Eye opener, grt information to general people, most of Indian don’t know about this pollution problem , must be collective efforts from all to fight this problem
Not having a car or an air conditioner is not the same as being poor. There is a huge ecological impact to buying a car and using an air conditioner. Instead of telling your audience that "developed style of living means polluting the atmosphere with cars and air conditioners" you should tell your audience how living simply is more environmentally friendly. The measure of a civilization's success is not by how much comfort and convenience they amass, but by how peacefully they can co-exist with their surrounding environment. In that aspect, I must say the western civilizations have failed miserably and are only slowly realizing their mistakes. Bharat has always had traditions that promoted harmony between people and the environment.
1) Here's a crazy statistics for you: if everyone on earth lives like an average American, it would require 5 earths to sustain that lifestyle, whereas only 0.7 earths are needed if everyone lives like an Indian. 2) india emitted one fifth of carbon US emitted, in 2018, despite having four times population. 3) india is number one in achieving emission goals of Paris accord, in fact over-achiving her goals. US did not achieve her goals, as expected. 4) Modi announced in 2015 that India's total Solar capacity will be 100GW by 2022 when India's capacity was meagre 2.5 GW. As of 2020, our capacity is 38 GW and it looks like your unlike Mr Late and Obvious in this video, we might achieve it on schedule.

Hopefully there will be a race to be the first country / area to be totally green. EU and China are already in the locker room getting ready for a race but we need more than that! India and Africa have great benefit on not having "bad" energy so much yet but EU, the US have the money. China somewhere in between. Let the race begin!
I personally think that if we are planning for the 2050s and 80s we should include public transport far more than cars. Urban people prefer smooth and efficient public transportation rather than personal vehicles.It's what India is focusing on but should do so on an even larger scale.It'll easier to plan and execute it over the decades now,than later.
I did not like many thing about this video. Amongst the thing that stand out, the key ones are 1. He dismissed the Nuclear and Hydro power. I understand he is trying to sell his company that is into wind and solar, but to so say decrying India th at it cannot handle large projects is simply not acceptable. There are plenty negative about nuclear and hydro to talk about for someone who has shallow understanding without talking down India without basis. 2. When it came to showing things about India, used one of the worst images to show poverty. Like the photo of building with air conditioners. There are plenty of good looking building that have air conditioners without showing the worst possible building possible. Trying to talk to international audiences by selling a negative image is not acceptable. The future of power is a high population density country is nuclear specially LFTR using Thorium. Wind and solar are too expensive on using land mass (waste land like desserts are not good location for solar), too fickle and season dependent and current Lithium based battery technology is too polluting (and too dependent on China)
@@chapter4travels The one use I see for solar and wind are small solutions for people in remote, often poor, areas. And I'm not saying having large scale wind or solar; it would be more like small turbines and personal solar.
80% of what Varun Sivaram spoke of was the vision of educators and planers in India half a century ago, I can testify. What came of it - virtually nothing. It is all talk - a pie in the sky. Varun does not know any of this. My heart goes out for him. I know he will become disillusioned and frustrated.
A lot of marketing speak from someone who has not lived much in India and does not know how it works. Still speaking in terms of "football fields" for length shows how he thinks. A lot of this is what many Indians dream about already but have no real way to achieve because people are selfish and cannot think for the greater good. We now have as many people in India as there were in the whole world not long time ago. Do you think we can just keep producing humans and resources will magically appear? Neither can we expect technology to solve all the problems caused due to overpopulation. No matter how efficiently you cut an apple, it is just 1 apple.
Solar duck curve is a big challenge, really big. Unless power storage technology becomes energy efficient & simultaneously economically viable, absolute transformation of India's energy sector seems like a distant dream.
I saw a Ted talk about an year old, stating that the amount of money and area required is alot higher for solar energy than nuclear energy for the same amount of power generated.
@@SurajNayak007 Exactly! Even SimCity like urban planning games prove so! As proclaimed by the Hon'ble Power Minister lately, 60% of our installed capacity will be from renewables by 2030 & that is 450 GW. India has already started retiring old & inefficient fossil fuelled power generating assets. But we are hungry for power (I mean electric power). Question is, when having hunger pangs but limitedly moneyed, should we go to a Michelin starred restaurant where they serve French nouvelle cuisine or visit a dhaba for a hearty meal?
I don't buy the argument that nuclear/hydropower aren't feasible due to India's lacking state capacity. As our economy grows, capabilities also grow. We need to invest in nuclear along with renewables.
India needs to look at making small towns self sufficient in its use and create employment and industries near by. Small towns are more sustainable and still can adopt. A big city consumes billions of tonnes of steel cement and infrastructure which also makes the cities hotter. Example of mid size cities are Neemrana close to freight corridor, Vijay Nagar close to HZL mining project. One industry powers a small city. Also it cost less on infrastructure for govt and taxes and less congestion, travel time.
What a most misleading video. Absolutely no talk of how much solar and wind capacity has been added in the last 6 years. We are almost there to reach the target of 100GW of renewable by 2022. No mention of that. We are already electrifying our railways faster than ever. No mention of that. We are already taking steps to increase rail freight and promote EVs. No mention of that.

6:40 It'd be much more energy efficient to transfert the electricity produced from renewable sources directly to those energy intensive processes rather than go through the massive waste from water electrolysis alone, not including all other costs when producing hydrogen this way.
Electricity-based heating elements cannot get to the temperatures needed for many industrial processes. Even if electrolysing hydrogen is only 40% efficient, hydrogen is one of the (if not the most) energy-dense media, so it works out on balance.
@@tstcikhthys Up until 100 % of the energy produced on this planet is through renewable sources, every single watt of energy spent in the huge waste that is producing and transporting hydrogen, this is by definition wasted energy that could have substituted energy from fossil source. Hydrolysis inherently comes with a huge energetic loss.
Decentralised energy production is an area of research all over the world to achieve grid independence. However, it is not possible everywhere. So looking at the overall picture, there will be applications where generation elsewhere combined with green H2 supply does make sense.

How many acres (or hectares) and how many wind turbines will it take to have all India with "clean and green" energy? I keep asking that question here in America (specifically in Massachusetts) and I get no replies. Until I get replies - I'll have to conclude this hasn't been thoroughly thought out.

"it will be more than enough to power the entirety of America" but did you think about how they'd store/transport that energy? Just producing alot of solar/wind energy won't help you it'd just be a waste if you can't transport that. And so you know how solar farms can affect the ecological balance of the location they're built at?
India has plenty of scarcely populated arid wastelands where nothing else can be done. These areas are perfect for solar power generation. Storage and transportation continue to be issues but with the right ecosystem supported by sector coupling these challenges can be addressed.
It's very funny/sad how young "entrepreneurs" like this can make educated projections about "disaster" in 2050 on a local level, yet not understand how climate change will make that disaster come even if he would succeed in transforming India's energy use. Especially since he looks forward to quadrupling India's energy use in 30 years' time. It's all myopically small thinking, while imagining that it's great and innovative.

Without major big-game control, direction, and leadership, which would include mandates and legal control, with clean energy, what level of coverage can be achieved? Would the old style energies just stop? Would they need to be legally forced to stop? How many old-style energy companies are wanting and working on a real transition to clean energies?
What about thorium? I've heard few years ago that India had a plan for building several thorium centrals which was in turn also a very revolutionary decision... Have the uranium guys scored another goal agains thorium deviating India's revolutionary plan?
Government is putting more funds into wind and solar rather than nuclear energy. As building those are cheaper.
Kalpakkam PFBR is under construction in Tamil Nadu. It is the 2nd stage of 3 stage process of generating electricity from Thorium.
@@abhishektarun09 thanka for info sir. Tamil Nadu is really progressing on all frontiers !! Leading in Solar. I'm from Gujarat, and I visited Kutch wind farm, it's a majestic site ;)
Thank you!
India needs a blend of all sources of energy. We need to focus more on nuclear energy with fusion plants and use our Thorium rich reserves. Wind and solar will be 30% of our energy needs.
Dont worry. Our Insanely Increasing Fossil Fuel prices will push people towards renewable energy in the end.
Superbly spoken.
Eye opener, grt information to general people, most of Indian don’t know about this pollution problem , must be collective efforts from all to fight this problem

Even my small town of Osmanabad in Maharashtra state has many wind power plants built by his company Renew Power.
Not having a car or an air conditioner is not the same as being poor. There is a huge ecological impact to buying a car and using an air conditioner. Instead of telling your audience that "developed style of living means polluting the atmosphere with cars and air conditioners" you should tell your audience how living simply is more environmentally friendly. The measure of a civilization's success is not by how much comfort and convenience they amass, but by how peacefully they can co-exist with their surrounding environment. In that aspect, I must say the western civilizations have failed miserably and are only slowly realizing their mistakes. Bharat has always had traditions that promoted harmony between people and the environment.
I am from Korba, Chhattisgarh. Didn't really know he would talk about it
1) Here's a crazy statistics for you: if everyone on earth lives like an average American, it would require 5 earths to sustain that lifestyle, whereas only 0.7 earths are needed if everyone lives like an Indian.
2) india emitted one fifth of carbon US emitted, in 2018, despite having four times population.
3) india is number one in achieving emission goals of Paris accord, in fact over-achiving her goals. US did not achieve her goals, as expected.
4) Modi announced in 2015 that India's total Solar capacity will be 100GW by 2022 when India's capacity was meagre 2.5 GW. As of 2020, our capacity is 38 GW and it looks like your unlike Mr Late and Obvious in this video, we might achieve it on schedule.

India must need to invest in Geothermal energy.
Edit: why not people like him run for election ? 🤷 He have such a good plan.
Geothermal is very limited india dosent have a lot of places which could give geothermal unlike country like Iceland
@@theunbeatable1755 with new drilling technology , geothermal is possible, India needs to find the places where crust is less than10 km. Although it'll increase cost but it's safe , cheap , renewable and no cost to generate electricity.
I know its hard but we must have to invest in such program , in its development.
@@worthit5064 for that we need to find volcanic active places which are very less in india and the thing u told is very expensive and not possible due to cost if we do it in large numbers.
@@worthit5064 we should rather develop and built thorium reactor
@@theunbeatable1755 not only volcano but coast will do the work too. Around coast crust is thin and major cities around coast in India.
Also , more we build more cost efficient it will get , its basic nature of mass production.
Other than that , nuclear power is good but its not safe as much geothermal.
Major companies in US developing in geothermal because it is the future.

First you correct our map......
i hope many people in our country watch this video and become aware of the problems we will be facing in the near future and their optimum solutions
This is a very interesting project
Infomerical.
Hopefully there will be a race to be the first country / area to be totally green. EU and China are already in the locker room getting ready for a race but we need more than that! India and Africa have great benefit on not having "bad" energy so much yet but EU, the US have the money. China somewhere in between. Let the race begin!
I personally think that if we are planning for the 2050s and 80s we should include public transport far more than cars.
Urban people prefer smooth and efficient public transportation rather than personal vehicles.It's what India is focusing on but should do so on an even larger scale.It'll easier to plan and execute it over the decades now,than later.
I did not like many thing about this video. Amongst the thing that stand out, the key ones are
1. He dismissed the Nuclear and Hydro power. I understand he is trying to sell his company that is into wind and solar, but to so say decrying India th at it cannot handle large projects is simply not acceptable. There are plenty negative about nuclear and hydro to talk about for someone who has shallow understanding without talking down India without basis.
2. When it came to showing things about India, used one of the worst images to show poverty. Like the photo of building with air conditioners. There are plenty of good looking building that have air conditioners without showing the worst possible building possible. Trying to talk to international audiences by selling a negative image is not acceptable.
The future of power is a high population density country is nuclear specially LFTR using Thorium. Wind and solar are too expensive on using land mass (waste land like desserts are not good location for solar), too fickle and season dependent and current Lithium based battery technology is too polluting (and too dependent on China)
They excluded J&K and Leh-Ladakh from India's map. Watch closely.
Solar, Wind, some tidal and Nuclear.
Once you build out nuclear, what is the point of the others? Solar, wind, and tidal are only good for PR and virtue signaling.
@@chapter4travels I agree, I'm just saying that people are still going to build these; therefore, they will exist.
@@MarinelliBrosPodcast Yes, rich countries will waste money on these for PR and virtue signaling.
@@chapter4travels The one use I see for solar and wind are small solutions for people in remote, often poor, areas. And I'm not saying having large scale wind or solar; it would be more like small turbines and personal solar.
@@chapter4travels BTW, what does PR stand for?
Brilliant! Good Luck!
Thorium reactor in India is going to be a reality very soon. It is only a measly 30 years away. Only a few more 30 years and voila, it is there.
vey nice explaination
take a drink every time he says "India"
The only way to bear with this stupid child rant 😂😂
80% of what Varun Sivaram spoke of was the vision of educators and planers in India half a century ago, I can testify. What came of it - virtually nothing. It is all talk - a pie in the sky. Varun does not know any of this. My heart goes out for him. I know he will become disillusioned and frustrated.
Scoots and Ricks will be abandoned like yesterday's newspaper in a truly prosperous India. How about a Tata - Tesla merger.
I had thought of an elongated rickshaw that could take six adults in one go.
Let’s get to work !
A lot of marketing speak from someone who has not lived much in India and does not know how it works. Still speaking in terms of "football fields" for length shows how he thinks. A lot of this is what many Indians dream about already but have no real way to achieve because people are selfish and cannot think for the greater good. We now have as many people in India as there were in the whole world not long time ago. Do you think we can just keep producing humans and resources will magically appear? Neither can we expect technology to solve all the problems caused due to overpopulation. No matter how efficiently you cut an apple, it is just 1 apple.
Solar duck curve is a big challenge, really big. Unless power storage technology becomes energy efficient & simultaneously economically viable, absolute transformation of India's energy sector seems like a distant dream.
I saw a Ted talk about an year old, stating that the amount of money and area required is alot higher for solar energy than nuclear energy for the same amount of power generated.
@@SurajNayak007 Exactly! Even SimCity like urban planning games prove so! As proclaimed by the Hon'ble Power Minister lately, 60% of our installed capacity will be from renewables by 2030 & that is 450 GW. India has already started retiring old & inefficient fossil fuelled power generating assets. But we are hungry for power (I mean electric power).
Question is, when having hunger pangs but limitedly moneyed, should we go to a Michelin starred restaurant where they serve French nouvelle cuisine or visit a dhaba for a hearty meal?
Tesla is the Answer
I don't buy the argument that nuclear/hydropower aren't feasible due to India's lacking state capacity. As our economy grows, capabilities also grow. We need to invest in nuclear along with renewables.
India needs to look at making small towns self sufficient in its use and create employment and industries near by. Small towns are more sustainable and still can adopt. A big city consumes billions of tonnes of steel cement and infrastructure which also makes the cities hotter. Example of mid size cities are Neemrana close to freight corridor, Vijay Nagar close to HZL mining project. One industry powers a small city. Also it cost less on infrastructure for govt and taxes and less congestion, travel time.
Liquid Air/Cryogenic Storage is scalable and are a feasible alternative to battery storage.
India needs to replace coal with nuclear and hydo for base load. On other hand solar and wind can providr the additional load required.
What a most misleading video. Absolutely no talk of how much solar and wind capacity has been added in the last 6 years. We are almost there to reach the target of 100GW of renewable by 2022. No mention of that. We are already electrifying our railways faster than ever. No mention of that. We are already taking steps to increase rail freight and promote EVs. No mention of that.
It's not time yet to be happy for how far we have come, alot has been done but there's alot more left to be done as well
map of India shown in the video is incorrect.
A classic example of trying to fit Indian lifestyle to "US" lifestyle with multiple cars and ACs in the name of "modern" lifestyle.
I'm a farmer's son and software engineer.
I agree with the Crux of what you said but disagree with the way you put it.
And here comes another good Samaritan,to give just a smart oration,
Should have talked about thorium nuclear plants. They are safe asf and much better, cheaper and reliant than wind and solar plants

Save Our Planet
Thorium.
100% correct ! Stop wasting trillions on useless wind and solar.
6:40 It'd be much more energy efficient to transfert the electricity produced from renewable sources directly to those energy intensive processes rather than go through the massive waste from water electrolysis alone, not including all other costs when producing hydrogen this way.
Electricity-based heating elements cannot get to the temperatures needed for many industrial processes. Even if electrolysing hydrogen is only 40% efficient, hydrogen is one of the (if not the most) energy-dense media, so it works out on balance.
@@tstcikhthys
Up until 100 % of the energy produced on this planet is through renewable sources, every single watt of energy spent in the huge waste that is producing and transporting hydrogen, this is by definition wasted energy that could have substituted energy from fossil source. Hydrolysis inherently comes with a huge energetic loss.
@@guilegameche3810 So you are suggesting we ban all use of fertilisers, pesticides, metals, and other industry products?
Decentralised energy production is an area of research all over the world to achieve grid independence. However, it is not possible everywhere. So looking at the overall picture, there will be applications where generation elsewhere combined with green H2 supply does make sense.

Also talk parallelly with waste generation. solar may generate more waste...
People should think twice before Investing on India's Solar Energy Programmes. Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is very corrupted and most Nodal Offices are filled with non performing officers!!!
Bro work is being done. I live in a small city and there are bridges and canals built with Sola pannel on top. And gov is paying 50% if anyone want solar pannel in top so u will see many House getting solar pannel. Just in my society 7 out of 25 house have solar
I would bet on nuclear. Solar and Wind seem to be a real-estate game, distributed systems might be better in this case. Another interesting concept is to generate energy outside of Earth.
Hope Nitin Gatkare is watching this
Indian Railways will go 100% electric before 2030.
Yeah... Is it one of my ideas?
gravity generator...
Its obvious is obvious it would work
Skyscraper made out of multi layered glass.. Swimming pool at the bottom... Metal cap.. Micro earth climate inside... Water evaporates.... Rises.. Condenses on the conical roof... Drops into a funnel... Powers turbines... Repeats process... Heavy insulation at the base to make sure the water stays hot... Works better in warm climates...
Or my other idea
Sea web
Interconnected bouys connected to four other bouys in a massive lattice... As the sea swells the bouys move up and down and so do the arms creating electricity...
How many acres (or hectares) and how many wind turbines will it take to have all India with "clean and green" energy? I keep asking that question here in America (specifically in Massachusetts) and I get no replies. Until I get replies - I'll have to conclude this hasn't been thoroughly thought out.

80 % IAS could not understand that what he saying. They can understand it after 2050 that time they will make policy on it
l wish all countries achive this plan, thank you,we really need a clean environment
"it will be more than enough to power the entirety of America" but did you think about how they'd store/transport that energy? Just producing alot of solar/wind energy won't help you it'd just be a waste if you can't transport that. And so you know how solar farms can affect the ecological balance of the location they're built at?
India has plenty of scarcely populated arid wastelands where nothing else can be done. These areas are perfect for solar power generation. Storage and transportation continue to be issues but with the right ecosystem supported by sector coupling these challenges can be addressed.

Thanks captain late. Giving your 'eye opening' guidance about rooftop solar, solar and wind farms AFTER the massive boom has already begun.
