Electrification by 2035 - The Hidden Hurdles
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- Governments are pushing for a rapid shift to electric vehicles and a complete electrification of society by 2035. But is this even possible?
This video considers the hidden hurdles that threaten to derail this ambitious plan. We'll explore the challenges of expanding the power grid, the massive increase in electricity needed, and the impact on crucial industries.
This video is part of a series discussing the challenges of electrification, artificial intelligence, and the large-scale shift to a sustainable society by 2035.

Really interested to know how you are estimating the rise in data centre power requirements. Currently the growth is exponential with no limits currently to investment funding. This is before an end user device has been outlined. Once the switch from training to end user inference can be commodities the growth will be from both consumers rollout and training leapfrogging. All thoughts of EV and Heat pumps will drop away quickly in the rush to build generating capacity?
Thank you for your comment. I don't know where you found that remark. I did not touch upon that subject in the video.
Where will we get the copper?
I'm not an expert on the copper supply, sorry!
And I defend a vision at the opposite: marginal cost of electricity production (not sale price) is going to ZERO. Look at the evolution of the last 50 years. Coal, nuclear, and fossil fuels are replaced at an outstanding pace : highest large-scale investments in energy production are today, mainly PV and wind. NOT nuclear nor gaz. The disruption is at our front door. And large scale batteries will make renewable energy as trustworthy as nuclear in terms of stability and availability, because of its decentralized nature (I produce already 70% of my needs). EVs are the future, that's all. Maybe not 2030, but surely few decades after.
The investment that will be necessary to run all vehicles on electricity will be very large. Elon Musk 59+ minutes into an interview at Codecon 2021 says that the US will need to double generation to make it possible for all vehicles to be run on electricity. There will be severe economic setbacks until electrification can be completed.
@@matslarsson1115 I disagree : today already, the cost of electricity production by PV and wind is well beyond any fossil fuels, and continues to DROP. Renewable energy is the only future
