We love PBS! So much better than Love Island or whatever is streaming on the apps. This convinced me to donate to my local station and get a PBS passport actually.
The water-energy nexus is well made. However, water is not directly required for electricity production via a gas turbine single pass generator or solar, for example. But it will likely be part of the construction phase (concrete, steel, etc.).
Absolutely blows my mind that clean water in the US is only a few years older than I am. Even more upsetting, there are people who want to UNDO that act.
Why bother, education has never had any effect on them Funny thing though, the next secretary of the DOE is an energy guy, problem is that the DOE is not about energy so much as about maintaining nuclear weapons with a small interest in energy,. While the new secretary knows about energy, he only knows fossil fuel energy, so won't know anything about the true mission of the DOE. Slightly better than Bidens choice of a lawyer who knew zippo about energy or nuclear weapons.
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion The first thing that came to mind was Fresh Water in the Middle East. Their Fresh Water is effectively an Energy Derivative due to all of it being Desalinated using a lot of Energy. However, the most exciting thing that comes to mind is the future of Resource Extraction via OTEC and Aquaculture platforms in the Equatorial Pacific.
TOO MANY humans needing and using too few resources. Wars will come as those who live in poverty start to develop and use resources that have been shiped out to richer countries.
Nope not too many humans, not all humans are consuming 90% of resources, its the rich. Its NOT Population of the many, its the Behaviour of the few. to Paraphrase Regan Billionaires aren't the solution...they ARE the Problem
Our world's history of colonialism and imperialism will hit us with the consequences, absolutely. But the world has plenty of resources. The hyper-rich can simply no longer afford to be greedy, like they have been. We'll need proactive reinvestment to prevent conflicts over scarce resources - if in case we couldn't be convinced to do this out of human compassion.
Energy is the second most valuable resource we need; the first is human ingenuity. The invention of the printing press ignited the scientific revolution, which ignited the industrial revolution, which eventually led to the digital revolution. All of capitalism is the result of engineering, not just banking and media. What are we doing to get more young people to pursue a career in science and engineering, not just for empire building but for all of humanity. We need tutors and mentors without borders. The doctors are leading the way!

So why are we still insisting that California's deserts are "great farmland"? No mention of agriculture's water usage? And why are we still listening to techbros pushing AI generation (a bubble-economy solution in search of a problem), and demanding ridiculous amounts of water and electricity?
american focused history always completely sidesteps the importance of canals in the uk. like we just went from horses to trains lol. much of the world has forgotten about the uk's waterway projects because american history dominates that part of the story. while the us was starting as a country, the uk was taking the early steps to allow the industrial revolution with the interm step of mass canal building.
@@KendallLeigh-f3l there is a couple brief mentions but they never talk about the uk canal network. you might be confusing sewers and aqueducts with the uk's very unique canal network which was used in the same way as railroads to move large amounts of goods, mostly coal and ore. what part of the video are you talking about? give me a time stamp lol.
UA-cam deletes my comments wherever I post them. It probably wasn't PBS. When you say anything critical of America or it's ally in the middle east you can expect your comment to disappear 😂😂

2 minutes into the documentary, i had the same thoughts: subscription and donation. Thank you PBS for making beautiful, complex and informative docs.
Who is “we?” You and your cats? Throw away more of your money, ya nerd 😂
Someone's jealous they are not a contestant on love island.... lol... PBS is the only real "reality" TV
This is really well made. I'd watch more of these.

Great job
Maravilloso como siempre pbs . Lo mejor de este mundo felicidades a todos los que hacen posible esto
a powerful trip

ok that intro goes hard
Excellent!!
Water is the SOURCE
Amazing
Dilution is the solution! 😊

Could we get the incoming Cabinet to watch this please?

The Romans were ahead of their time.
Not ahead of the Egyptians
What have the Romans ever done for us?
..only for now!
I like the idea of using reverse osmosis filtered water from air conditioning units or dehumidifiers 😎🤖
How about mass as the most valuable resource
E=mc2. Water is more than interconnected with energy. H2O=E
HI P-HEAD, WHAT'S UP?
Intelligent demise.

Yes we had to make life more complicated.
No need to link engineering to capitalism, buddy. It's just gross, yuck!

No river like the Mississippi in Europe, really?? No Rhine, Danube, Volga, etc. then? Seems like PBS should do geography documentaries for Americans.
Not even close in scale.
So why are we still insisting that California's deserts are "great farmland"? No mention of agriculture's water usage?
And why are we still listening to techbros pushing AI generation (a bubble-economy solution in search of a problem), and demanding ridiculous amounts of water and electricity?
44:41 Why are you building in the desert it's not very bright to building cities in the middle of a desert

Did you actually watch the above or just write this comment? Because I watched and there is 7 minutes all about canals in UK
@@KendallLeigh-f3l there is a couple brief mentions but they never talk about the uk canal network. you might be confusing sewers and aqueducts with the uk's very unique canal network which was used in the same way as railroads to move large amounts of goods, mostly coal and ore. what part of the video are you talking about? give me a time stamp lol.
Dont forget the great American canal system the gift from nature of the Mississippi river network!
Isn't Israel but Palestinian occupied towns...
no
Yeah I think their illegal occupation of Palestinian land might be a factor in why their neighbors don't want to help them out with water.
Why does this seem overproduced? Repetitive. Aimed at children?
Guy who's never watched PBS before voice: "I didn't like how accessible this video was"
Sending brine back into the ocean is catastrophic! Keep it, don't dispose it.
Where did my comment go???
Put it back up IOF
