Its a long one, but a great primer on renewables if you arent into the topic.
This is a bit of odd praise, but he also does some excellent math to compare how much space and resources we waste on single use gasoline compared to what 30+ year solar panels using simliar space would net us for near zero cost long term.
The numbers arent even close, like how we currently use an 120 acre ethonol corn field to power 2 million miles in gasoline cars, or we could use a 120 acre solar farm to generate 72 million miles in electric cars. 2 vs 72 million for the same footprint and somehow the solar is also cheaper long term. A pretty easy choice.
EDIT:
Just finished it. The last 30 minutes slaps like a bad motherfucker too. It should be played in fucking civics classes.
I was thinking about the corn field -> solar farm conversion he mentioned in the video, and I thought “jeez, if they did that, then they could actually honest to god power their AI data centers and still be green!”
