Excellent presentation! %100 renewable energy is direly necessary for our planet to survive. Thank you for uploading this, more people need to be informed about this.

Oh dear, I am old enough to remember scientific presentations in the 1970s, have they managed to find a 70s camera crew? Just love the seamless turning from camera to camera, very slick. Adds a lot. Hand gestures even better. Another Ted Talk financed by Monty python enterprises London ltd.

Thanks for making and sharing this. Question: do you have solutions in mind to store energy for when there's no sun or wind? I believe this is needed to go 100% renewable?

[adrees]

When there is a will, there is a way.

Watch Planet of the Humans for a slightly different take on the prospects for renewables.

Hey guys, anyone would mind helping out a high school kid? I can't find the definition of photovoltaic, I would really aprreciate if someone could explain this in 1 or 2 sentences. Thanks!

Luxembourg can cut the cost of their national soap production with this technology, the product the country is named after, and all 25 of its inhabitants will be a lot better off.

Trying a rapid transition away from fossil fuels would be a terrible idea. The only way it could be worst is trying to replace fossil fuels with "renewables". The only technology that can replace fossil fuels is advanced nuclear and as good as that is, it will still take a hundred years or so.

Actually the growth of the renewable is eksponentiel, not linear ( IPCC is making the same mistake) so dont cry

What a joke, we will still see diesel generators in basements as a backups. Though the sentiment is good, we're decades away from a world where "green energy" is everywhere. Theres thousands of places, this technology can even be used practically, fools quest. Germany, Denmark and California all have very large "green energy" and have major power outages and rolling blackouts. Forcing a country to play along with, even if its it's not viable, well then you play the game with people's sovereignty, detbing a country is moronic. Lifting people out of poverty, is what the current AGE has done, poverty being the #1 killer of humanity and messing with that, well to put a sovereign nation into poverty....
