this should have a billion
Views!! People like him is making me believe in humanity
I have watched this twice now, and I could watch it every day. I have been sharing it with a lot of people. I hope they watch it every day and they share it with other people. It makes SO MUCH SENSE and is SO DOABLE! We must demonstrate the will and the TOGETHERNESS. This is for ALL of us!
💯
Saul I love your plan and you have communicated it in the most concise and clear way. May all our politicians, business leaders and everybody take heed. This is a great transformation with massive wins for all. The only people who do not want this are vested interests profiting from the status quo. But really its even in their long term best interest. All power to you Saul!
Saul spells it out. So great to have a clear pathway. Electrify everything people.
Excellent presentation - would love to see a global version as well 🌏
Just sent this to The Connecticut Energy Efficiency Board (EEB) hoping they'll remove fossil fuel incentives from their just-released Energize CT consumer energy efficiency plan. Hard to believe they have not gotten the message that we need to end the fossil fuel era ASAP. Well it's hard when the utilities part of the equation.
This would be realistic if there wouldn’t be corrupt industries and lobbyists who see this plan as a threat to their self interests but I still hope, for our children
Saul you are very interesting to listen to HOWEVER you never talk about the reliability of a renewables based energy system & how reliability (& redundancy) is designed into the renewables based energy system. As an MIT graduate would you fly in an aircraft with no systems redundancy ? Can you elaborate on this aspect of your renewables based energy system?
Many year ago I was working in Western Australia and was told the tides up north were some of the biggest in the world. So if we put turbines on them and set up steel works in W.A the profit should be enormous.
Push geothermal heating and cooling. I have that for my home in MN. It works for homes where roof top solar is not an option due to trees which we want to keep to remove CO2 from atmosphere.
Man made volcanoes that release heavy minerals at a constant rate, how do we break down the “volcanoes” safely.
How do we make solar panels and batteries (that require repair and replacement) with out using heavy minerals, toxic chemicals that are toxic for the environment?
@@M.N.Baxtergreat question. There are a great many researchers and engineers working on this problem right now. And, if you do a quick Google, you’ll see specific examples very quickly.
Want to help? Do the research and engineering yourself.
The other part involves recycling those materials for re-use. Lots of companies doing this now too. Lots of opportunity if you want in on it.
In the meantime, we deploy as fast as we can with what we have, right now.
Life is about trade-offs between priorities. The priority here is the global warming. The good news is that toxic chemicals from the current fossil fuel infrastructure is far, far worse than the renewables. And it’s more expensive and inefficient than renewables. If we get rid of it, we eliminate that waste whilst deploying ever cleaner and less toxic renewables.
Make sense?
Good, get onboard now.
You really havent worked it all out. Like all greenies.... half thought out dreams. Rushing forward without a plan that actually works in a real world.
You failed to present an argument worthy of attention.
