The Big Misconception About Clean Energy

great video. we need to think how to expand not contract especially if we want to all drive EV's (spoiler we need about 400% increase in grid capacity for that). hydrogen fuel is expensive to make. france worked out that they would need 200 new powerstations to replace all fossil fuels. carbon neutral fuels might be a better way to go. here in vietnam solar is great - we have solar hot water & solar PV really cuts down energy grid usage for the AC in the daytime when its needed most. 

as far as the energy generation side goes... im most hyped about molten salt nuclear reactors especially as they can use previous nuclear waste as feedstock (solve the waste problem and make energy, whats not to love?). you can use process heat to make hydrogen or carbon neutral fuels as well as electricity. Im also excited about geo thermal. students at icelands university drilled 2 x 50cm holes to the molten stuff below & generated 20 megawatts of electricity 24/7. next gen drilling tech will make that possible anywhere. 

with unlimited energy we could also recycle so much more instead of putting into landfill because of cost reasons. on the whole, over the decades - energy usage has only gone in 1 direction - up!! charts that show otherwise are fiddled. its only consumer energy reported etc. for scale 1 big cargo ship uses the same energy as a small town of 60,000 with the same sulphur pollution of 200,000 cars.
