    Useful information, but I think that the indirect category is much broader than simply having windows in buildings (or even limiting it to buildings, per se). For example, for centuries, humanity has be harvesting salt from the sea in salt pans which use sunlight driven evaporation to separate the salt from seawater. Similarly, in hot climates it has been well known that pumping water and having fountains in/near buildings can enable evaporative cooling. More recently, much of our lithium is harvested by pumping brine into evaporative tanks to concentrate the material. I am sure that there are other examples of the long standing (and new) indirect uses for sunlight.

    The cause of global warming is not know 2024. Global warming if it were to get to 1.5°C would be expected to change the climate by creating stronger hurricanes in the Golf of Mexico. There are no global changes in climate in 2024. The Arctic region is getting warmer. It is scientifically impossible for greenhouse gas behavior to cause global warming. All the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth is completely absorbed in earth's greenhouse effect by greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the radiating surface that is always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor. This video has the United Nations Climate Change disclaimer. Global warming was officially stated at 1.1°C in 1991 and 1.06°C in 2022. Global warming has been stalled at about 1°C since 1992. The back of the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) science report states it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude where it is common high school level knowledge there is no greenhouse radiant energy. This is typical practice for deceptive marketing to state legal data transparency protecting the perpetrators from fraud prosecution. The IPCC has been transparent with its data acknowledging it is not dealing with active greenhouse gases. Earth's greenhouse effect is frequently used as a primary example to high school students of a system always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor absorbing all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth with greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the radiating surface that is all around us everyday and can't have its overall effect changed. There is no further greenhouse radiant energy to interact with greenhouse gases. At 1% average tropospheric water vapor over 99% of earth’s greenhouse effect is from water vapor. Water vapor would hold earth's greenhouse effect in saturation if it were the only greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The overall average temperature gain to the earth from the earth’s greenhouse effect is 5.55°C (10°F). Arctic warming is taking place with the proving mechanism being warm Atlantic Ocean waters migrating deeper and more frequently into the Arctic Ocean warming it and the region. That warmer water is causing a few weeks less of reflective snow and ice coverage resulting in more solar heat gain to the Arctic region surface. Atmospheric CO2 levels of 1200 ppm about three times what they are today would greatly invigorate C3 plants the majority of plant life on earth greatly greening the planet. 0.4% of the atmosphere is CO2 and on average 1% is H20 water vapor. (1% H20)/(0.4% CO2) = 25. Water vapor is 25 times more present in the atmosphere on average than CO2. Water vapor has an CO2e of 18, 18 X 25 = 450 CO2e total for water vapor to 1 CO2e for CO2. The Earth’s oceans have 3-1/2 million sea floor volcanic vents warming the water and changing it’s chemistry that have not been systematically accounted for.

    There has been some talk recently about regenerative grid theory, that is to say, using surplus grid streams to power battery fill or make hydrogen.

    Technology may have advanced enough to release civilization from the confines of the second law of thermodynamics. These confines were imposed during Victorian England's scientific and religious cultural fascination with steam engines. The second law is behind modern refgeration needing electrical energy to compress the refrigerent to force it to release as waste the heat that it has removed from the refrigerator's service interior in the cooling part of the refrigerent's circulation. There is also discarded heat from mechanical friction and electrical resistance. The total released and discarded heat minus the removed heat equal the electrical input but the attached conversion of electricity into heat is forced. Refrigeration by the principle that energy is conserved should produce electricity instead of consuming it. It makes more sense that refrigerators should yield electricity because energy is widely known to change form with no ultimate path of energy gain or loss being found. Therefore any form of fully recyclable energy can be cycled endlessly in any quantity. In an extreme case senario, full heat recycling, all electric, very isolated underground, undersea, or space communities would be highly survivable with self sufficient EMP resistant LED light banks, automated vertical farms, thaw resistant frozen food storehouses, factories, dwellings, and self contained elevators and horizontal transports. In a flourishing civillization senario, small self sufficient electric or cooling devices of many kinds and styles like lamps, smartphones, hotplates, water heaters, cooler chests, fans, radios, TVs, cameras, security devices, robot test equipment, scales, transaction terminals, wall clocks, open or ciosed for business luminus signs, power hand tools, ditch diggers, pumps, and personal transports, would be available for immediate use incrementally anywhere as people see fit. Some equipment groups could be consolidated on local networks. If a high majority thinks our civilization should geoengineer gigatons or teratons of carbon dioxide out of our environment, instalations using devices that convert ambient heat into electricity can hypothetically be scaled up do it with a choice of comsequences including many beneficial ones. Energy sensible refrigerators that absorb heat and yield electricity would complement computers as computing consumes electricity and yields heat. Computing would be free. Chips could have energy recycling built in. A simple rectifier crystal can, iust short of a replicatable long term demonstration of a powerful prototype, almost certainly filter the random thermal motioren of electrons or discrete positiive charged voids called holes so the electric current flowing in one direction predominates. At low system voltage a filtrate of one polarity predominates only a little but there is always usable electrical power derived from the source, which is Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise. This net electrical filtrate can be aggregated in a group of separate diodes in consistent alignment parallel creating widely scalable electrical power. The maximum energy is converted from ambient heat to productive electricity when the electrical load is matched to the array impeadence. Matched impeadence output (watts) is k (Boltźman's constant), one point three eight x 10^ minus 23, times T (temperature Kelvin) times bandwidth (0 Hz to a natural limit ~2 THz @ 290 K) times rectification halving and nanowatt power level rectification efficiency, times the number of diodes in the array. For reference, there are a billion cells of 1000 square nanometer area each per square millimeter, 100 billion per square centimeter. Order is imposed on the random thermal motion of electrons by the structual orderlyness of a diode array made of diodes made within a slab: ______________________ - Out 🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻 ______________________ + Out All the P type semiconductor anodes abut a metal conductive plane deposited on the top face of the slab with nonrectifying joins; all the N type semiconductor cathodes abut the bottom face. As the polarity filtered electrical energy is exported, the amount of thermal energy in the group of diodes decreases. This group cooling will draw heat in from the surrounding ambient heat at a rate depending on the filtering rate and thermal resistance between the group and ambient gas, liquid, or solid warmer than absolute zero. There is a lot of ambient heat on our planet, more in equatorial dry desert summer days and less in polar desert winter nights. Focusing on explaining the electronic behavior of one composition of simple diode, a near flawless crystal of silicon is modified by implanting a small amount of phosphorus (N type)on one side from a ohmic contact end to a junction where the additive is suddenly and completely changed to boron (P type) with minimal disturbance of the crystal lattice. The crystal then continues to another ohmic contact. A region of high electrical resistance forms at the junction in this type of diode when the phosphorous near the ĵunction donates electrons that are free to move elsewhere while leaving phosphorus ions held in the crystal while the boron donates holes which are similalarly free to move. The two types of mobile charges mutually clear each other away near the junction leaving little electrical conductivity. An equlibrium width of this region is settled between the phosphorus, boron, electrons, and holes. Thermal noise is beyond steady state equlibrium. Thermal noise transients, where mobile electrons move from the phosphorus added side to the boron added side ride transient extra conductivity so the forward moving electrons are preferentally filtered into the external circuit. Mobile electrons are units of electric current. They lose their thermal energy of motion and gain electromotive force, another name for voltage, as they transition between the junction and the array electrical tap. Inside the diode, heat is absorbed: outside the diode, to exactly the same extent, an attached electrical circuit is energized. The voltage of a diode array is likely to be small so many similar arrays need to be put in series to build higher voltage. Understanding diodes is one way to become convinced that Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise can be rectified and aggregated. Self assembling development teams may find many ways to accomplish this wide mission. Taxonomically there should be many ways ways to convert heat directly into electricity. A practical device may use an array of Au needles in a SiO2 matrix abutting N type GaAs. These were made in the 1970s when registration technology was poor so it was easier to fabricate arrays and select one diode than just make one diode. There are other plausible breeches of the second law of thermodynamics. Hopefully a lot of people will join in expanding the breech. Please share the successes or setbacks of your efforts. These devices would probably become segmented commodities sold with minimal margin over supply cost. They would be manufactured by advanced automation that does not need financial incentive. Applicable best practices would be adopted. Business details would be open public knowledge. Associated people should move as negotiated and freely and honestly talk. Commerce would be a planetary scale unified conglomerate of diverse local cooperatives. There is no need of wealth extracting top commanders. We do not need often token philanthropy from the top if the wide majority of people can afford to be generous. Aloha Charles M Brown Kilauea Kauai Hawaii 967543

    thank you, economy will rise by using jet plasma machine and compressed gas in isolated structure in water pool with more than 80 % efficiency , it transfers gas temperature from engine to water, New energy from sea will change world soon, there are other source of energy that with international cooperation in coastline we can reduce effect of global warming, sea is huge source of energy, further more we can prevent these phenomena like cyclone and flood and wildfire by using this hot seasonal atmospheric condition, recent years in summer, geothermal energy happens in surface of coastline, there are many countries in coastline with seasonal hot weather and water condition in comparison with middle Ocean more than 12 degrees , in sum-up, by using this energy not only is economical but also reduce global warming in countries like Japan, China, India, Mediterranean countries, Iran, Brazil, Mexico, Us, Canada, (Africa and Arabian countries....) . I invented new method base on air pressure rules and quantum physics ionization sea water minerals in strong dynamic magnet bases on paramagnetic and diamagnetic particles and electrical field and electric chemical reactions (K+, Mg++, Na+, H+, H++, li+, H2, ...) +( O2, N2, ...) into up level by vacuum pump from storage into combustion chambers as major part of fuel (more than 50%) for producing electricity and fresh water and fertilizer. this machine produces 150Megwatt-hour/hour and 20000M3/DAY and fertilizer. 7 methods zero pollution for reducing global warming I mentioned in my profile.

    A cost perspective is that wind and solar electricity generation is infinitely expensive because an infinite amount of money could be spent on them and they could still not guarantee grid quality electricity at a contracted time and amount. The produce wild AC not grid quality electricity. California lacks coal and has to import 90% of its natural gas which makes these non locally mined fuels not desirable to the state government wanting its energy production to be from local sources. The California government has made outrageous non scientific statements going against well known science that greenhouse gases are causing global warming when a careful reading of the United Nations IPCC science report reveals that report does not outright state greenhouse gases are causing global warming, but it does states it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude where there is no greenhouse radiant energy acknowledging it is not dealing with active greenhouse gases. The authors were not going to incriminate themselves when providing politicians with litigation propaganda. There is likely a circulatory system taking place where California politicians in the 1980s didn't want to use more out of state fuels for electric power so it developed litigation against them discovering the greenhouse gases they produce might be used to litigate against them and pushed that interest to other political bodies such the United Nations then used the United Nation's propaganda it had helped foster. Global warming has been stalled at about 1°C since 1992 with there being no known cause for global warming in 2024. Wind and solar voltaic electricity generation produces wild AC that is not power grid quality. A kW electricity generation can disappear unpredictably in a few seconds. That makes them independently worthless for grid power electricity. They have to be used to charge storage or work with other sources of high reediness electric power to provide useful grid electric power. If working with natural gas turbine generators which is typical, those are running at high availability service idle burning 70% of the fuel of full output, but producing nearly zero electricity. California is not saving all that much natural gas by forcing the power grid to buy wild AC at retail prices from residential solar voltaic production. It has resulted in Southern California having the most expensive electricity in the USA, with San Diego being even more expensive than Hawaii, with bankrupt unreliable power grids. Wind and solar generated electricity provide zero additional grid contractable dispatchable electricity. It is nearly always desirable to have instant battery backup power or something similar. In order to have forced buys of electricity to the public power grid it should have to be at grid quality typically meaning it would have to be from battery storage.

    Use the regenerative grid concept to increase profitability, along with reliability and resilience. Apply the considerable surplus streams, which extend up to twice actual annual use to fill salt batteries or thermal sand batteries, while also generating hydrogen. Easy money. Within the regenerative grid concept; curtailment, congestion, and ramping costs are suppressed or even eliminated.

The back of the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) science report states it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude where it is common high school level knowledge there is no greenhouse radiant energy. This is typical practice for deceptive marketing to state legal data transparency protecting the perpetrators from fraud prosecution. The IPCC has been transparent with its data acknowledging it is not dealing with active greenhouse gases. Earth's greenhouse effect is frequently used as a primary example to high school students of a system always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor absorbing all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth with greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the radiating surface that is all around us everyday and can't have its overall effect changed. There is no further greenhouse radiant energy to interact with greenhouse gases. At 1% average tropospheric water vapor over 99% of earth’s greenhouse effect is from water vapor. Water vapor would hold earth's greenhouse effect in saturation if it were the only greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. The overall average temperature gain to the earth from the earth’s greenhouse effect is 5.55°C (10°F). Arctic warming is taking place with the proving mechanism being warm Atlantic Ocean waters migrating deeper and more frequently into the Arctic Ocean warming it and the region. That warmer water is causing a few weeks less of reflective snow and ice coverage resulting in more solar heat gain to the Arctic region surface. Atmospheric CO2 levels of 1200 ppm about three times what they are today would greatly invigorate C3 plants the majority of plant life on earth greatly greening the planet. 0.4% of the atmosphere is CO2 and on average 1% is H20 water vapor. (1% H20)/(0.4% CO2) = 25. Water vapor is 25 times more present in the atmosphere on average than CO2. Water vapor has an CO2e of 18, 18 X 25 = 450 CO2e total for water vapor to 1 CO2e for CO2. The Earth’s oceans have 3-1/2 million sea floor volcanic vents warming the water and changing it’s chemistry that have not been systematically accounted for.

    When I went through a NABCEP class in 2009, a representative from Niagara Mohawk spoke to us. They told us Federal Law was requiring them to engage Solar Energy and connect. She said Solar is their enemy, because it competes with them. A few years later, Pacific Gas and Electric was prosecuted for doing everything they could to stop Solar proliferation.

    Verity informative talk! I’m a California home and business owner, and as a long suffering customer of our state’s price gouging electric utility cartels. We desperately need home and small business-scale battery storage that is actually affordable! Battery prices for cars and for utility-scale storage is dropping like a stone. But home storage batteries still cost over $1,000 per kWh installed? Why is that?

    Northern Colorado is a sacrifice zone for “Green” solar. Goodbye habitat for pronghorn, eagles, hawks, foxes and myriad animals. “Scrub” can be scraped to power cities in the desert, electric cars and AI. This environmental disaster courtesy of the Democrat governor sacrificing public lands.

    Use massless forms of energy inputs. Electricity has no mass. So, by using massless forms of inputs, the highest degrees of energy efficacy can be achieved. Hydrogen is also a very useful option for using surplus grid streams.

    Thanks' for the information about coal. At present rates renewables will soon close down all coal plants. What interests me is the decentralization of an old highly centralized electric power grid system. A future power grid will become bidirectional. Electrical generation will be a system wide distributed generation with a third of the generation coming from the prosumer level. Regulation of the power grid will be controlled by battery nodes. EV batteries will provide major balancing storage. My hope is that advanced geothermal generation will provide needed base load.

    2:50 "natural gas is still a very potent greenhouse gas" well not really. In the the atmospheric mix water vapor is the only greenhouse gas that maters. Earth's greenhouse effect is always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor absorbing all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth within 20 meters of the radiating surface. This has to be a free course with a disclaimer that it makes no educational pretenses. If I was having to pay for my child to take this course and take in this foolish nonsense I'd demand a refund and an apology. If the administration didn't quickly and gracefully resolve the matter I'd take them to court for a form of malpractice and misrepresenting themselves as an institution of higher learning. At that level, suffering, lost time and lost wages would be part of the settlement along with legal fees. There is no excuse for this foolish behavior. This is high school level science their staff fails in causing them to talk foolishness where sending people to college is to become educated and not foolish. Power grids across the US when wind turbines generators are having to have some of their costs taken on by rate payers have created higher electric rates. Texas has natural gas and wind. It doesn't have high quality coal. Offshore wind turbine generators are more than twice the expense of onshore wind turbines. Wind turbines generators provide no increase in power grid dispatchable capacity. They produce what is called wild AC that has to be conditioned to be power grid quality typically with natural gas turbines running at high service idle for high availability. At high service idle a gas turbine is using 70% of the fuel it uses at 100% power output, but is producing nearly no electricity. What is valuable is how much of other fuels wind and solar generated electricity is saving. Except in the case of hydro power they don't save on other energy sources all that well for the stated amount of electricity they produce that are forced buys on to the public power grid. This is misrepresented all too often. California lacks high quality coal and has to import 90% of its natural gas. It's therefore no surprise the government does't see a state benefit from using these fuels.

    Why have a class on prospecting for oil; with a few exceptions, most of the major onshore oil fields/offshore (<1000) in the world were found between 1926 and 1979. You don’t miss a major oil field, they are huge (Ghawar is 170mi by 20mi). Exceptions: 1998 onshore Shaybah The Empty Quarter- Saudi Arabia; 1979 offshore Ku-Maloob-Zaap- Mexico; 2009 onshore Shaikan and Sheikh Adi -Kurdish Iraq; and, the master of disaster, the poster child for the proof of peak oil, 2000 offshore (shallow) Kashagan- Kazakhstan. There has not been a significant conventional oil field (500 Mbbls) found in the U.S. FOREVER! Fun fact about the size of an oil field: Conventional Oil fields are huge because they tend to reside in an “oil window” that is relatively flat. You don’t miss a major oil field! As mentioned above, Ghawar is 170 mi x 20 mi, it’s twice the size of Rhode Island! And Prudhoe Bay is 9 billion sq/ft.

    Greenhouse gas behavior is impossible to cause global warming from known science. All the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth is completely absorbed by greenhouse gases in earth's greenhouse effect within 20 meters of the radiating surface with the strong greenhouse gas water vapor always holding earth's greenhouse effect in saturation. This is high school science. Global warming has been stalled about 1°C since 1992 with no known cause.

    Please don't push the "net exporter" narrative. It shows and incredible lack of understanding about the makeup of the oil that is coming out of the ground from fracking. We still import 6 Mbbls of crude daily. Yes, we export some oil because of type : to lite for our refineries or location, inefiencent distillates and NGL's

      Thank you for your comment! I didn't think the US had gotten to be self sustaining on crude oil. The US Googles at 20.6 million barrels of crude oil used a day 2024-08-19. With Canadian crude oil the US is getting secure on crude oil, but it is still dependent on crude oil tankers from sketchy countries. There is still a good distance to go for the US to be self sustainable on crude oil even if Canada crude oil is included as a secure source of crude oil which is a lot of crude oil. To say the US is net exporter of crude oil comes out of nowhere.

    RWE will put in a Colorado solar project in a public land wild habitat - pronghorn, eagles, hawks and a plethora of small creatures will be driven out - so that they can sell electricity to air condition the desert. This is supported by the Democrat governor as "GREEN" energy. You're all nuts.
