Pro-paganda is radical mahhhn
Two windmills are in a field, one asks the other "What kind of music do you like?" The other windmill says "I'm a pretty big metal fan."

This is pretty cringe.. Super impressive riding, but the overt agenda pushing is tough to swallow..
You like swallowing the oil companies "agenda" much better
Great initiative Danny! Thanks for the video as well.

Pro-paganda is radical mahhhn
Creo que necesitas tomar una clase de Geografia Fisica para entender como funciona el planeta, la ignorancia de no saber o no querer saber es lo que esta haciendo que aceleremos el cambio climático. Es fácil repetir lo que otros dicen porque ir a estudiar hay que usar tiempo personal que mejor gastarlo en uno mismo. El cambio climático es real, pero no por que lo dicen algunos científicos, el planeta funciona en perfecta armonía hasta que el hombre con deforestación y extra producción de CO2 está cambiando el balance. Sabes cual es la funcion del hielo en los polos? La Ignorancia mata a los pueblos..dijo Marti
"The problem": Shows a nuclear powerplant's cooling towers, which is one of the best solutions to climate change...
How much money does Google, UA-cam and Redbull give? Propaganda of the G.A.F.A.M. who pollute how them? Propaganda pro-windmill that destroys landscapes and rural fabric
@@charlesderastouil329 Bad example for a world-spanning secret cabal. What do you think happens when you watch the video or load the page? You force the servers and network infrastructure to work harder. This is especially true for HD quality videos with a high framerate (60fps). Not to mention the need for storing multiple copies of videos and backups. You are part of the problem and the reason why they have emissions.
Coal power plant also have cooling towers, but well, these towers are much scarier than the chimneys
I can't even post a comment without someone removing it. CO2, most likely, has nothing to do with the minuscule warming we observed throughout the 20th century.
@@C_R_O_M________ AI filter can be overzealous. Speaking on CO2, I don't understand why people with zero credentials or at least legitimate interest in climate science are so obsessed with blaming pretty much anything but the human CO2 emissions. What is most likely here is that you don't know much about climate.
Don't know how you do it Danny. For years I've been watching your videos and thinking he can't top this one, and then you always manage to. As always beautifully shot and scored as well.
When he cycled and stood on that blade, my heart was in my stomach. Take it easy Danny, we don't want to lose you, whatever the cause.
think we lost him a long time ago. now we have to pay 40 trillion to delay global warming 4 seconds.
@@garage13 when you believe whatever you're told
FFS Danny - I'm a nervous wreck after watching that. Currently lying on the floor, thanking it for being so flat and safe. Apart from that, fantastic work! 😃
I think I will get nightmares from the last scene on the windmill. This is absolutely crazy 💯👍👍👍
I was worried about it until I saw the safety line. I'm glad they used that
Yeah, that was nerve racking. There's three videos that make my palms sweat. One is the world's scariest hiking trail (i can't find the original video), tower climbers working, extreme jobs high voltage power line inspection.
to ask if he ever used it. There is quite a gust up there !
Best biker I have ever seen.
This is just epic Danny!🙏😳
Good message, i wouldn't bloody be standing up there tho. Legend😃
He's got balls made of steel.
False Narrative. Bullshit Message. Pull your thumb out
International Monetary Fund pays huge sums of money to advertise global warming, when in fact climate change is completely natural
Not just the mind-boggling riding as we expect, but the soundtrack is from my favorite musical group around today - The Joy Formidable, from Wales. Song is "Greatest Light is the Greatest Shade ".
Amazing band!! Thanks for pointing me to here from For the Joy of Music! I have always loved Danny, but cherry on top with TJF being sampled!!!
Pro-paganda is radical mahhhn
Thanks! I really like this song
The aggressive, willful, ignorance in the comments is pretty sad.
it's shocking to be honest. Someone could make a cure for cancer and the comments would be all "You shouldnt take it because the earth is flat..." or some crazy argument.
Sad, but not surprising in the least. A big part of the problem is that society has led these people to believe that their unfounded ignorant opinions matter.
It's really sad that so many people live in ignorance, yet claim to know more than experts.
Incredibly brave and talented rider, the final shots on the blade tip are exceptional.
I work as an Enercon turbine tech. I go up those turbines for maintenance. This is incredible that Danny Mac has had a wee pedal along a blade. Well done.
oh mb you could explain how sustainable the recycling and reuse of those turbines is.
@@vanoscrap6296 broken parts are repaired extensively, increasing the lifespan of the resources. The blades are again repaired extensively and at end of life repurposed as bus shelters in some countries such as Norway. Some waste does occur but every effort is made to make things last and be repaired. Hope that helps.
@-GinΠΓ Τάο amazing 🤩 just burn your coal and oil mate! 🔥 BURN 🔥
@@katiefinnegan4649 And now they have developed wind turbine blades that are recycable. Of course, it would have been better that the blade's materials had already been easely recycable, but in real life they useally go with the first thing that works and make it better if it is required.
Doesn't every turbine require 12000 gals of oil...crude oil. How often does that get replaced
Met your dad last weekend Danny. Great man. Wish you both well.
My favorite rider, hands down.
My kids call him "Danny Mac" and often ask for his videos. (They're young) We watch and pretend we can do those tricks, 'judging' Danny's tricks and their difficulty level 👍
One thing I'd like to mention, and it's too late, but one of the opening shots shows a nuclear power plant. There are two cooling towers, and it looks like 'smoke' or 'smog' is coming out of them.
Just so everyone knows, that is simply steam. Nuclear power plants use water to spin the turbines (water is heated by the nuclear fuel, turns to steam, and spins the turbines.)
I don't think most video producers know that; it's easy to get stock footage of a nuclear power plant with steam around it, put it in a video and make people think how bad it is for the environment.
There are new ways of handling spent nuclear fuel, some of which reuse it for good things (NOT depleted uranium for weapons!) instead of burying it for ten thousand years.
It's not in-vogue, and it's not 'cool' to like nuclear power, but it IS clean. If only the industry cared about spent fuel rods 40 years ago, as they do now, it wouldn't have such a bad reputation. 🙄🤔
Sorry for the rant. I've always been a Danny Mac fan and anyone trying to do good for the environment is OK in my book!
Even if you volunteer to pick up litter around your neighborhood, that's a start. Or help clean a local stream or creek.
If everyone stopped littering, and if we stopped letting big corporations get away with mass pollution, the environment would be so much better.
If we kept our bikes for a few more years instead of buying a new bike all the time (sorry Santa Cruz and other Danny sponsors!)☺️ we'd be doing the most important part: REDUCE (Rescue, Reuse, Recycle ♻️)
Everyone drools over these big solutions (wind turbines, etc.) when we've got floating islands of plastic coming from China. We've got solar panels on houses for tens of thousands of dollars (especially if you get Tesla's brand!), but some countries' air is so bad you have to wear a mask every day.
Some counties have little in the way of regulations. Factories spew waste into the air, land and water, without consequence.
In the United States and some other countries, industrial pollution is relatively small compared to decades past and composition the population and GDP.
I'd love all of this effort for Clean Energy and Climate Change to be directed at the big corporations who are spewing toxic waste into our environment!
I guess it's not sexy or cool enough to do that. No one wants to watch Danny ride through smog and bunny hop over toxic sludge. But riding on a turbine blade definitely is cool. 😎
Sometimes, the answers are right in front of us, and are easier than the big, sexy solutions like electric vehicles, solar panels and wind turbines.
What if we cleaned up our planet first? What if we recycled 75% of our trash? What if some counties didn't dump millions of pounds of plastic into the ocean? Can we all do that for a decade, and revisit everything? Once we've ended basic pollution, then we can tackle wind turbines and Climate Change!
Get up right now and look in your trash can. Look in a local dumpster, local trash center and local landfill.
We waste SO MUCH STUFF and we keep doing it, but we feel better about ourselves because we have solar panels on our roof. 🙄
We pay taxes to our governments to install wind turbines, but the politicians are in the board of directors for companies that make toxic chemicals and don't dispose of the waste. Let's hold THEM accountable!
Peace and love.
(And sorry for the rant!)
Очень хорошо. Мне кажется многие способы решения проблем экологии не могут или с большими усилиями могут решиться в рыночной экономике. Например повторное использование стеклянных бутылок. В СССР молоко, алкоголь выпускался в стандартных бутылках и мог быть повторно использован. В РФ, к удивлению, до сих пор продается натуральная молочная продукция для детей при покупке которой желательно принести старые использованные бутылки.
В вашей стране раньше было распространено использование стандартных стеклянных бутылок которые можно было сдавать на переработку в магазине?
Так, залоговая стоимость пол-литровой бутылки из-под минеральной воды в 20 коп. (со 2 апреля 1977 года, до этого с 1961 года стоила 12 коп.) была вдвое дороже содержимого самой бутылки (10 коп.), а залоговая стоимость молочной бутылки (15 коп.) была сопоставима со стоимостью содержавшегося в ней пол-литра молока или кефира (15−20 коп.)
I agree. We.need to clean up first.
I wonder whether our controllers truly care about the state of our planet...
Cl!m@te ch@nge seems to be a means to get to a goal. If they want they can limit our time in nature because "nature needs a break from people in order to recover" and so they can further separate us from our roots.
The natural world which keeps us sane.

Rest of the world: Skinny needs to be atleast 3 tires wide.
I like how in the making of he makes sure the height is right.
Video is good, and it weights in on a important subject. But sustainable sources from wind turbines might not be the best option. Just take a look at what is happening in Norway. Trying to save the planet and climate with destroying nature and wild places to get energy from sustainable sources.
Until China and India agree to make real change in the way they treat the environment, this is all just useless political posturing. The science isn't even settled as to what is causing the climate to change anyway, but the speed its changing isn't what is being touted. Its just alarmist foolishness. Should stick to riding bikes...
@@MsTbeasT I think sustainable sources for energy is a good thing, no matter what china and india does. But we have to it in a way that doesn't destroy what is not already destroyed
@@Richrr119 I agree that developing technology that fixes sustainable energy is a good direction, but you are always going to have to destroy something to create the system. Its a fine balancing act, and I don't think we have hit the right balance with anything we are using yet. Certainly not wind power. I'm not suggesting that we stop trying. I am suggesting that we stop amplifying the voices of climate alarmists who have been saying the worlds guna end because of human-cause climate change for 50 years. Their deadlines have come and gone many times over. And I am suggesting that no matter what we in the west develop and implement, if China and India don't get on board it won't even matter that we took the time to do it. Until a countries population reaches a certain level of wealth per capita, I forget what the figure is, their populations will not care about the environment because they have more pressing concerns, such as feeding, clothing and maintaining shelter. I feel the issue is far more complex than most people realise...
@@MsTbeasT the science is WELL settled and has been since over 30 years… sad to see there’s still people around that don’t want to understand
@@ApfelmannYT Read "Apocolypse Never" and come back to me...
talking about climate change then proceeds shows the number 1 cleanest energy, Nuclear Power.
He didn't though. He showed cooling towers. That could be any plant. The scene looked like it was filmed up the Forth. Probably Grangemouth.
@@BrokenBackMountains Its always shown as pollution, but its just steam as its a closed loop system (which comes back down as rain).
@@speedsquishstupid But it wasn't a nuclear plant. It was probably part of the Grangemouth refinery.
That's not a nuclear station, pretty sure it was the Eggborough coal power station and it was demolished earlier this year (just recently).
@@GregHassler I stand corrected.
Drive less, eat your vegetables, support local. How hard can it be?
Vote for renewable and or nuclear too.
The solution is simple, it's called nuclear power.
Yes, idfk why people hate it so much
Nuclear energy is mankind's crowning accomplishment, a culmination of centuries of curiosity and research. It's the future of our species, and we're too scared to embrace it.
i agree ! electricity from nuclear power is the cleanest if one seriously compairs power sources !
can we store the waste in your backyard?
@@aarons4180 it's great that you point this out ! the amount of nuclear waste is incredible small ! like 20 years of nuclear power for 60 M people fit into a basketball building ! so if you make a clean door to an underground nuclear waste, yes, you're welcome ! ( but i got a small garden lol! )
I love Danny. Confused why they showed a nuclear power plant when talking about what is contributing to climate change tho.
That is a cooling tower, not necessarily a NPP's.
Same
pretty sure that was one of the cooling towers are Grangemouth. You can see the Queensferry Crossing bridge in the background.
Nuclear power plants have 10x smaller CO2 emissions than renewables, that is solar and wind turbines. The cooling tower emits water vapour only. Good point noting it. There is a lot of misconceptions about nuclear energy.
None of the nuclear power stations still operational in the UK have cooling towers. Most of the decommissioned ones didn’t have them either.
Propaganda. Sad in this respect.
Great work 👌
Thanks Danny

Give up on what? Accepting that weather is weather and it's always going to be weather?
Look, I'm all in favor of moving away from fossil fuels, but not by embracing something as bad if not even worse. Want clean, safe, efficient energy? Go nuclear.
Also, we're blighting our landscapes, destroying our forests, facilitating child slave labor, killing wildlife on a massive scale, *and paying for it all through our noses* while China is opening a new coal power plant every single week.
Give me a break.

Wind farms are not the answer. Safe nuclear (designed to shut down instead of melt down) is the answer. Energy conservation will also help. Poorly designed outdoor lighting wastes billions of dollars. Please look up: Light pollution .... Thanks
Brilliant video, that ending was sooo stressful
I was recently camping close enough o couple of those windmills. Awful, they are very noisy and did not feel environment friendly. I actually imagined how it would be to be on top of that and my hands are sweating when I look at this...
My fave trick from that was the low key nose dive off the lifting beam. Most people wouldn't drop that high on a full suss, but Danny did it on his trials bike fro t wheel first!
Just watched it back. Not only was it nose first, it was a stoppie into the drop!

Dude, after all these years watching your vids, you keep surprising me every time. You are amazing!
You had me until 13 seconds in when you show a clip of two cooling towers from a nuke plant. Nuclear is the ultimate zero emission clean energy. The clouds you see are simply water vapor. You should change this clip out for a fossil fuel burning plant.

Good job keeping the planet green
I believe there is a misconception about this climate change
I'm all for renewables
but here's a small history lesson !
since the industrial age, country's started to pollute the most, it's been rising ever since
those people in power back then got rich because of it
now since there is more awareness about the change of climate, governments come with extra taxes to do things for the good of the climate
but this is not fair, those old people and their descendants need to fix the shit they started, once they start spearheading solutions with lots of money already backing those projects, I'll fall in line and support the climate change
fundraisers like this send a wrong message, all it says to those that started or benefited the most on mother earths pollution is, enjoy your money, we'll fix your shit !!
and I don't agree with this, those people should spearhead solutions without the normal guy getting taxed more and more to fix the problem
for all I care we can all go to hell with this planet, let people enjoy their money there !!
energy is getting more and more expensive, and these 'fundraisers' send a wrong message !!
False economy. A front flip is worth way more than a flat drop
Biggest challenge with renewable energy is storage capacity. Hopefully, we can find new solutions to this.
There are plenty of them being worked on, including repurposing used batteries, pushing water back into dams, and my favorite, kinetic energy storage.
Does the planet not go through cycles of heating up and cooling down, through out thousands of years?
It does. The problem is it's normally over 10's of thousands of years, not over 150 years like the current trends.
Club of Rome made up the whole thing and then propagated the ideas for 30 sum years. Now every brainwashed pleb believes it. Its amazing how propaganda works isn't it?
The amount the earth has heated in the past 50 years is supposed to take over 10,000. This isn't natural. Get educated.
Absolute belter. Loved the whole thing and what a song too! Smashed it Danny and well done to everyone involved 🎥🤝
No tricks on the turbine blade?! Doesn't care about the planet.
that's fine and dandy and all, but climate issues are only part of the problem, until we start addressing things like MASS overpopulation, rampant consumerism, profit maximisation, planned obsolescence, aggressive marketing, over consumption.
And this is just the start of a long list, I hold very little hope for the future of this planet....
The planet will thrive once again when humans are gone, for millions of years mother nature is a beast 👍
The earth is fine, I'm concerned about humans.

Those turbine blades are not recyclable. When they need to be replaced, they are buried.
Береги себя, друг!👍
What exactly was the point of showing a nuclear power plant cooling tower when the "problem" was mentioned in the beginning of the video? That was the most dishonest, misleading, and demonizing piece of shit I ever saw in a video that claims to promote energy production with fewer climate impacting emissions!
That's not a nuclear station, it was the Eggborough coal power station and it was demolished earlier this year (just recently).
Danny never ceases to amaze! Hats off to you and cheers!

Nuclear waste is a gift our children dont want or need.
@@bhew7409 The amount of waste is fairly small and they are safe ways to store it. Btw. the "argument" with the children is the most pathetic way for people without any argument to defend their cause. Always reminds me of the Simpsons :D
@@KapitanPisoar1 I was just refering to future generations but children reads better. And, it is already too much we don't need anymore. One day in sure some bright spark might work out it can be fired into the sun or something but until we can deal with the waste it's unethical to make it. Renewables are a far more intelligent way of creating electricity. What we need to work on is energy storage to complement it, over time wind, sun and hydro will only become more efficient and cost effective. Nuclear is 60s technology.
@@bhew7409 Nuclear is 60s technology? What kind of argument is that? In that case wind is 7th century technology, the hydro is a 3rd century BC tech and the solar is 1830s technology. And you call me ignorant, how funny is that...

We need more awareness of the issues with battery production and recycling.... Be careful of "Green propaganda"
If more of our electricity came from renewable sources electric cars would be more applicable to helping curb climate change.
@@Spolt_main it's the manufacturing of batteries that is the problem not the generation of electricity
@@nigelsmith7366 The only real commercial application of batteries in regards to preventing climate change is in cars, everyone accepts that batteries are impractical, that's why I jumped to electric vehicles. Still my point stands, if more energy did not rely on fossil fuels then electric vehicles would make more sense. If 70% of our energy (used in these vehicles) is coming from fossil fuels and batteries spend the rest of that 30% on their production then they're useless (if their production cost is greater than that 30% then they do more harm) . If 100% of our energy comes from renewable sources and that 30% figure doesn't change, then the vehicles is 70% more efficient in terms of reducing carbon emissions.
@@Spolt_main if you have high number on renewable energy sources then take a look at germany, highest emeegy price in the world
@@arturow2686 45% of their energy is produced by renewable. And yes they do have the highest prices in Europe, but that's from a mix of wind power and natural gas shortage. Look, I'm not saying that renewable solves everything... it doesn't (nuclear does) but having a mix of energy generation is still very beneficial. I'm nuclear all the way and wind power where applicable.
This dude got some green skills

What a great video Danny (and the cycling wasn't too shabby either).
Good work danny !
Safety line or not takes serious big balls to do that wow
Even fully feathered these blades usually still move. I’d love to hear how you felt up there. You must have nerves of steel if this is real. As far as climate change is concerned, I don’t agree that we are doing anything like enough if we are to stabilise things. But, cynically,I don’t think that current green policies are anything other than a sop to make people think they’re doing something when in reality they’re doing little of any efficacy. We still in UK generate 80% of our electricity by burning gas, a fossil fuel. I don’t see this changing in my life time. And electric cars are not zero emissions at all. The electricity has to be generated. I resent government treating us as imbeciles. Buying electric cars makes so little difference that I, for one, won’t be doing this until there is a provable point. And air source heating is inefficient and very expensive. And we’re being forced down this route? Hell no. At least give us options that work!!!
"Buying electric cars makes so little difference that I, for one, won’t be doing this until there is a provable point" how about when your sitting in traffic your not uselessly pumping CO2 into the air? Imagine if every car was electric, what it would be like. No fumes, no noisy engines, no smog, nothing. Think about if every house had solar panels and batteries so the grid was only there as a back up to the power you are generating yourself and you can come home at the end of the day in your electric car, park it and fill it up for free. Thats the end goal here, something like that
@@troywilliams844 "No fumes, no noisy engines, no smog, nothing." except that that is absolutely false. Electric cars need to be charged and this is done using (at least for 80% of our electricity) by burning gas. So there are fumes and smog. Certainly not nothing. We are being sold a pup. Electric car batteries cause serious environmental pollution. The batteries almost double the weight of the cars meaning you need much more power to move them. If you look at the figures, for both environmental impact and cost, electric cars are rarely anything more than marginal in their benefits. And try towing a caravan with an electric car. You may get more than 80 miles from your batteries if you are lucky. And the batteries have a life or only around 5 years and then you've got to make new ones. You can't easily recycle them either. This just doesn't make sense as a solution.
Shout out to The Joy Formidable for the soundtrack!
When someone finds a way to dispose of lithium in electric cars batteries safely then talk to me 😂 great video nonetheless!
Also note that lithium isn't unsafe, it's one of the more prominent materials on earth (and in the universe), and I bet you'll find some in your medicine cabinet.

It was windy and took a bit to rig but was good fun and Danny put on a great show.
