The Biggest Lie About Renewable Energy

Nuclear is the strange kid, he isn't green, he is yellow, he isn't renewable, unless he's a breeder reactor, he isn't very popular unless he is fusion, but still, he is the strongest in our arsenal against Climate Change.

Why wasn't nuclear elaborated on as much? I feel like it has the most potential

I liked the fact about the 480 exajoules of energy from the sun --one hundredth of that means covering the total land mass of China and India in solar farms

Thank you two gentlemen for demonstrating the Dunning-Kruger effect.

If everyone died, imagine the savings.

Why not mention France who is >70% nuclear power????

If you’re gonna talk about the lies… you have to talk about the truths.

Fast forward to November 2022. How things change! You skipped through “ when the wind does not blow and the sun doesn’t shine.

The biggest lie is to not talk about nuclear fusion/fission being more effective than coal while being greener than solar/wind/hydro.

1:52 Mitch: “Everything changed.” My Brain: When the fire nation attacked.

This sure didn't age very well.

I live in the Antelope Valley, which is a high desert area in Southern California. I want to preface this by noting that I am for solar and have a solar system that powers my home. With that being said, the solar farms that have sprouted around the high desert are astounding in both good and bad ways. It's great that they can generate so much electricity, but they devastate the local ecosystem. From the front of my house, I can see the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. During late March and early August, those foothills would turn a beautiful orange, as the wild poppies would bloom. Now, It's a sea of black solar panels. A large portion of the wild life that used to live there is gone. People think "Oh it's a desert. Nothing lives there" but that is totally wrong. There is a large variety of wildlife, from coyotes, deer, bobcats & desert tortoises to a large variety of ground squirrels, quail, burrowing owls and hundreds of cold blooded species. The majority of these creatures are displaced with these large, fenced off solar farms that can cover hundreds of acres. The same goes for the wind farms that, while not as bad, still devastate the local ecosystem with all the access roads, buildings and cement pads that are needed for the thousands of wind turbines that dot the Tehachapi Pass. We really need to focus on modern Nuclear power plants.

"70% taxes on the super-rich" - well, I'm sold. One small question, though: which of the millionaires should I vote for to make this happen?

This video: Germany's power grid is shifting to renewable energy. Germany in real life: Imports 50% of it's energy as nuclear energy from France and coal energy from Poland.

Interesting to see how fast this gas become old and untrue

A science teacher at my old high school is teaching kids that nuclear power is dangerous and not worth it. Sad.

As a non-americian, I have never heard of these "big" lies.

I'm an engineer who operates the power grid. What I can say is this video is worth a junior year college presentation in engineering school. Thousands of engineers in transmission system operators aren't just sleeping in their job & they know the grid won't be 60% more efficient just by using IOT. Do these really guys think the current generators aren't communication with each other?

For my Senior Project in high school, I researched wind power and wanted to look into its viability for energy source. I concluded, at the end of my research, that it'd be a supplemental power source at best.

Why did the Impossible mission force write an article about that?
