Good to see a CNBC video where India is not being stereotyped to the 90s Chandini Chowk. We truly have come far in renewable energy. Jai Hind!!! 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Money, Consumption, Welfare
Me as Indian : YEAHH I GOT IT ALL !!
World : per capita*
*IMMA GONNA PRETEND I DIDNT SEE THAT*

[nmhalumni]

Costa Rica has 100% sustainable energy that lasts months. Even though it's a small country, the ability to sustain 100% of the country's energy needs should also be taken into account when determining the leaders in this field

[greatngugi]

You forgot to mention Africa😕, Kenya🇰🇪 is a geothermal powerhouse globally

[rane]

"not including hydropower"
not including 98% of norways power supply

[denggol]

129 megawatt-hours vs 150 megawatt is one of the most misguided comparison without viewers knowing it

[secretnobody]

"it had a few setbacks since"

*shows trump*

[Epicurean]

As an Indian I want to reach the rank higher (rank1) than what We produce (rank4)than consume(rank3), Just to establish equilibrium.

Disappointed to see this video equivocate energy and electricity, quite misleading

[CRYZO_RUST]

Should've made statistics for % of total power that is renewable energy

[forestpark]

I like that the reporter kinda moves like she’s in a rap battle at the start of the video.

[zntu]

fun fact : India is the only big country in the G 20 that following paris climate agriment on keeping global warming under control.
india is taking massive steps in renewable energy.

I'm dizzy😵😵😵 the camera man needs to chill on the herbs

[kharkanas]

Currently speaking, Kenya's renewable energy mix makes up to more than 90% of the total power produced and consumed. Clearly one of the highest in the world.

[DramaGuru]

India now ranks third in clean energy 🤟😊.

Imagine using gyms to harvest kinetic energy? Get paid for getting pumped yo XD

[Cormorant]

I remember once in a popular mechanics magazine a long time ago, they had an idea where you can use a special type of wind blade installed in the centre of highways in the cities and they would turn from the wind produced from passing cars and trucks. Its would produce enough power for the lights at the side of the highways.

Renewable energy still has plenty of room to grow in Brazil, especially solar, wind and biomass.

We should take steps at public level also to help our goverments in this step.

This video has pretty outdated info. Few things they missed:
-Hydroelectric is not necessarily green, as it releases greenhouse gases from the water reservoir effects
-The UAE is one of the largest solar producers in the world
-The Paris Agreement may not have been very effective or enforced
-Human produced energy is laughably small. pedaling a bike only produces enough energy to power a single light bulb
