The Big Misconception About Clean Energy

Sorry, it's a pretty ignorant video. I'm sure you never had a look at an IPCC report that models Population, Economic, Energy Consumption and Clean Energy supply trajectories, or maybe even the European Green Deal for example.

In short, there's NO possible way to generate enough clean energy that can compensate for the existing level of energy consumption before 2100, and by then it would be way too late to adhere to the 1.5 degrees consensus of Paris Agreement. Any scenario is a mix of Energy Conservation, and a gradual phase out of Fossil Fuel, and a hope that Clean Energy can grow to compensate the shortage. 

And if you know anything about any source of renewable energy, you would know that the mere installation of these sources and the required infrastructure is actually GHG intensive. Solar and Wind for instance need massive Battery clusters since they need storage of reserve energy to manage their inconsistent output, and battery clusters are GHG intensive and will test the earth's theoritical reserve of rare-earth elements. That's to say that if the world miraculously embarked upon massive projects to build renewable energy infrastructure sufficient to sustain our current level of energy consumption, we will kill the planet with GHG alone in the process. 

Energy conservation is a MUST!
