Is Saudi Arabia really quitting oil?
Saudi Arabia has ambitious green energy goals, aiming to go carbon neutral by 2060. But what does that mean for their fossil-fuel production? Well, the Kingdom is aiming to have its cake and eat it too.

Disclaimer: After our deadline in April 2024, reports emerged that Saudi officials had greatly reduced the proposed size of The Line for budgetary reasons. At the time of publishing, those reports have not been officially confirmed.
We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world - and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.

Germany’s hidden leaking nuclear waste dump

Germany has a dirty little secret. In the middle of the country, deep underground, a radioactive waste dump has been leaking for decades.

Can this magic fuel clean up the shipping industry?
zhlédnutí 167KPřed 21 dnem
The shipping industry is responsible for three percent of global emissions. One of its best bets to get these down is fueling their vessels with ammonia. It releases no carbon when burnt and is cheaper than other alternative fuels like methanol. The catch: building a specialized engine is extremely difficult - and there's pretty much no green ammonia production today. So can it really fix shipp...

    The real irony is that Germany prefers buying expensive shale gas from other countries and transporting it across the world causing more CO2 emissions, when it has its own cheaply extractable shale gas reserves in Germany..

    I live in India and my home has never had an AC , doesn't have an AC even though this summer is the hottest by far. We keep the doors open for air circulation and the fans running. From someone who had to survive summers in a dorm without AC - Dampen your mattress during the daytime and let it evaporate. It will become cooler to sleep on by evening. Keep a wet towel in the room and put the fan on. It will dry and circulate cool air. Really nice in hot, dry summers. Table fans and pedestal fans are your friend. But small fans that you can position towards your face/head.

    Hydrogen is a fossil fuel con as the cheapest for of it comes from natural gas. And it has so little energy and massive infrastructure requirements and is very costly and requires extremely dangerous compression levels. It will never work. Electric vehicles that can be charged on ubiquitous electricity, indluding directly from the sun, is the future without a doubt. Investments in anything other than full EV is no better burning money directly.

    Why produce hydrogen only from fossil fuel? Store energy from solar or wind energy is better in hydrogen than in batteries. At least it is cleaner. Easier to refuel your hydrogen car at home by producing your own hydrogen than at fuel station. DW is miss leading, hydrogen got 3-4 times higher energy by weight than fossil fuel. This is why rocket was using hydrogen as fuel decades ago! By the way turning methane into hydrogen is a lot easier than from water ! So it can also solve another greenhouse effect gas problem! For sure hydrogen is our future energy source as nuclear fusion fuel is isotopes of hydrogen. Hydrogen is then the by product of the fusion fuel production!

    Some things make more sense for a government to run than individual companies. Think NASA. While NASA partners with commercial companies and spins off a lot of interesting tech, it's not exactly a get-rich-quick scheme for greedy investors. Greedy investors likely have fortified fiefdoms in Canada and Alaska for when the world gets too hot to grow food at the equators - they can sell us all the gasoline we can burn, then escape the bloody mess left over. Or maybe not, but we can see that maybe state-run industry has its upsides in certain instances.
