- A global shift in the way the world produces energy has started. According to the International Energy Agency, the world will spend twice as much on clean energy in 2024, including solar, wind and nuclear, as it will on fossil fuels. John Dickerson explains.

And taking money away from OPEC and Russia is a plus.
Yuuup
Putin and Opec are making more per barrel than ever though.🤔
and more money to China lol
@@paulschulte1064 They have never gotten so much for their oil!
@@francismarion6400 Of course! When you manipulate the market that can happen. And you know whose not complaining? American oil companies gouging consumers. Hey capitalism.
The expansion of solar energy in the last five years is absolutely incredible.
Still not enough. How do we extract the resources to build and maintain all of these new panels? Are you capable of critical thought?
@@TheDoomWizard polysilica is not only easy to recycle, but it’s also easy to mine and process at scale. Panels last 30+ years, where as oil needs to constantly refuel thermal plants.
I think my critical thinking on the topic is sound.
Just so you fully understand, world carbon emissions are still rapidly increasing not decreasing, largely thanks to the consumption here in the West driving new coal power plants in China etc. If you want to understand the kind of carbon emission reductions required, its very simple, look back to 2020 during the Covid lockdowns, something close to that is required.
@danielbenner7583 avg life is 25 years and they lose 2 to 4 percent efficiency per year. Also not recycled
@@thomasjgour4678 No mechanical movement to wear out. Turbine w generators wear out incredibly fast in comparison, and have high maintenance. The waste produced is much less to the environment than burning and gassing turbines once made.
Excellent REAL news. More of this and less of the annoying talking heads. Educate and inform the electorate, don’t scare them.
Global warming is a scam, obviously you weren't aware.
Higher energy costs!! Ooooooh scarrry
Pay no attention to the higher insurance and food costs associated with climate change!

20 years too late and not enough but still welcome.
I have been charging two EV's with solar for over 10 years, the money I saved buying gasoline just paid for my new Rivian in cash.,
We should consider changing the definition of progress to this statement.
Good. It’s the biggest issue. Period
Nah
On a long enough time line, it's pretty hard to beat it.
@@dtaylor939 ya

You smart enough to work for NASA?
@@jayem8981 You've been fooled by a hoax. It's okay... I used to believe it too.
Clean energy is kind of a fascination with me and Ive studied it for years. Particularly, electricity which is everywhere to be harvested. I will say this, we all have VASTLY underestimated solar.
I’ll own that I never really thought about it, but… yeah, solar is CHEAP now, and that shouldn’t be surprising. They’re basically just spicy windows. Two panes of glass sandwiching some doped silicon, with a little wire and a connector and a frame. There’s no good reason for the long-term cost to be much more than the materials cost - and the main material is glass.

@@dtaylor939 you're the only one laughing.
@@jcup9313 No I'm not. More and more people are catching onto the hoax. I was a Democrat blue voter all my life, but I recently woke up to the truth and you will too.
No, I'm laughing too... and so are the rest of us solar engineers at DuPont Co...
But then we wouldn’t have started and then lost the war on terror. We would’ve spent those 100s of billions on fixing our problems and helping our people instead. Exactly how would mega corporations made record profits that way? You don’t know how the economy works. It exists to make the rich richer. It takes advantage of people. Not helps them. Duh.
So nice to hear some good news
We just might make it!
I think we need to focus on carbon capture at the source of major emissions and finding a way to temporarily store it while permanent means of storage are put in place.
@@ppuh6tfrz646carbon capture is a crutch to allow burning of fossil fuels to continue. I’d rather move to clean and stop fossil ASAP instead
It all comes down to the almighty dollar.we can't do what's right unless everyone gets their piece of the pie along the way!
Long overdue cleaner air and water will save millions of lives and defunding dictatorships and oligarchies is definitely a nice bonus as mentioned
yet the GOP wants to eliminate all spending on green energy…who would that benefit? Big Oil
Not only that, but they want to "drill baby drill!" They are disgustingly corrupt.
We are too late should have really seriously tackling this back in the 90s or early 2000
very good report, thank you very much for such a succinct summary
that is good news!
You know what India consumes 4 million barrels of oil per day and US nearly 20 million for one fourth of population when compared to the India. India wants to go green asap because it’s going to reduce its import bill.
Climate change is what first got me to start paying attention to politics when I was in high school a little over 10 years ago. It influenced my choice to major in electrical engineering so I could do some small part to help fix the problem. This is great to hear, and more reporting on good news please
I've been concerned about the environment ever since I was in grade school, and climate change ever since the early 90s. It's my #1 political issue. P.S. By coincidence, I too am a EE.
How is it possible that a 'professional' news service can discuss the shift toward clean energy without mentioning storage batteries? Batteries make the shift to renewables possible. Hopefully you can do better in future reports.
Aptera for the win 💪
This would not be happening if it was about saving the planet or being "green". It must be cheaper and better or it wouldn't happen. Distributed storage is the key to making grids easy to manage and more efficient.
Technology gets cheaper over time
@@The_Quaalude Not coal and nuke. The plants and fuel get more expensive every year. I used to work for a railroad, hauling coal was a license to print money.
@@frankcoffey True, unfortunately. Nukes are far cleaner and safer than hyped, too bad they are not as good as hyped either... I'd be happy if we could solve all the world's energy issues by building cheap reactors like SMRs or liquid thorium salt reactors that can produce power even when weather is bad... but those don't exist yet, they are just used as distraction like car companies promising us hydrogen cars so people would keep using ICE instead of buying an EV. I have literally seen people argue that we should stop building solar and wind farms and just wait for fusion power; what they were actually saying was that we should keep burning fossil fuels.
Excluding winter time, I use almost no grid power thanks to solar & battery (South Africa).
its pretty stupid for the industry to be dependent on oil/coal, once they are burnt, they need to dig more out of the ground to burn, the bad cycles just repeats itself, not the case with solar, once panels are made, they are good for atleast 20 years
They will be producing less oil but the price at the pump will go up all the same. The oil companies aren't going to like losing their cash cow.
Great job Biden
Great job Elon more like for the USA
Biden did the opposite. Go to check the IEA report yourselves. The news didn't tell the whole story is that in the past year, China installed more solar panels than US and EU combined. China is major contributor to provide affordable green energy products and produce green energy itself. In the contrary, EU and US have flatted investment in green energy production last year.
I’m running a window AC unit on solar right now
I'm running a whole house heat pump on solar and produce 2,000 kW-hr excess every year that goes into the grid.
Nice😎🙏
The International Energy Agency is not a reliable indicator of world electrical generation.
When you consider that you need to divide the installed capacity by three to four times for wind and four to five times for solar the expansion is not that great.
Global electrical demand is outstripping the increase in renewable expansion so it is actually losing rather than gaining.
Renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels.
Clean Energy is Money Business. Make Billions with Clean Energy.

Yes green energy led by China 😅
But . . . but . . . but . . . that's IMPOSSIBLE!
Literally living in Highlander 2 right now
In Australia power companies are charging if you overproduce energy and give you storage tax.
Tell me the fossil fuel lobby runs Australia without telling me the fossil fuel lobby runs Australia
I have given my meter back and self-consume my solar power. I use my EV for extra battery storage.
Big plus for energy security due to geopolitics
The reduction in oil demand is wonderful news for the world; however they miss that a 10% excess in production capacity will cut oil prices and increase demand.
My point is that we need to reduce demand and increase the cost of production through many currently unpopular methods, such as protecting federal land from exploration, and other things like carbon taxes to ensure that consumption and production fall together; that is the only way that price reduction won't trigger additional consumption and undo the gains from green energy.
This will get easier once average consumers stop buying gasoline, but will still require political will and strategy
Finally waking up. Too late.
0:16 “Unless [we reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030]…”
This seems completely unrealistic. Prove me wrong and I will kiss you. Try to get it down as much as we can, sure. But 50% in 5.5 years sounds impossible. All the more reason to take this problem seriously, because it means we can’t easily weasel our way out of it. Good video!
Sure
Will come to a screeching halt under MAGA.
The world will progress without the US.
It’ll fall further behind technologically
US conservatives already the US auto industry so far behind China that hey have to impose huge import taxes to prevent Americans from buying affordable cars from china
Vote blue
Vote blue to increase the population by another 50 million people. Because mass migration is going to save our environment.
The move to renewable did not stop with Trump.The increase extraction of oil and gas did not stop with Biden.. two cheeks of same arse
For the lives across the worlds sake 🙏 it needs to accelerate faster!!! By 2030 we need to be on a crash course toward green energy! Need to invest in freshwater catching and shifting toward solar and wind energy! The jobs will be there for the oil workers! If bidens smart hel sign legislation promising, oil workers, green energy jobs with good pay and benefits! 💚
Good news
Good
Yes more tax and tariffs on cheap EVs and solar panels from China
ELECTRICITY,,, the essential power ,,, Without it ALL stops your job the item you have been saving up for the thing you planned to do on the weekend all stops. So you like wind to do the job well 27yrs then the running costs eat you alive and as for solar that's at 12-15yrs then the output falls off to & Hydro looks to be given the cold shoulder Why well it's not green it lasts 100 plus years is upgrade able and 97% Recyclable wind is around 70% if you include the concrete slab and solar is about 30% of each panel
which idiot calls nuclear 3 mile island chernobyl sellafield fukushima clean energy. Maybe its because its so cheap though
Is that what china is doing?
Yes, there are sectors of China making a push to energy independence from renewables
Nope. Their focus is being the world greatest superpower.
@markmedley6849 ahhhh so I should be concerned, as an American, that they are buying up all our farm land..?
Heck no, they are playing for keeps.
@@francismarion6400 pray for our children and grandchildren
I genuinely love that they included nuclear in their list of clean energy sources.
only if people were vegetarian and used less ac
Green energy is nuclear energy, this solar and wind is great for low demand uses but it’s not scalable like natural gas and nuclear. Not to mention what those huge fields of solar panels will do countless ecosystems when growth leads them into the more urban areas, this is not a long term solution by any stretch of the imagination. But this is just a money transfer to try and get a new progressive generation of billionaires and shift the wealth power away from the old guard.
What harm does solar do to the ecosystem?
Sorry mate, gonna have to disagree. Renewables companies are building more battery storage plants (speaking from experience) while the efficiency of solar and wind continues to rise.
Solar and wind will never be 100% to the energy source for the entire county, but they can get significantly closer.
Truth.
@@Thety1243 solar and wind have a place no doubt but they are not realistically scalable to meet the ever growing demand. Good for residential and commercial properties but not industrial or even the rapidly growing demand of data centers across the world.
Batteries are pretty useless as well, you still need an energy source to charge them and the damage they cause both in building and destroying them is not sustainable. Add that to the amount of un disposable waste created by turbines and solar panels then you understand this is all a joke.
"Not to mention what those huge fields of solar panels will do countless ecosystems when growth leads them into the more urban areas," - this comment makes no sense to me. What ecosystems are going to be damaged when you put a solar panel on your roof? Or a car park has solar panels built over the parking spaces? Logic would suggest that solar panels in urban areas is the perfect location for them (all other things being equal) - they're where the demand is so no losses due to transmission distances, no greenfield sites being re-purposed for energy generation. And the social advantage that the generating systems are more widely owned than relying on a power company.
So where's your problem?
IDC about climate change, I just don't want to pay $$$$ for electricity anymore
So, install solar with battery storage. Cut your electric bill down to a few bucks a month. I think our biggest electric bill since installing solar has been under $20. We're a 3 person household with an electric vehicle and live in a year-round 80 degree or higher state which means we run A/C about 350 days a year. Yes, the cost is a lot up front, but there are tax incentives and local programs that can help lower the cost, but there are also low interest rate solar loans too. Run the numbers, get a few quotes, ask to visit properties that used each company to install including clients from pre-2020 and post-2020 just to make sure they aren't using stupid excuses to lower their quality. Oh, make sure they are licensed, insured, and bonded, as well as in good standing in your county so they can pull permits themselves instead of getting you involved, make sure they have at least one licensed/bonded/insured electrician employed that can come out and inspect the progress of your installation at any time you request it.
@@wendys6438🎉
@@wendys6438Agreed that’s what I did. I don’t have any utility bills and I also power my EVs from my solar
This is why we need cheap Chinese electric cars. So long as the tariffs on those cars remain, consumers will have more expensive cars that harm the environment.
We need more covid19 stay at home events to cut energy spending.
Plague would be more permanent 😂😂
Jokes are fun.
Also, if the US wants to join the adults in the discussion, it is free to have the debate on exactly how high carbon taxes should be.
If you want to change human behavior, you want to change the incentives under which they operate. Full stop.
@@SigFigNewton pay attention to the elections in Europe
@@SigFigNewton yeah go ahead and do that🤣🤣🤣
Still too late
Better than never
With trump it’s game over for solar.
100% chance of a US shift away from renewables starting now.
Im not here to argue with anyone but I'm very skeptical we will ever really go green. Many countries are in places where the sun doesn't shine enough for a large part of the year. Some of the best countries are North America and Australia. We also can generate electricity but we have real problems STORING electricity. the battery tech just is not good enough yet. Not to mention obtaining cobalt is going to be a real issue in the near future. The more I read about it the more I realize how complicated it really is. :/.
There are many storage solutions that can work well, for example pumped storage hydropower.
@GHinWI I'll have to read into that. I'll have to read Into that thanks for commenting
I’m glad for that idea, but you and all the other networks also will report how things are slowing down due to costs and lowered expectations due to technological setbacks or limitations.
I guess it just depends which segment you want to spend pessimism or positivity in.

Climate change and rising sea levels will make properties in low lying areas and coastal areas impossible to insure. Banks will be reluctant to give a mortgage for 15 or 30 years because the property may be under water. Selling properties to average buyers will become impossible in the future as banks and mortgage companies stop making loans for these properties. Coastal areas are a high risk for insurance and extreme weather like hurricanes. People will have to self insure and take the risk of loss. Condo associations are losing their insurance and if they find a new higher cost policy they will be passing on the higher costs to association members. Flooded cars from hurricanes fill the salvage lots. Insurance companies will raise rates and pass on the costs and risks to policy holders next year. Coastal properties will be confined to wealthy individuals that can buy properties with cash and self insure for losses from hurricanes or rising sea levels.
Well yes but there is a lot of good news too... Like uhhhhh, uhhhhh, I'll be back...
Rubbish. As stated by NASA , sea level rise is 3mm per year. That is 300mm every century. Even if it was 10mm a year humans build faster and old buildings values drop to zero anyway anyway. To put things in perspective sea level rise 14500 years ago was 60mm a year.
