you!

[@themoderncoder]

Another awesome video. Appreciate all the work you put into these, it really shows! Everytime you drop new videos like this it reinvigorates my sense of excitement that I get to live here

[@acultural_]

tastefully and sleekly filmed✅ informative, fun, well paced, & easily digestible✅✅

[@piakhaira]

i wish every big city had a public opinion! learning so much about public works and infrastructure!! I love it thanks jack & team.

[@joancoyne2130]

Another GREAT engaging and informative video about the things and people that make NYC so wonderful. Way to go Public Opinion! Love Kieran's music, too!

[@publicopinionnyc]

Love you!

[@Matt-yy1jv]

Bro keep making these public works documentaries. They're so good.

[@someoneelse7629]

I knew all of this (for where I live) and have even visited the local hydropower plant, but the way you broke it down and explained it was very good. You should really ask yourself things this way every day, "Where does my loaf of bread come from" "Where does my drinking water come from" and so on to get a better understanding of the infrastructure of every day life...

[@publicopinionnyc]

🙏

[@future-free]

The production level of this video is off the charts. Fantastic video, really enjoyed

[@Henriflame]

This youtube channel is incredible, cheers for making this and all the other great videos!

[@publicopinionnyc]

Thank you and thanks for subscribing!

[@tomreingold4024]

I love how you cover the basics of infrastructure, the stuff we take for granted but shouldn't.

[@MrSisu44]

Informative and entertaining, well done!

[@mogulmayhem]

watt will Public Opinion come up with next? I luved the tennis segment

[@wgfarrow1]

Another fantastic vid guys

[@westgivens]

These videos are always so well done. Keep it up y'all!

[@TheDyingPlant]

love this channel!

[@ydh-berusaha]

Dude you can use any translation app or whatever, i just wanna say.. i fancy your channel and the contents you guys make, setiap kali liat video baru di kanal lo gue kayak ngerasa pengen juga jadi konten kreator.. ngangkat topik tentang kota dimana gue tinggal dan sebagainya. Jangan pernah berhenti! If someday i make a youtube channel and become a content creator, lo adalah salah satu yang ngasih inspirasi ke gue, peace out😁✌🏻

[@publicopinionnyc]

Thank you so much! Terima kasih banyak!

[@moviewryter1985]

LOVED this video. Behind the scenes of human ingenuity, though impressive what we as humans do, can often be pretty dry to watch, but when it's made up lifting like this one, there's no better thing to watch! Love seeing all of the people coming together and taking pride in their work and knowing the importance of their part in it all.

[@TheBackwardBros]

Great video! Just saw your channel and I like the videos a lot! Great quality, interesting and laidback! Btw, you remind me a lot of chandler from friends

[@sauravlas]

Amazingly made short film. NYC has always fascinated me and this channel keeps that going. One of my favorite cities to visit.

[@calvin941]

this summer i apply to colleges with electrical engineering as my major and i loved this video

[@Ian00003]

I'm in school to be an electrician right now and it's such a good feeling to understand what these professionals you talked to were explaining

[@landmarksofny]

Great job as always

[@publicopinionnyc]

Thanks brother!

[@Fligon]

Holy shit jack you have found it, you have been at it for so long and this is it, love it, keep going

[@drewgatelyYT]

Great vid!

[@rupearth]

it would be interesting to know the electricity consumption of a big city's 24hr digital billboards and lighting / climate control for empty skyscrapers.

[@publicopinionnyc]

Agreee! We will try to find out!

[@visitour]

Another great video from the PO team🙌🍿

[@omlette9214]

cool video man! love the music videos, this video flowed welL!

[@ToppyTree]

This is a great video! Do you split it up for shorts as well?

[@publicopinionnyc]

Yes!

[@Julesvzanten]

It’s almost a crime how little views this have, this is brilliant content

[@jengm3419]

I love this channel so much ❤

[@publicopinionnyc]

Thank you so much

[@shgenergy]

Awesome video, hopefully this gets the recognition it deserves

[@aidanperkins3947]

Another great video

[@publicopinionnyc]

🙏

[@samdoessomestuff]

I love public opinion! I hope you guys can cover America as a whole, New York is a huge part of America, but there's so much potential! Keep up the good work

[@Gigaamped]

Maybe Jack’s mission is to be a template that people can use in their cities. Jack is not from Denver so it wouldn’t make as much sense as if someone from Denver did it. But I love public_opinion and I believe we can’t even imagine what positive impact it will make at the going rate 📈

[@samdoessomestuff]

@@Gigaamped well said friend !

[@publicopinionnyc]

We're focused on local because this is where we live and what we're experiencing, but our long term plan is definitely to expand around the country and eventually around the world. There's so much different cities and organizations can learn from one another. The dream is to make the world a little bit smaller and a little bit stronger through positive and optimistic storytelling. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!

[@seabiscuitkitten]

could you do a video about the rats in NYC? I’m not from there but I’m fascinated!

[@marcosromo]

this is a great idea

[@publicopinionnyc]

We did this short: instagram.com/reel/Cukha0voZe_/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

[@RChyshkevych]

There needs to be a video on Lewis Latimore. First time hearing that he's the one responsible for the carbon filament

[@publicopinionnyc]

Would be really cool!

[@Switz213]

this is great, but would love to see it go deeper!

[@publicopinionnyc]

Hopefully we can do a lot more soon!

[@ChrisDN]

Poor Joseph Swan--inventor of the light bulb--ignored again.

[@rene9901]

It is astonishing to see that this channel , specifically these videos are so underrated .. m no New Yorker btw

[@schwaar]

Please do a video on solar power next

[@publicopinionnyc]

☀️☀️☀️

[@andreperez8295]

Great video

[@publicopinionnyc]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mwsawyer15]

Can we get a P.O. piece about NYC playgrounds?? As a child at heart I'd love to see / hear what that scene is like in da big apple.

[@publicopinionnyc]

Interesting idea!

[@patrickboyle1062]

"ON" Long Island

[@netdoom]

New generation of safe, modern nuclear reactors are the future.

[@publicopinionnyc]

Definitely part of it!

[@spaghetti-friends]

Fucking class

[@johnjones3813]

When Republicans talk about American society being about rugid individualism. We're all interdependent, folks.

[@tetra3ne56scur3]

@publicopinionnyc I’m also from New York I just subscribed

[@NewBooksNetworkBookoftheDay]

Great video!
