Magatte makes a good point regarding how much effort it takes to do the most mundane of tasks, without cheap reliable energy. It is incredible hard to tackle other issues, when so much effort is placed on daily living / survival. In addition, people care nothing for the environment around them when they are struggling to survive. They will burn anything and everything to create the heat and energy they need, on a daily basis.
Gentle pushback on Magatte's claim that their struggles with energy prevent them from being productive...the entire Western world lived like that in the 1700's, and yet they still made remarkable advancements with their societies. In fact, I might think it was because of these hardships that they made such advancements. Please, I don't need negative remarks. I get what you are thinking. But remember, this conference is about solving our problems without degrading Western society. And that seemed like a jab at Western society. Not really productive.
@@avi8terrfwg317 Okay...let's look at that progress then. The printing press certainly progressed the printed word. The cotton gin and seed drill made harvesting and seeding much easier too. But it wasn't until the industrial revolution that really started the rapid advancement of the developed world. So what powered this revolution? Wood was used, then coal was burned along with whale oil, then steam power, then crude oil was discovered. And despite all of this, some African tribes still burn dung to cook with, as well as providing heat and light. Some of these countries don't even have the infrastructure for power grids, let alone the industry to power them. And why is this? Leadership...or the lack thereof. Now I don't think she was making a jibe at the western world, but rather African leaders (or dictators) who are economically preventing them from progressing. Perhaps she is condemning the western countries that have robbed many African countries of their resources, but that is now changing. Regardless of who she was condemning for the lack of progress, in some African countries, it is still an issue...and needs to be addressed. It is not a lack of will of these African countries to provide cheap reliable energy, but the lack of leadership, in my estimation. Corrupted governments are preventing these African nations from being prosperous. That is what I think she is calling out.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen for this important conversation. My Italian relatives had no running hot water, indoor toilets, or heaters. They had a 30m deep fountain, using a bucket and rope to draw their drinking water. They didn't have shoes or coats until 70 years ago and in northern Italy it snows and is freezing cold in winter. The generation of my grandparents experienced the most incredible change of lifestyle in their lifetime.

Margate Wade is 100% right. We in the west should be feeling a moral imperative to aid Africa with our expertise on energy production to help them develop their resources. Shame on the idealogues for trying to hold them back!
I find it interesting that we've had organizations for decades that have been helping African communities. However, it seems like they are no better off now than they were back then. I'm not being mean here... it just seems like we continually give them fish without teaching them to fish. However, we are starting to see a change in their mindset. It does appear that they are starting to take charge of their own destiny. If that mindset catches on, they will be a prosperous and productive society. Which will only make the world better.

Magatte Wade is right. We need to leave developing countries alone. Let them develop the energy they need. Let those countries learn how to stand on their own.
I was working in the UK small to medium scale renewables sector and there were huge crises at the time in the period 2009-2015 where the Chinese manufacturers of solar panels were crushing European manufactures by making huge state underwritten losses to aggressively control the market. This led to amazing companies like Schott solar who made incredible panels with a long history of manufacturing excellence, to pull out of the market. It was formidable behaviour and it has clearly continued
Also just as a legitimate side point from a former industry member, anyone who says "windmill" instead of wind turbine comes across as a classical NIMBY who has jumped from hating the way they look, to believing the nonesnese that they cause autism, tinnitis and whale deaths and finally to the point that they have no place in the make up of a diverse energy future. There's plenty of space to criticize Wind power, but I would advise, for credibility in debate, don't call them windmills, it's technically incorrect. They don't mill anything. Turbine is more accurate, or wind energy generator. Was a professional bugbear of mine. Had to deal with nonesnese like this article (where my name was mentioned) for years and years

I hope the ARC conference went well, thanks so much for uploading the speeches for a wider audience to enjoy. Another impressive discussion on energy and energy policies. Three impressive speakers. The energy future for me should focus on nuclear, fossil fuels, renewables in that order. Nuclear is safe, you just need to make sure that the education system produces enough skilled people to construct and then run the nuclear power stations. I'm in England, but I've read about the SNP in Scotland's obsession with building wind farms. So many lovely trees have been cut down to make way for the wind turbines, which are known to cause harm to birds and other wildlife and some humans who live near them say that the health suffers as a result. When I started watching last night, the ARC You Tube subscriptions stood at 53.1k, it is now up at 53.6k so the word is spreading. Good to see. Much appreciated by this British citizen.
Magatte speaks for all the victims of poverty in Africa and every land. No one in this day and age should be without the bare necessities of heat and water. So many are. How this has been allowed in this day and age is beyond comprehension . So glad to see and hear a warrior in action with the experience and the heart of a Lion. May God Almighty provide exactly what you need not only for Africa but for all victims of poverty wherever they may be.
Well, that was stressful to watch. I wish they had more time and less pressure to rush their answers because I believe they have amazing information on how to achieve our common goal, sustainable affordable energy for all. Thank you Jordan and your brilliant and passionate panelist’s. There’s still hope for us all 🙏🏻🙌🏻
"The other side has been leading with emotion. We need to lead with emotion as well." ... "I think we need to use sober analysis" Bishop Barron is there at ARC as well -- one of his strategic proposals (well worth paying attention to) is "both / and". Aristotle outlined three rhetorical strategies - _ethos, pathos,_ and _logos,_ which translate roughly to credibility, emotion, and reason. The bishop says that the strongest arguments use ALL of these strategies. We should do that here as well.
I can't convey my gratitude enough, for these people coming together at the first ARC conference. Just a bit of constructive criticism, the sound volumes are quite low. Even at maximum volume, I am struggling to clearly hear the speakers in each of these videos that you've uploaded to UA-cam, where I am currently watching them. Hopefully the production quality (regarding sound) will be better next year. Cheers.
I grew up like most working class people in the UK in the 1970s with coal fired heating and hot water, so if your mum wasn't up early to make the fire, you had a freezing house and freezing water, we too had to wait more than 45 minutes to go from cold to warm water, but that didn't stop people inventing things. I'm sure that although some of the great inventors over the last couple of centuries did so by candle light, but it did not stop them inventing. Stop belly aching women, and realise that most of Africa is only 50 years behind the West in terms of creature comforts, and we put rockets on the moon during that period. Africa will change when Africans themselves change, and not blame everything on everybody else.
South African here, Africa will NEVER change. It loves taking money from the west but will never love the west. Africa must be given what it's called for and it must unite in CAR and Nigeria, they will never move forward if they western nations spoonfeed it.
But you already had gas and electricity by then, even if you made your own coal fire. I grew up in the 60s, and we had a kitchen stove that heated the water, or we used the immersion heater which required you to flick a switch. All the hard work was done long before we existed, and it was usually done by men who had the brains, and the time, to create technology, while their wives saw to their needs, like cooking, cleaning, child rearing, and making sure there was hot water.
@@linjubar But we didn't have gas until the end of the 70s as we, liked 70% of South Yorkshire at the time, lived in council houses, in the middle of the biggest coal field in the UK. I was born in the village that the film Kes was made, at the time it was released. If you've seen it you will know. You were either from down South or Middle class, to have heat at the flick of a switch in the 60s. She had her aunt there to warm the water, and probably Isac Newton had an aunt/maid too, but he still got up and questioned science. I've travelled all over Africa, and there are some middle and upper classes with their own maids, giving them ample time to invent. ...Get on with it woman ! :)
Was playing the new Starfield game, and while base-building, it really annoyed me how my base would lose so much energy and resource production at night when the sun was down, and when the wind wasn't blowing. Then it struck me how stupid it would be to depend on the weather like that in real life.
Abundant energy is essential to human flourishing FOR ALL. Renewables can augment the energy systems. However, replacement is a reckless approach. As has been presented, demand for energy does not decline. Each year, demand for new energy ECLIPSES the added renewable energy. Therefore, removal of viable energy sources will result in population declines with the poorest countries experiencing the worst outcomes.
00:01 Energy trade-offs: Africa faces deaths due to indoor air pollution while sacrificing economic growth and dignity. 02:32 Renewable energies have high upfront costs but lower emissions and can be cost-effective in the long run. 04:56 The global energy trade-off involves producing cheap, reliable, and secure energy while considering the natural environment. 06:59 China's dominance in critical minerals and renewable energy components poses a risk to global energy systems. 08:59 China's dominance in the supply chain of critical components poses defense vulnerability for the US 11:06 Living without basic amenities like electricity and heating is a challenge in many parts of Africa. 13:11 Germany's shift away from nuclear energy was driven by political ideology rather than practical reasons. 15:41 Replacing strong emotional ideology with something better 17:46 The need to rethink our energy mix to avoid the deaths of African women. 19:28 Advocate for not turning off renewable energies until alternative technologies are ready. 21:27 The speaker emphasizes the need to hold people accountable and force them to rethink their actions regarding renewable energies. 23:22 Energy realism and humanism are crucial, and we need more of both.

Africa has far more to contribute than this embarassing blustering victimhood - please lets hear from its many talented engineers & problem solvers - like everywhere we need their input far more than yet annother empty barrel activist making a lot of self justifying noise.
Some of it made a lot of sense but some unfortunately did not. Alarm bells are ringing when someone gets an ovation not for proposing common good solutions but for expressing their divisive identity

The global south first needs to be energy sufficient, and get above poverty, before any talk of energy cut or shallow environmentalism...Bravo to the panelists!
When you analise theactual use of gas fuel for power stations it is inthe west a very small percentage. Consequently if gas is used as the main provider of electricity and other supplies come from renewables, the overall reductions in CO2 would be massive and reduce the worlds output. Gas is the secret to China and India etc. In countries like Africa power could be stored in the warmth of the sun and released at night like the storage heaters we had with off peak elec. massive improvements in Africa could be financed from their natural resources, and overall the world could benefit from targeted fossilfuels restricted to elec grid only. In addition CO2 is nothing in terms of global warming. Prof Will Happer has proved this we could increase CO2 to 800 ppm without any noticeable increase in temp. It’s all a matter of truth not propaganda.
China does control much of the "rare earth elements" markets. But this is really due to our own foolishness. Rare Earth elements are not really that rare. There are plenty of them available in the USA. However, when mining for rare earths, it almost always comes with Uranium and Thorium. Both are slightly radioactive. So... our regulations are such that when mining for rare earths, we get Uranium and Thorium that must be treated like radioactive waste. This drives up the costs to the point that no company wants to mine for rare earth elements in the USA. Interestingly, Thorium is about 3 times more abundant in the earths crust than Uranium and can be used as a nuclear fuel. It is not fissile, but it is fertile, meaning Thorium can be made to be nuclear fuel by absorbing a neutron. Turns out that a type of Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) called a LFTR hold great promise as a reactor design that can convert Thorium-232 (pretty much 100% of natural Thorium is Th-232) into Uranium-233, and consume (fission) the U-233 and produce lots of energy (about one million times as much energy per Kilogram of fuel compared to ANY fossil fuel). We can blame the Chinese for many things, but sometimes we excel at getting in our own way!
Wielding energy is not the only factor required for eliminating poverty. Social issues, education, rule of law, and a supportive (not domineering or parasitic) government that nurtures human endeavour (rather than economically mines it through taxation).
Next conference maybe you can find the young man from India who invented the filtration system that pulls carbon out of the air and he's producing tile with it that they're using for flooring and Roofing in India. The idea of taking a pollutant and repurposing it into something renewable is fantastic. Another person you might consider finding and having her speak is the young scientist who discovered the bacteria that actually eats Plastics or petroleum products if there was a way to inject this into landfills that would be amazing
@@chriskshaw7601 I think you misunderstood the point if the overall Global messages carbon is bad and Arc is trying to push back against that. Then highlighting new technologies that we can use alongside a fossil fuels creates a win-win for everyone. Conversely inversion and air quality in some places is pretty bad. Yes, I understand it's necessary for photosynthesis. However, like I said highlighting equitable outcomes in areas of poor air quality everybody wins. I live in a state in a valley surrounded by mountains and you can see the inversion.
@@BobBob-vx4ck ok, yes i missed the point. It is obvious to me that there are special and specific circumstances where ruinables can perform well. I am a fan of EVs etc where there is a good reason to use them. Sorry to miss the point.
The definition of poverty in the 21st century is not measured in monetary terms. Simple - if you don't have electricity you are in poverty. It's is an outrage that developing countries are not given loans and aid of all kind to build power plants - whatever works where, coal, gas, nuclear.
It's not the reaponsibilty of anyone else to pay them to do that. They need to do it for themselves. I'll be all for it when western countries have 0 problems of their own. But ubtil then, no thanks
The whole purpose of the IMF and World Bank has been to help poor countries develop. Many nations have their own unilateral aid programs - like USAID. However, if an African country wants to build solar panels somebody will pony up. If an African country wants to build a coal plant - that will actually deliver electricity - you can forget it unless China is around. (And they are.) Sri Lanka has been driven into a Green economic collapse - Dutch farmers are going out of business (try that in the USA) because of methane - and Western countries - the US included - are willing to squander billions trying to pursue technologies that can't possible replace fossil fuels especially as nuclear - for reasons hard to fathom - still has a bad name. So there you go: the most important thing the rich world can do to help the very poor world is to help them build an electrical grid and we won't do it. Africans, like the woman in this panel, are right to be outraged. And why would the West want to help? Economic development everywhere has meant much smaller families because they urbanize. The one part of the world where population continues to grow quickly is rural Africa.
& not much more - Africa has far more to contribute than this blustering victimhood - I didn't hear any solutions fom her - only pre prepared excuses not to have any - sad to say, this lady looks like a token inclusion - could ARC not find better? - Africa has many talented problem solvers & engineers who could actualy contribute constructively.
Saying 3rd world countries need coal and gas and other centralized power plants is like saying they need land lines for telephones before they get cell phones. Decentralized power from solar and batteries can shortcut needing to build out an electrical grid and can be cheaper than the old ways of building out power grids. The governments of those countries are the problem more than how to get power.
@@honkytonk4465 Creating Macro grids to distribute electricity is very expensive and creates single points of failure. Micro grids are much cheaper and easier to install. There is no need to go backwards and install outdated technologies to bring them out of poverty. There are already communities all over Africa that are being brought out of poverty with solar and batteries.
@@ThebacksonTo become self reliant and productive in manufacturing and agriculture will take coal, oil and gas to get them started. Heating a single shower with solar is not the same as powering a factory to provide products, jobs and security.
@@ronjon7942 You are just repeating the talking points of the oil and gas and coal industries. you are not taking into account the cost of the grid required with those technologies. A factory or plant can be built with the accompanying solar attached to it for half the price of powering it by coal or gas. Utility scale solar is one of the cheapest forms of electricity and it can be installed on site of the industries that need it without having to run power cables all over the country.
He had me right up until he mentioned Nuclear Energy. It is very expensive, and may not stack up, particularly as other technologies get cheaper and more reliable.
Amazing. Venezuela and Senegal… same experiences. Interesting that’s African and South American government political leanings are very similar (socialist/communists) models. Makes you wonder 🤔
From what I can tell, this is the first day of three. I think there is a bit of a theme for each of the days, so stay tuned, and you may find what you’re looking for in the next two days.
All School children should ask their science teachers: how many 100w solar panels would it take to make 1x 100w solar panel? My research is 4000 x 100 watt solar panels to make 1x100 watt solar panel.
Russia maybe is not such a poor country as some other countries on our planet. Yet, some houses in Russian villagies and small towns fo not have a bathroom at all.: no shower, no bath, no sink, and a small toilet cabin over a toiler pit.
I really don't understand Magattes anger against Björn / Germany / the west in general. She behaves as if everyone in the west is hostile to africans, which is the same kind of leftist ethos that got us here. Björn clearly wants to work with her and other nations, I don't see why she treats him like a rival.
"We [Germany] are not a role model for the world" Well, insofar as you are a cautionary tale, you are. Someone needs to do an update of "Der Struwwelpeter", on the theme of how today's Left (environmental, cultural, etc) is behaving in extremely self-destructive ways.
Australia has the cleanest, low surfer content coal in the world. Add good emission controls to lower the pollution content further, and it’s an important market not allowed to contribute to the world market. CO2 is not pollution, dirty coal plants like China and India are constantly building create pollution. C2 helps with earth greening and food production and we are at very low levels. In Canada 2 major cities dump raw sewage into our waterways causing pollution and they are never addressed.

While we are on the subject of conservation perhaps the West needs to consider preserving its culture look at the art from 200 years ago compared to what we're producing today or we could go back further a thousand even 2000 years ago contrasted to what we're doing today. We've allowed the erosion of our culture. The European presence on this planet is very small only 8.8% of the population.
Natural gas, lpg are the best fuels for in house use. They are clean, abundant, easy to supply anywhere. They are renewable, because they are of mineral abiogenic origin. Just for margin investment of "green deal" would be easy to address the home local energy problem for the poor African countries. Just good will, but not production "green hydrogen" with using African sunlight and transport those hydrogen to rich countries to "save" the planet from overheating.
Lady so deep in her victimisation that she is missing the rhetoric. Waiting 45 min to do shower...omg...you know who has that? Everyone that lived in the countryside...

Fight emotion with emotion? I love this panel but this was such a terrible take. In general, regardless of many important point she made Magatte Wade was speaking a bit too much from emotion in the first place in my opinion.
The African lady thinks her people are the only ones who grew up this way, without hot water. She knows nothing of human history of the world! I’m Puerto Rican. We are part of the United States and my family still deals with lack of basic utility of water electricity etc. There are people in the United States to this day who are poor and do not have basic service.

How this has been allowed in this day and age is beyond comprehension . So glad to see and hear a warrior in action with the experience and the heart of a Lion. May God Almighty provide exactly what you need not only for Africa but for all victims of poverty wherever they may be.
Well, that was stressful to watch. I wish they had more time and less pressure to rush their answers because I believe they have amazing information on how to achieve our common goal, sustainable affordable energy for all.
Thank you Jordan and your brilliant and passionate panelist’s.
There’s still hope for us all 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Very good, deep, informing and respectful discussion. Thank you!
Great discussion. Enjoyed Robert's corresponding Substack article this morning.
A term worth repeating in all related talks: "Human Flourishing"
"The other side has been leading with emotion. We need to lead with emotion as well." ... "I think we need to use sober analysis"
Bishop Barron is there at ARC as well -- one of his strategic proposals (well worth paying attention to) is "both / and". Aristotle outlined three rhetorical strategies - _ethos, pathos,_ and _logos,_ which translate roughly to credibility, emotion, and reason. The bishop says that the strongest arguments use ALL of these strategies. We should do that here as well.
I can't convey my gratitude enough, for these people coming together at the first ARC conference. Just a bit of constructive criticism, the sound volumes are quite low. Even at maximum volume, I am struggling to clearly hear the speakers in each of these videos that you've uploaded to UA-cam, where I am currently watching them. Hopefully the production quality (regarding sound) will be better next year. Cheers.
Not having that issue, may not be at the production end
I am having the same difficulty hearing
I grew up like most working class people in the UK in the 1970s with coal fired heating and hot water, so if your mum wasn't up early to make the fire, you had a freezing house and freezing water, we too had to wait more than 45 minutes to go from cold to warm water, but that didn't stop people inventing things. I'm sure that although some of the great inventors over the last couple of centuries did so by candle light, but it did not stop them inventing. Stop belly aching women, and realise that most of Africa is only 50 years behind the West in terms of creature comforts, and we put rockets on the moon during that period. Africa will change when Africans themselves change, and not blame everything on everybody else.
South African here, Africa will NEVER change. It loves taking money from the west but will never love the west. Africa must be given what it's called for and it must unite in CAR and Nigeria, they will never move forward if they western nations spoonfeed it.
But you already had gas and electricity by then, even if you made your own coal fire. I grew up in the 60s, and we had a kitchen stove that heated the water, or we used the immersion heater which required you to flick a switch. All the hard work was done long before we existed, and it was usually done by men who had the brains, and the time, to create technology, while their wives saw to their needs, like cooking, cleaning, child rearing, and making sure there was hot water.
@@linjubar But we didn't have gas until the end of the 70s as we, liked 70% of South Yorkshire at the time, lived in council houses, in the middle of the biggest coal field in the UK. I was born in the village that the film Kes was made, at the time it was released. If you've seen it you will know. You were either from down South or Middle class, to have heat at the flick of a switch in the 60s. She had her aunt there to warm the water, and probably Isac Newton had an aunt/maid too, but he still got up and questioned science. I've travelled all over Africa, and there are some middle and upper classes with their own maids, giving them ample time to invent. ...Get on with it woman ! :)
My brother worked in Africa on the oil rigs, "teaching" them to repair and maintain, he did most of it himself. Not everyone's a motivator.
@@hoboonwheels9289 They would have been far better at innovating I'm sure.... if they didn't have to wait 45 minutes for hot water ! :)
Was playing the new Starfield game, and while base-building, it really annoyed me how my base would lose so much energy and resource production at night when the sun was down, and when the wind wasn't blowing. Then it struck me how stupid it would be to depend on the weather like that in real life.
She is a warrior! She is right shame is useful in society when weilded properly and with grace.
Abundant energy is essential to human flourishing FOR ALL. Renewables can augment the energy systems. However, replacement is a reckless approach. As has been presented, demand for energy does not decline. Each year, demand for new energy ECLIPSES the added renewable energy. Therefore, removal of viable energy sources will result in population declines with the poorest countries experiencing the worst outcomes.
Excellent point.
"Renewables can augment the energy systems."
Wind and solar cannot.
00:01 Energy trade-offs: Africa faces deaths due to indoor air pollution while sacrificing economic growth and dignity.
02:32 Renewable energies have high upfront costs but lower emissions and can be cost-effective in the long run.
04:56 The global energy trade-off involves producing cheap, reliable, and secure energy while considering the natural environment.
06:59 China's dominance in critical minerals and renewable energy components poses a risk to global energy systems.
08:59 China's dominance in the supply chain of critical components poses defense vulnerability for the US
11:06 Living without basic amenities like electricity and heating is a challenge in many parts of Africa.
13:11 Germany's shift away from nuclear energy was driven by political ideology rather than practical reasons.
15:41 Replacing strong emotional ideology with something better
17:46 The need to rethink our energy mix to avoid the deaths of African women.
19:28 Advocate for not turning off renewable energies until alternative technologies are ready.
21:27 The speaker emphasizes the need to hold people accountable and force them to rethink their actions regarding renewable energies.
23:22 Energy realism and humanism are crucial, and we need more of both.
Gentle pushback on Magatte's claim that their struggles with energy prevent them from being productive...the entire Western world lived like that in the 1700's, and yet they still made remarkable advancements with their societies. In fact, I might think it was because of these hardships that they made such advancements. Please, I don't need negative remarks. I get what you are all thinking. But remember, this conference is about solving our problems without degrading Western society. And that seemed like a jab at Western society. Not really productive.
I agree. Love the video and content, but it seemed a bit too much like victimhood to me.
Africa has far more to contribute than this embarassing blustering victimhood
- please lets hear from its many talented engineers & problem solvers
- like everywhere we need their input far more than yet annother empty barrel activist making a lot of self justifying noise.
Some of it made a lot of sense but some unfortunately did not. Alarm bells are ringing when someone gets an ovation not for proposing common good solutions but for expressing their divisive identity
Thank you one and all. AOC needs to hear this!
She’s incapable of listening.
ARC. So much to listen to. So little time!
Thank you
Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.- Frank Herbert
The global south first needs to be energy sufficient, and get above poverty, before any talk of energy cut or shallow environmentalism...Bravo to the panelists!
Excellent varied but crucial viewpoints here !, All of them far far more credible than the usual soapbox drivel !
When you analise theactual use of gas fuel for power stations it is inthe west a very small percentage. Consequently if gas is used as the main provider of electricity and other supplies come from renewables, the overall reductions in CO2 would be massive and reduce the worlds output. Gas is the secret to China and India etc. In countries like Africa power could be stored in the warmth of the sun and released at night like the storage heaters we had with off peak elec. massive improvements in Africa could be financed from their natural resources, and overall the world could benefit from targeted fossilfuels restricted to elec grid only.
In addition CO2 is nothing in terms of global warming. Prof Will Happer has proved this we could increase CO2 to 800 ppm without any noticeable increase in temp. It’s all a matter of truth not propaganda.
She’s right!
Make your own wind power gennerator,very exciting!
Word!
China does control much of the "rare earth elements" markets. But this is really due to our own foolishness. Rare Earth elements are not really that rare. There are plenty of them available in the USA. However, when mining for rare earths, it almost always comes with Uranium and Thorium. Both are slightly radioactive. So... our regulations are such that when mining for rare earths, we get Uranium and Thorium that must be treated like radioactive waste. This drives up the costs to the point that no company wants to mine for rare earth elements in the USA. Interestingly, Thorium is about 3 times more abundant in the earths crust than Uranium and can be used as a nuclear fuel. It is not fissile, but it is fertile, meaning Thorium can be made to be nuclear fuel by absorbing a neutron. Turns out that a type of Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) called a LFTR hold great promise as a reactor design that can convert Thorium-232 (pretty much 100% of natural Thorium is Th-232) into Uranium-233, and consume (fission) the U-233 and produce lots of energy (about one million times as much energy per Kilogram of fuel compared to ANY fossil fuel). We can blame the Chinese for many things, but sometimes we excel at getting in our own way!
Cheap abundant energy for everyone on the planet seems like a great goal
The world needs to watch this.
A turban is something you wear on your head. The thing a windmill turns is a TURBINE.
Wielding energy is not the only factor required for eliminating poverty. Social issues, education, rule of law, and a supportive (not domineering or parasitic) government that nurtures human endeavour (rather than economically mines it through taxation).
Love ARC!
Im happy listening to someone lead the conversation besides Jordan Peterson! (Not trashing him, but really. )
great
Next conference maybe you can find the young man from India who invented the filtration system that pulls carbon out of the air and he's producing tile with it that they're using for flooring and Roofing in India. The idea of taking a pollutant and repurposing it into something renewable is fantastic. Another person you might consider finding and having her speak is the young scientist who discovered the bacteria that actually eats Plastics or petroleum products if there was a way to inject this into landfills that would be amazing
CO2 is not a pollutant and only add minimally to the measured temp rise (natural variability and urban heat island add the most).
@@chriskshaw7601 I think you misunderstood the point if the overall Global messages carbon is bad and Arc is trying to push back against that. Then highlighting new technologies that we can use alongside a fossil fuels creates a win-win for everyone. Conversely inversion and air quality in some places is pretty bad. Yes, I understand it's necessary for photosynthesis. However, like I said highlighting equitable outcomes in areas of poor air quality everybody wins. I live in a state in a valley surrounded by mountains and you can see the inversion.
@@BobBob-vx4ck ok, yes i missed the point. It is obvious to me that there are special and specific circumstances where ruinables can perform well. I am a fan of EVs etc where there is a good reason to use them. Sorry to miss the point.
The definition of poverty in the 21st century is not measured in monetary terms. Simple - if you don't have electricity you are in poverty. It's is an outrage that developing countries are not given loans and aid of all kind to build power plants - whatever works where, coal, gas, nuclear.
It's not the reaponsibilty of anyone else to pay them to do that. They need to do it for themselves. I'll be all for it when western countries have 0 problems of their own. But ubtil then, no thanks
The whole purpose of the IMF and World Bank has been to help poor countries develop. Many nations have their own unilateral aid programs - like USAID. However, if an African country wants to build solar panels somebody will pony up. If an African country wants to build a coal plant - that will actually deliver electricity - you can forget it unless China is around. (And they are.) Sri Lanka has been driven into a Green economic collapse - Dutch farmers are going out of business (try that in the USA) because of methane - and Western countries - the US included - are willing to squander billions trying to pursue technologies that can't possible replace fossil fuels especially as nuclear - for reasons hard to fathom - still has a bad name. So there you go: the most important thing the rich world can do to help the very poor world is to help them build an electrical grid and we won't do it. Africans, like the woman in this panel, are right to be outraged. And why would the West want to help? Economic development everywhere has meant much smaller families because they urbanize. The one part of the world where population continues to grow quickly is rural Africa.
The woman from Africa is a firebrand!!
& not much more - Africa has far more to contribute than this blustering victimhood
- I didn't hear any solutions fom her - only pre prepared excuses not to have any
- sad to say, this lady looks like a token inclusion - could ARC not find better?
- Africa has many talented problem solvers & engineers who could actualy contribute constructively.
Saying 3rd world countries need coal and gas and other centralized power plants is like saying they need land lines for telephones before they get cell phones. Decentralized power from solar and batteries can shortcut needing to build out an electrical grid and can be cheaper than the old ways of building out power grids. The governments of those countries are the problem more than how to get power.
Solar and battery can't solve Africa's power needs if you want them to overcome poverty
@@honkytonk4465 Creating Macro grids to distribute electricity is very expensive and creates single points of failure. Micro grids are much cheaper and easier to install. There is no need to go backwards and install outdated technologies to bring them out of poverty. There are already communities all over Africa that are being brought out of poverty with solar and batteries.
@@ThebacksonTo become self reliant and productive in manufacturing and agriculture will take coal, oil and gas to get them started. Heating a single shower with solar is not the same as powering a factory to provide products, jobs and security.
@@ronjon7942 You are just repeating the talking points of the oil and gas and coal industries. you are not taking into account the cost of the grid required with those technologies. A factory or plant can be built with the accompanying solar attached to it for half the price of powering it by coal or gas. Utility scale solar is one of the cheapest forms of electricity and it can be installed on site of the industries that need it without having to run power cables all over the country.
He had me right up until he mentioned Nuclear Energy. It is very expensive, and may not stack up, particularly as other technologies get cheaper and more reliable.
It doesn’t need to be. Its regulation is so out of control it takes far too long to bring a single nuclear power station online.
What "other technologies" are you thinking of?
Amazing. Venezuela and Senegal… same experiences. Interesting that’s African and South American government political leanings are very similar (socialist/communists) models. Makes you wonder 🤔
Can Someone guide me to the videos that also speak to what ios the way forward. what is the plan? How can we get involved as ARC's
From what I can tell, this is the first day of three. I think there is a bit of a theme for each of the days, so stay tuned, and you may find what you’re looking for in the next two days.
thank you!
All School children should ask their science teachers: how many 100w solar panels would it take to make 1x 100w solar panel? My research is 4000 x 100 watt solar panels to make 1x100 watt solar panel.
Russia maybe is not such a poor country as some other countries on our planet. Yet, some houses in Russian villagies and small towns fo not have a bathroom at all.: no shower, no bath, no sink, and a small toilet cabin over a toiler pit.
The purpose ifnthe energy hikes very quickly became greed, it takes a balanced person to resist....and there's very few BPs.
I really don't understand Magattes anger against Björn / Germany / the west in general. She behaves as if everyone in the west is hostile to africans, which is the same kind of leftist ethos that got us here. Björn clearly wants to work with her and other nations, I don't see why she treats him like a rival.
"We [Germany] are not a role model for the world"
Well, insofar as you are a cautionary tale, you are. Someone needs to do an update of "Der Struwwelpeter", on the theme of how today's Left (environmental, cultural, etc) is behaving in extremely self-destructive ways.
Except their behavior isn’t merely self destructive.
Then make batteries obsolete
Australia has the cleanest, low surfer content coal in the world. Add good emission controls to lower the pollution content further, and it’s an important market not allowed to contribute to the world market. CO2 is not pollution, dirty coal plants like China and India are constantly building create pollution. C2 helps with earth greening and food production and we are at very low levels. In Canada 2 major cities dump raw sewage into our waterways causing pollution and they are never addressed.

While we are on the subject of conservation perhaps the West needs to consider preserving its culture look at the art from 200 years ago compared to what we're producing today or we could go back further a thousand even 2000 years ago contrasted to what we're doing today. We've allowed the erosion of our culture. The European presence on this planet is very small only 8.8% of the population.
Natural gas, lpg are the best fuels for in house use. They are clean, abundant, easy to supply anywhere. They are renewable, because they are of mineral abiogenic origin. Just for margin investment of "green deal" would be easy to address the home local energy problem for the poor African countries. Just good will, but not production "green hydrogen" with using African sunlight and transport those hydrogen to rich countries to "save" the planet from overheating.
🤔 Energy should be free, to move mankind into the future 🤔
Lady so deep in her victimisation that she is missing the rhetoric. Waiting 45 min to do shower...omg...you know who has that? Everyone that lived in the countryside... I know 100% that Africa was indeed abused and has many lacking things but I also saw inspiring and eloquent Africans that could address this better than she does...
James Ofallen of Sovereign Nations and Glenn Beck why are not part of this movement.
WEF probably would sign.
16:26 This.
👏👏👏
Thorium reactors.
Fight emotion with emotion? I love this panel but this was such a terrible take. In general, regardless of many important point she made Magatte Wade was speaking a bit too much from emotion in the first place in my opinion.
Move to africa and be one energy power house
China also owns 99% of ebike batteries exploding.
I Loathe The CCP
🎉
The African lady thinks her people are the only ones who grew up this way, without hot water. She knows nothing of human history of the world! I’m Puerto Rican. We are part of the United States and my family still deals with lack of basic utility of water electricity etc. There are people in the United States to this day who are poor and do not have basic service. She needs to understand that most people in the world have these problems and until very recently most of the world dealt with these basic problems.
She’s not an idiot. She’s talking of the people of Africa because, well, she’s AFRICAN! If she was in America, she’d be crusading for those there.
😊
Horrible for us
You want to erasia to get total destruction of stealing???
Why does no one talk about the abundant Tidal and Methane power opportunities?
DeBono - "Think outside the Box".
I feel like this women is a victim
As though it's the West and Europeans fault that they do not have a civilized civilization
Wtf is she talking about?? What does African women dying have to do with energy 🤷🏽🤷🏽
