So if all we did was decide to stop growing corn to turn into ethanol, and we used only that land for generating only solar power, we’d be able to generate 84% more electricity on an annual basis than we do today from all of our energy sources.
Damn. Factorio lied to me about the space efficiency of solar panels.
This episode is fucking amazing and so cathartic.
Hear, and I cannot stress this enough, hear.
The second ending is the best part for me. So nice to see him bring up the point about the Declaration of Independence as it was something I was thinking about recently as well.
As a European, I almost felt American after watching this speech. It was a good speech.
Like watching a down to earth relative or friend you have known your whole life, suddenly get angry. Did not see it coming. A+ tier video. Gave me goosebumps and prob about 15% more moisture in my eyes during the last part
Having not seen the video yet, it’s wild that these two topics are related.
My favourite video of the year so far
Absolutely the best video I have seen in a while. It changed my perspective on renewables. The infrastructure part was ingenious
The best.
For your thumbnail.
Once you load the video thumnails you can copy the url into the post image url.
I dont understand. The video pops up with a thumbnail on piefed. Did it not on lemmy or something?
If that’s the case then no need to worry about it.
So renewable energy is not better? Can someone please supply a non-clickbait title?
Renewable is better, by tons. The title is accurate in that people talking about solar and batteries being bad for various reasons is misleading and wrong.
Does he talk about when commercial solar plants use herbicides? to me that’s the main downside
The target of the title might have been the USA (wokisme and stuff)
Got confused to see the thumbnail and the title together, because I love his video and was surprised before watching

Generally I’m very skeptical about titles like these thinking that there’s some sort of misinformation or whitewashing done to continue to push fossil fuels.
However, this guy is incredible and one of my favorite YouTubers of all time. He can make almost anything interesting. His level of being researched, educated, and thorough is almost unmatched. Thanks for sharing, OP.
