Good to see a CNBC video where India is not being stereotyped to the 90s Chandini Chowk. We truly have come far in renewable energy. Jai Hind!!! 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Look at the "per capita" stats 🤣
Ammar Abbasi ya right well said
@@ammarabbasi3230 better than before. And btw we still have many projects going on, so it's gonna increase.
Have you been to Delhi lately?
Why do Muslims always flock to hate on India 🤔 ^^^
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
An excellent inspiration
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.
"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.

This portable power station offers massive capacity, powerful output, and fast recharging, making it a reliable backup power source for your outdoor adventures and home needs. It's a great choice for those who value sustainability and are passionate about the environment.
"it had a few setbacks since"
*shows trump*
He sure is a setback, not just for climate change but America itself
According to Media Yes
According to statistics No
@@neonavy1575 sTatiStiCs
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.
@@neonavy1575 REMIND ME AGAIN HOW THE USA ECONOMY DID UNDER THE RETARDED ORANGE MUSELLINI?
Nepal uses 99% hydroelectric energy.
Pretty sure Norway also produce 120% of its own energy, primarily hydroelectric with a small mix of other sources. (although doesnt use its own energy exclusively.)
Good
@Jancy Varghese i don't know from which country you belongs to but i request you to do research and visit the place before shitting on internet 🙏👅
@Jancy VargheseSays the guy where people shit on rail tracks and there is a dufference between begging and demanding what is rightfully ours.
the country is sitting in Himalaya.
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.
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 like that the reporter kinda moves like she’s in a rap battle at the start of the video.

India now ranks third in clean energy 🤟😊.

fun fact : India is the only big country in the G 20 that following paris climate agriment on keeping global warming under control.
india is taking massive steps in renewable energy.
Global warming is bunch of bull temperatures has been the same even before I was born and I am not that young
Brasil is the only place that produces more clean energy in percentage amoung the big countries
That's great to hear about India's efforts in renewable energy! It's important for all countries to come together and take steps towards reducing global warming. By the way, have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile power station that's perfect for outdoor enthusiasts like us. It has a massive capacity, powerful output, and even waterproof technology. Check it out if you're looking for reliable outdoor gear and home backup power products!
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
Currently speaking, Kenya's renewable energy mix makes up to more than 90% of the total power produced and consumed. Clearly one of the highest in the world.
That's why we have to many power surge
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.
@Pepe Med well done on a nice and informative reply
hope you guys can stop the amazon deforestation.. for logging, farming and beef feed..
@@jaydani1996 Brazil has plenty of empty land with depleted soil where they have already clearcut the Amazon, they ligitimately do have a lot of renewable energy potential that doesn't require them to destroy more rainforest.
We should take steps at public level also to help our goverments in this step.
In Australia it's mostly the public installing renewables while the government tries to push more coal usage.

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.

Brazil is Changing fast, solar energy was expensive now a days there is lots of people buying it, including my school (it's a private school so it's economical valuable for them)
The U.K. has the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th and 10th biggest offshore wind farms in the world 🇬🇧💪🏼
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.
Energizing and valuable explanation. Commendable.

We need a hybrid grid of Renewable and Nuclear to replace coal. Nuclear will provide the stability and power up high dense cities while renewables can penetrate small towns and villages by creating micro grids.
There are tons of storage options to stabilize the grid, no need to replace one pest with another.
@@SarahAndreaRoycesChannel How will you store for a grid of entire city on a massive scale?
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
-Human produced energy is laughably small. pedaling a bike only produces enough energy to power a single light bulb

This is such a flawed review of renewables it’s hard to know where to start.
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?
A video about who’s leading renewable energy that doesn’t mention Costa Rica (99% of energy produced is renewable) is a worthless video to watch.
What about my petroleum engineering study ?😅😅 should I leave the university now ?😂
😂😂😂 all the heavy machinery will dependent on fossil fuel until 2050
Got my answer for "LAQ" statics & prospect of Non conventional energy sources
Good to keep in mind!
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!

While yes, the presentation was on renewable energy, but please don't omit the mention of Nuclear energy, as if renewables are the only available option. Advancements in nuclear to make it cheaper and safer than ever are also on the horizon.
Advances in nuclear tech over the last decade have been rapid. It seems to be developing at an exponential rate. For me, all this chat is irrelevant. It's going to be nuclear. They just don't realise is yet.

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.
It's not necessarily making large-scale electricity but making devices that are more efficient at using electricity and using technology more efficiently

Because Western...
Renewable energy production is non significant compared to gas production. That’s what she’s saying.

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.

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.
