@@anjanajha1233 He's just a namazi troll.
129 megawatt-hours vs 150 megawatt is one of the most misguided comparison without viewers knowing it
I dont think they meant to compare the battery capacity to the power production from the turbines, i think they just meant that the company is going to increase their energie supply by 50%.
You forgot to mention Africa😕, Kenya🇰🇪 is a geothermal powerhouse globally
🤣
Oracle hey there before you sent the laugh emoji i wish you could have done research
i didnt know that, thats fascinating!
I searched for it and it is true indeed. Go go Kenya! :)
@33kaus holokaust We are building one near our great lakes and are also aiming to be a clean energy sufficient country by 2020. Just watch out for Kenya in the near future.
Costa Rica has 100% sustainable energy that lasts months. Even though it's a small country, the ability to sustain 100% of the country's energy needs should also be taken into account when determining the leaders in this field
CR is certainly a terribly underrated actor considering that they are basically the ones that always shows up in that kind of stuff
Uruguay has almost 100% sustainable energy for years (between 96-99%)
@J. Milton Jeffreys uruguay it's not poor lol
@J. Milton Jeffreys dude, those two are pretty much the countries in overall best shape along with Chile in LatAm, albeit there is still room for improvement

"not including hydropower"
not including 98% of norways power supply
@peter that makes no sense, not all countries are sunny and windy, nor they have volcanoes to produce geothermal energy. If any country wants to switch from fosil fuel to renewables it must harvest its renewable resources, it's stupid to exclude hydropower l.
Hydropower has the problem that if your country has a suitable location for it, it is most likely either in use already or protected. No or minimal chance of growth, so it makes the numbers look misleading. Now if we start building more wave/tidal power, that does need to be included.
It is also rather not-green compared to others. You need to dam a river valley or dig a reservoir, destroying whatever forest habitat, local villages and natural beauty were there, risk creating mudslides or floods, block fish and boats from traveling the river, and the huge amount of concrete and other materials needed don't exactly help either. On the plus side you might get some tourists fishing in the reservoir, not exactly a fair trade.
The difference is that hydro is dispatchable upon request, unlike variable sources like wind and solar. In other words it's very easy to have a lot of renewable electricity if you have the hydro resources but much more difficult from other renewable sources
If you take Ireland for example, it has all of it's hydro resources exploited (as it's very easy and cheap to) but only amounts to 3% of electricity. Ireland would love to be able to have more hydro resources as its cheaper and far more reliable than the wind farms they are building en masse
@@brick1907 That definitely helps keeping it in the game, but either you have a steadily flowing river and would like to use it, meaning you probably run pretty close to100% output and don't have anything to dispatch on request; or you keep some production in reserve for when needed, meaning unless you are paid for that untapped amount you lose money and if you are it raises the general price per kWh. Or your river is not a steady and reliable source of energy and you are running a pumped hydro energy storage. I don't think storage should be counted as renewable energy PRODUCTION, whether the original energy was produced with renewables or not.
I like that the reporter kinda moves like she’s in a rap battle at the start of the video.
👍
@papa bless No U
Should've made statistics for % of total power that is renewable energy
100% renewable energy of German does not help this world, but 50% US and China help a lot
That wouldn’t work as higher populations require more energy so yeah no...
Obviously say America Canada Russia China etc are going to require waaay more power than say Fuji which means all those countries could use far more renewable energy yet be out paced by Fuji with ease when using percentage of power usage lol
@@randomcallum Yes but it still just goes to show what countries are doing the right things so bigger countries can mimic what the smaller countries do. It's the same you do with a prototype, you start out on a small scale and if it works then you get it going on a bigger scale. So if it works for the smaller countries then the bigger countries can adapt it.
Victor Rehn however that’s inaccurate if a small country only needs a handful of wind farms to power it that’s hardly fair to compare to say China who have the largest solor power plants in the world and the biggest dams in the world lol
That data your suggesting would say nar guys a few small wind farmers are better than China’s that produce significantly more energy xD
@@randomcallum That's not what its gonna say tho, it's gonna set an example for how a country no matter the size can organize a country and get more % of their total energy to be renewable energy.

Trump did not say Renewable energy was bad quit the opposite, he said USA should not pay 3/4 the cost. China - India are way bigger polluters! He was saying we needed to make a better deal. Follow the money. Do some research. Let's see I bet you think TEXAS is a bad energy State. Nope #1 in Renewable energy yep more than CA. If it were a country it would be #4 in total Renewable energy production. Once people and business see Renewable energy saves money then will see the shift. Trump did not want the US tax payers to foot the bill for China to build new coal plants while taxing US to pay for it. Always always follow the MONEY.

Disappointed to see this video equivocate energy and electricity, quite misleading
Low hanging fruit. Wind and solar are very competitive. Batteries are taking off like crazy. EVs are driving it. I've had my Tesla Model 3 AWD for a year. It's awesome, but there are a whole slew of 200+ mile EVs going to be available in 2020.
@Joshua N. Ajang Rare earths actually aren't that rare.
Yes. Very disappointing. Electricity account for only 20 percent of the world's overall primary consumption. Besides renewables only account for 11 percent (hydro 7 percent, solar/wind/biomass 4 percent) If you add nuclear you get 15 percent. So more than 80 percent are still fossil fuels (2018)
@peter In Germany electricity is at about 45% renewable but overall just 15% lol
I remember once in a popular mechanics magazine a long time ago, they had an idea where you can use a special type of wind blade installed in the centre of highways in the cities and they would turn from the wind produced from passing cars and trucks. Its would produce enough power for the lights at the side of the highways.
From what I have read such installations could actually produce a small surplus. Honestly I am somewhat surprised it isn't more common to integrate small to medium sized solar panels into streetlights, you already need to install the foundation, connect to the grid, and regularly inspect and maintain the equipment so why not try to recouperate some of the costs
Imagine using gyms to harvest kinetic energy? Get paid for getting pumped yo XD
actually not a bad idea, using human effort to power up, a incentive to generate energy and strengthen body at the same time. Body builders get jacked and paid for their pumping according to how much unit they generate. There should be energy center gyms like that which support punching, kicking, lifting, jumping etc and convert it into energy. people can set up certain units as their goal...Finally Gymming will become a attractive job and coaches will be even more necessary to optimize the energy generation. So it indirectly generates Jobs.
There is gym that uses this model it's called Eco Gym.
Huge infra will be needed and very very less energy will be produced.....so, overall its a wastage of money.
@@theHollowGabimaru atleast people will be incentivized to exercise and wont have to pay for it. The energy produced could cover all costs of running the gym hopefully.

Renewable energy still has plenty of room to grow in Brazil, especially solar, wind and biomass.
How bout u let the Amazon grow first?
First: If it was up to me, I could grow as far as possible.
Second: Investing in solar, biomass and wind energy also avoids deforestation in the Amazon, because the energy industries are all far from the Amazon.
Third: If you are concerned about the Amazon I can offer you a list of NGOs working for forest preservation. So you can make a donation to help, just as I did.

You should show per capita usage as US and Canada use more than China per capita by a large margin. While CO2 emissions are also significantly higher than China as well per capita, this demonstrate efficiency.
True but to be fair the problem is related to how much is manufactured in China. It's not a good system to have one country be the world's factory and it's also unfair for the labor of one country's people compete with that of another country's.

I love renewables along with thought leaders like Lovins, McDonough and Jacobson. We also need to grow global renewables 5 times faster than we are presently. However, I have a real question: When it is super cold like -25 and -35 C as it was on the Canadian prairies for the past week renewables electricity generation share shrank to basically zero. Will geothermal, transmitting outside hydro, grid batteries, bidirectional electric vehicles along with biogas, high insulation and high efficiency do the job? Or do we keep fossil fuel plants, namely natural gas plants, operational for back up emergencies?
India dont have cold winters, i remember some anomal frost hit delhi (delhi was colder than moscow at that time lol), and it was a huge force major, while near 0C temperatures considered warm in russia during winter. Combined electricity/heat plants are necessarily at latitutes higher than 50N during winter.

How long BEP average for off grid solar power plant?
She sounds like that Asian reporter Tricia Takanawa from the family guy🤣🤣
Capacity(measured in W, a unit of power) isn't equal to generation(measured in Wh, a unit of energy). The capacity is the maximum output of electricity that a generator can produce under ideal conditions, meanwhile generation refers to the amount of electricity that IS produced over a specific period of time.
So, according to the latest numbers from India, RES(renewable energy sources) account for 36 percent of the total power capacity while only 20 percent of the actual energy generation, which means that almost half of the installed RES capacity remains unrealised in India, when compared to the other sources of energy, much like most other spheres in India, where potential and capacity remains, but doesn't get realised or generated. Therefore, if India ranks 4th on your list, it doesn't really mean much. If anything, countries should be ranked based on generation.
Thank you for your detailed explanation on capacity versus generation. It's important to consider both aspects when evaluating renewable energy sources. By focusing on generation, we can better understand the actual impact and utilization of these sources. Speaking of power, have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile and powerful backup power solution perfect for outdoor enthusiasts like us. Check it out!
That's why interconnecting our power grid to other countries would fix a lot of intermittent problems just like we did with the Internet connected the globe
This video has pretty outdated info. Few things they missed:
-Hydroelectric is not necessarily green, as it releases greenhouse gases from the water reservoir effects
-The UAE is one of the largest solar producers in the world
-The Paris Agreement may not have been very effective or enforced

Thank you! Just a few comments - the problem with hydroelectric power is that hydroelectric dams destroy the environment at the same time. With increasing average temperatures, evaporation from large bodies of water is surely a concern? Also, they choke up rivers, inhibiting their natural flow and threatening to create what can be likened to an impending global thrombosis. In addition, large dams negatively impact natural river ecosystems - everything in nature is interconnected.. Wave power and electromagnetic power are viable options it seems. There are already EM trains - why not use this unlimited power source to greater effect?

Originally from Brazil lived in NAPA for 20 years now but still go back frequently. I was surprised to see that they use ethanol(alcohol )and is or at least was the global leader of alternative fuel! It’s a shame we don’t have that here
We have plenty of ethanol but I think a generally lower mixture in the USA. E85 which is mostly ethanol is available in some places but not everywhere, which has over 110 octane (compared to 93 octane premium gasoline). It's hard to calculate ethanol's true benefit in the USA... We make our ethanol from corn (I think Brazil makes theirs from sugar beets) which as a dual effect of less corn for human consumption and feedstock, and whether the petroleum products that are typically used to grow and deliver the processed corn is tryly a net benefit. Government subsidies also muddy the picture... subsidies may be essential to getting production up sufficiently to make economic sense for building the related infrastructure
Additionally, only cars manufactured after 2007 can take E85 gas without modifications. Any earlier model cars need to invest in a "kit" that can cost in the neighborhood of about $700 to replace the fuel injectors, install a special ethanol sensor and reprogram the car's computer.
Although I suppose it's YMMV on an individual basis, it should also be recognized that ethanol has a high water component which might affect some car systems, and despite the very high octane actually results in a much lower net miles per gallon... So it looks like E85 is priced at the pump very low so as not to be not a poorer deal than regular unleaded gas on cost per mile driven.
Forgot to add... Burning ethanol in your vehicle does not lessen emissions that are damaging to climate change but it does mean not burning a resource (petroleum) that could arguably be used in a better way (eg plastics) instead of simply burning it up.

secret to win a high per capita renewal energy capacity; put a nordic cross in the flag.
There Is No Shortage of Energy; There Is Shortage of Normalcy
Despite increased production of energy from renewable sources, and despite the slowdown in car manufacturing, oil prices are skyrocketing. Even though fewer power plants still burn coal, coal prices are skyrocketing, as well. Natural gas prices, too, are going through the roof, and energy demand seems to outpace supply in every country and in every form of energy. Have Earth’s energy sources dwindled so drastically in a matter of months? The answer is a resounding “No!” There is no shortage of energy; there is a serious shortage of normalcy in human relations. I hope the current crisis will put some sense into humanity’s insane consumption.
The energy crunch indicates that we are over consuming. We are producing too much, throwing the excess production to the trash, polluting the ground, the air, and the water, and then we are complaining that we do not have enough. It is about as sane as killing one’s parents and then pleading for the court’s mercy because I’ve recently been orphaned.
It is time we reconsider everything we produce-how we divide production, profits, and goods, which services are necessary and which are redundant, and most importantly, how we treat one another. The goal of this process should be clear to everyone: survival.
There is no ulterior motive, no attempt to dominate or deprive anyone of power or wealth. It is simply that reality is forcing us to take all of humanity and the entire planet into consideration. If we don’t, our entire civilization will collapse like a deck of cards.
Since we still do not understand it and insist on running things the way we have always been running them-through power games-I anticipate a very cold and gloomy winter for the northern hemisphere. The energy crunch will leave many in dark and cold houses; there will be no gas for cars, and renewable energy will not replace traditional sources since there will be little sun during the winter. I hope that at least, it will make us rethink our values. If it doesn’t, next summer will be even worse than the awful summer that just ended.
I know that many people are counting on the promise of renewable energy to solve the energy problems of humanity. I think they are mistaken. There is plenty of energy, far more than we really need. We could cut emissions by at least half tomorrow. But the more we have, the hungrier we become, so our thirst for energy will never be satiated, and we will never stop exploiting the planet or each other until we reeducate ourselves and start being humane toward each other.
We have been behaving like spoiled brats whose parents buy them whatever they want. Now, our parents have run out of money and our childhood is over. It is time for us to mature and conduct ourselves like responsible adults, caring for all of humanity the way a mother cares for her entire family. If we think like a family, we will achieve normalcy.
I'm concerned about next generation energy, so this video give some measures each nations have taken. next power plants with natural disaster seem to be one of interesting ideas, I think.
I'm guessing it would be a substance called "Fire ice"
Something of a hydrocarbon frozen in the matrix of water molecules
Crazy how this has no mention of Morocco wich is the only country meeting it's paris accords goals. And has the biggest solar plant in the world.
She's the new one in the team right?
Its a good start. Keep it up
I love her! She has a bright future ahead! I just want to support! Haha!
How about for country if we look to renewable energy production to GDP?
As exciting as where energy comes from the more pertinent question is how is energy used?
Energy efficiency has been a major reason for maintaining energy consumption steady around the world while global population has increased. Without it neither conventional fossil fuel sources nor renewable energy sources could keep up.
Why would you remove hydro?
Because it's a type of energy production that is very specific to your geology and is limited in how much and where you can use it. It would basically skew the charts to be less accurate.
So is wind and/or thermopower...
Because it often destroys riverine ecosystem
@@DoomDutch SO is solar, wind, solar thermal etc.
@@DoomDutch So is geothermal, wave and tidal power, solar and wind.
