Shoutout to all the APES students who got forced to watch this! It was actually a really interesting documentary.
I didn't know about this movie until I heard Jordan Peterson's interview with Scott. I teach Earth Science and sustainability at a highschool and this is the perfect video for my classes. Thank you Scott!
Scott Tinker is an oil and gas geologist. He's biased.
@Mankster23
He literally starts by looking at hydroelectric plants in Norway.
He goes back near the end to say if everyone had that geographic advantage we'd be done.
Then he buys an electric golf cart for local errands and puts solar panels over his driveway.
...
And he's the biased one?
I determined from watching it that you are so biased that you've gone anti intellectual and you're not worth listening to.

And now I'm going to watch SwitchOn. The next movie about the couple billion people without reliable energy.
Science assignment done.

I'm watching as it will be a part of my midterm exams. Thank you, Dr. Scott and the team. Great insight. Like you said, "It is not simple, but it's solvable "
hi other students watching this; click the gear in the video taskbar then turn it to either 1.25 speed or 1.5 speed. this saved my ADHD brain so much trouble lol
2x speed works best actually
I had the same idea. Attention problems can be turned into an asset when we harness the power of speed!
😎
I am watching this for school
Same.
@@minsitamerican7820 I know you
epsilon the non gamer ohhh I bet you do
Same
who else got sent here from your teacher?
me
hhh

@@ashleighhardman9387 bro this was easy I just looked up the answers
Me
well so many schools be using this video for assignments huh
Yessir
yup
yep
Yup
Yup same
I'm watching this not as an assignment but rather to be aware of surroundings today.
unique
Peterson's interview got me here
do people even watch videos like this who aren't watching it for school?
apparently just me lol
Yes
also watching for school and the part w hydrofracking is TOTALLY different from the other video my prof assigned a few weeks ago.... it was about water contamination and the barnett shale.. there were a lot of upset people about and water from hoses that can literally be set on fire...... so idk what they mean here about "we don't know of any cases" especially when they've put thousands of gallons of chemicals in there lol
This video was very helpful for me! Fanks for making this amashing video!
Jake Sanchez Can you help please to help me to answer my questions for this video ?
I wish he would have given a break down on how he came up with 20 million watts per person in the USA.
Can someone please tell me the answers to the assignment, I really need them!!!
no seriously
His conclusions start at 1:28:00. You can skip the whole video and start watching from there and understand it.
Hahha lol..direct to the point
Why that dude personally offended at Scott 8:34
Im watching this for my Science project
same bahaha
Got this from my teacher
I am from a high producing hydro-electricity place: Quebec. I would have like to hear more about the consequences of it: like the big water reservoirs and what it does to faune and flora. I am surprised that he spoke very quickly about it at the begging (mentioning Norway) and then it almost fall into oblivion, a supposedly very clean and stable energy. Also, I thought it was bizarre that all the people interviewed seemed to be so well intentioned as if money was secondary (no competition).
How could fracking not contaminate the soil and the water... where will be the additive in the end... in the atmosphere kinda?

Bros teacher made him write this
Thank you.
Great Job Longhorn!!! I graduated there in 86', proud of your thoughts and concern!!! I stand with you on all fronts!!

BTW Deep Horizon is a good movie that brings light to what happen that day.
So basically, in each area, we simply need to look at the resources in the area, the best place to use them, and then simplify the process to reproduce these large steps.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Basically the answer is to use all of the alternative energy fuels in the locations where they are most available and effective.

Very Well Explained, I like it
Perfect. I have rarely come across someone who has put together such a clear picture. Well done.

What are two resources and what are there strengths and weaknesses as a power source? Need help with a test
Can any student who has been assigned an assignment from this platform tell me how I submit writing prompt assignments? I have lost 5 assignments and have no idea how to turn them in and do not want to lose any more. Please and thank you!
I need to watch all of this for my unit final, can someone reply to me with a summary of the movie to read before I watch it?
The synopsis on Wikipedia is pretty good.
Very informative and easy to understand! Thanks!
Very well balanced and insightful research! Great job!

Vegetables and fruits are not inherently less energy intensive, and pastured meats are not necessarily more so and depending on climate, animals can harvest and spread fertilizer much of the year to renew pasture land. Vegetable sector is heavy with pesticides and agriculture equipment with a huge fossil fuel footprint. So both Vegetables and Meat industry are barely different in energy output. Also deforestation for the farming of avacado, coffee and soy beans has seen the razing of the Cerrado and the Gran Chaco forests as well as huge amounts annually of the Amazon rainforest ...
10:48 SANTA IS THAT YOU!!!!
loved this it shows how life could change
I know I am so late to the table that there is little chance of this being seen.... Canada's problems with fracking are much different than what your film presented. And I want to know if you have ever looked at Thorium - Canada is FULL of it! It was used for almost 3 decades in the US between 1962 and 1989.... safe - cannot 'blow', much less time for the breakdown, cannot cause disease, and cheaper than coal. I did a Master class with Gregg Braden last winter and I do hope you know of him - you would like each other! He thinks of Thorium as an interim fuel - it is also easy to convert a nuclear plant to a thorium plant.... it is a win, win situation! 1T of thorium to 250 T of nuclear for the same amount of power produced.... I believe India is in the middle of building 5 plants.
It would make a great impact if everyone could watch this video and have broader understand for energy transition. It could change independants daily behaviour in no time :)
Hello CCC Earth Science class 👍
That ERCOT part didn't age well....
I'm glad nuclear was mentioned, however brief. In my opinion, it really is the best option for wide-scale, clean energy and the quickest was to put the coal and gas industries in their graves. It's beyond time to move forward.
Also, nuclear is as reliable as coal and gas. Renewables just aren't dependable, unfortunately.
Also they are dangerous and the most expensive.
Regardless of safety or dependability, there is one concern with nuclear electricity. Electricity is, for the most part, generated immediately as it's used, and power plants need to constantly re-adjust their power output to react instantaneously to the variable changes in demand. Nuclear plants just can't do that. As such, current plants just satisfy the baseload power (as in, you know the demand for electricity will always be greater than a certain amount 24/7), while other sources are needed to satisfy the instantaneous demand. If we are to go for the nuclear option (excuse the pun), we'd need to also invest in energy storage technology to ensure we can release electricity exactly as per the demand. (Coal also has a similar problem, though not nearly as bad.)
why does he remind me of mike rowe
I&S winter break (our heart) hw.
Isabel Arribas sent me here
FEELY.....
to any other osu students watching to study for Energy Business w/ Prof Simkins, im so sorry
Isn’t bio fuels premature petroleum?
Surely, the warmer countries do not use the same amount of energy as the cold climates...
57:30
Anyone else think the guy looks like Casey Neistat?
14:35
He said it costs $300 million to 'develop and research' a carbon capture system not to build and implement.
Why did he assume it takes trillions total? Unless his math is $300 million for each coal plant?
lies everywhere
Kinda lost on that as well. Didn't hear a price on what it would cost to install such a thing.
hi
It's necessary for human.

All made possible by the petrochemical industry.
Here’s what the whole presentation missed completely: The petrochemical industry isn’t just about fueling vehicles. It affects everything in our supply chain. Economy of scale and ready availability means we have an affordable and rich lifestyle full of things people, most notably ESG proponents, take for granted.
To add, you can live in a grass skirt and eat worms in the USA, only to have Chinese and Indians make all the CO2 you never will. We can (and are) drastically harming our economy and industry to no avail. It would FEEL good, but it would be like not drinking alcohol to stop drunk driving while your neighbor is a raging alcoholic.
As a side note, look up David Crane, the guy who used to be a CEO at NRG in the film, make your own deductions from there on how we got to where we are with energy poverty. This isn’t about what makes sense to do.
I believe in the middle ground where you dont gaslight people with or without electric cars but still try to burn less coal
Only thing is I think switching to a plant based diet should have been mentioned as the number one way to save energy/resources.
How does a plant based diet alter energy sector? The same supply and demand is required as with anything else....
@@mondomacabromajor5731 Plants require less energy to farm, but I they also wouldn't be the number one way to conserve energy
@@mondomacabromajor5731 With meat and other animal products, more energy is required to grow feed crops and transport/butcher/process the animals than if we ate crops directly.

@@mondomacabromajor5731 Well whatever the reasons are, it takes about 11 calories of plant matter to raise a calorie of beef. Even if that doesn't take fertilizer spreading into account, you can't really call that "barely different in energy output"
