India's Coal Addiction | Insight | Full Episode

- Coal is regarded as the world’s largest and cheapest source of energy. But coal is also the dirtiest form of fossil fuel and the single biggest source of greenhouse gases that causes climate change. Many developing countries including India just can’t live without it. In fact, 70% of India’s energy needs comes from coal. Apart from helping the economy grow at a much faster pace, coal is also needed to support the lives of millions of its people who rely on the mineral as a key source of their livelihood and economic survival.
Can India move away from the highly polluting power source to cleaner energy? What will be the costs to the lives of its people should it stop relying on the nation’s most critical resource?

Tell that to the foreign funders of anti-Nuclear protestors.
India doesn't have the ability like other developing nations to deal with nuclear waste, even few developed nations have manage to deal with it.
@@rajkishorebehera7489 Nonsense. Virtually all the nuclear waste in the US from reactors is still at the power plants. It is very small. Trivially small compared to the mountains of coal ash. All the uranium rods ever used in the US could fit on one football field and be just 30 feet high. And we have had around 100 reactors for 50+ years.
And that is with them only using 3% of the energy. They only use 3% of the energy because helium builds up under the pellet cladding, so they pull the rods out to prevent the pellets popping and then getting corroded in the water.
New molten salt reactors use the uranium or thorium (or combination), in a dissolved state within a liquid salt. In theory, they can use all the energy. And not only that, they can burn the "waste" from those other reactors.
It will take more initial investment to get this technology working well, and fully engineered. But it has far more payback than India's space program. And by the way, India has ample Thorium to fuel these reactors, so grid energy independence is easy, without the dozens/hundreds of thousands of shortened lives due to coal burning.
@@rajkishorebehera7489 i think you need to get more educated about India nuclear program
@@muditchaudhary7255 you're even too stupid to realize he or she is talking about ppl wanting to shut down reactors in the WEST. Comprehensive reading skills. You should go get some.
Say what you want, it is the politicians, leaders, big business owners who decides how much damage they can do to this planet.
SHUT UP YOU HYPOCRITE. TRY TO LIVE WITHOUT ELECTRICITY FOR 1 DAY AND COME BACK.
The true face of sub-continent dilemma and the vicious cycle of poverty which no one wants to deal with. There is more focus given to defense budgets, instead of elevation of people out of poverty thru alternate source of income.
it is not straight forward, when govt starts supporting one person in poverty they start to create a family of 7+ to 10+ and suddenly the resource load becomes 4x - 5x
Without defence, all your development will be of no use cuz prosperity can be achieved only when there is peace.

Great efforts by Producers and other team members... Well done!👍
Coal reliance not addiction
quite early actually, but this was really interesting and well made!
Wow respect to every country that has to go trough terrible situation's to feed their family
And destroying our planet with that...
such amazing video quality keep it up
Very well made documentary
India should just recommend or make it a standard to use rocket stove designs for commercial or home use of charcoal. The smoke produced will decrease significantly.
It's not just coal. India also consume a lot of palm oil too.
I kiem to Deli and de pollution woz efiekting my pierfomanc...
God damnit youtube, I DON'T NEED YOU TO TELL ME CONTEXT
Amazing documentary
Fabolous Short's
12:30 - "The condition of workers are worse than before".
Every unions say the same thing😂
This documentary justifies "Insight". Real Journalism and very well produced. 😃👍🏼
Well a good thing I cannot keep my petrol car anymore due to emission standards here in Belgium. I see it will really make a difference for the planet...😏
Billions not millions
Where is greta complaining about this?
if you don't have white skin it's ok to do this. Since you are a 'slave' then your actions don't matter. It's all whitey's fault.
What do you do with all the batteries after they die, very dangerous. You need a lot of coal, and metals that must be dug up for dirty elecrtic car's or mopeds. A regular car has less waste than electric batteries. God bless.
New sodium batteries can be recharged 50,000+ times. If it holds 200 miles a charge, that is 10 million miles. Of course, your grid can't be coal. But India is ideal for thorium molten salt reactors.
China 🇨🇳 is even more so!
Not really. China despite being the largest coal consumer, is much less polluting when it comes to power generation because it has much better technologies such as ultra supercritical thermal power generating units which is at similar level as gas fired power plants in terms of pollution.

This hit job journalism on India's coal is embarassing. I dont like coal but even the developed countries still cant stop their addiction to coal.
You West don't teach us
Deceptive. We are not talking about an India that is having trouble reducing coal consumption, but an India that is expanding coal use and at a very high rate: 9% per year compounding. Poor coal grungers are not going to starve to death if the rate of coal extraction fails to increase. This whole argument is bunk.
If India wants energy independence, it needs to work on thorium molten salt reactors. And work on biobutanol for vehicles and heating. Sodium battery technology is also very promising. Combined with small solar panels, the poor can have light to do their studies. Sodium batteries are good because they should be cheap, and they can be recharged in excess of 50,000 times.
Too many castes talking now
no child policy for those below poverty and one child policy for the rest.
they dont want solutions which affect votes
One thing I have seen in most of the India documentary.
They always discuss about north part of India.
Some how they are also known that north India are poor and backwards
India is just surviving on South and Central India
If north India will remain like that then even if India become 5 trillion dollars economy then also it is useless. After then also
Western media make fun of poverty in India (basically north India)
Even South india is poor according to western standards.
"Western media make fun of poverty in India". No, they don't. Having more does not make you an unfeeling jerk. Trumps is not representative. He is mentally ill. And the "media" would not do that. Being horrified and saddened is not "making fun".
And even Americans often experience poverty. It happens a lot with young families, because young workers are often paid poorly...sometimes they have to work unpaid for years as an "intern" before they will be hired. It is the professional 50-year-olds and 60-year-olds that get most of the money. And they don't have children at home anymore. The older people are also the ones that get the inheritances, because we live too long. They are generally retired before their parents die. That also means young people with ambition to start businesses and work hard never get the seed money for that to happen.
In terms of dollars, our poverty might be wealth by comparison, but our costs are high to do anything. In many cities, you have to have a car, or you will soon be homeless.
