just discovered this channel, but really dig it!

Great video. One issue with home solar is power companies will start to charge distribution cost for putting power back onto the grid. Grid maintenance is becoming more and more costly and with less power being used from grid. Power companies will need to find a way to pay for infrastructure that currently they do but charge solar owners for.

Nothing to do with climate, it's all about the money.

Well not really cause to produce high quality and long lasting solar pannels in high enough number. And maintain it. You need an insane ammount of ressources and qualified employees Which gonna make price of electricity non affordable

You badly need a reality check - Solar power industry employs so few workers that it is actually a problem - a typical solar power plant employs 3-4 people for maintenance!

I am wondering why do all the nuclear energy lovers lead their lives on KZread?! I really wonder why do they comment on a video on solar energy, because it never tried to replace the base load provided by nuclear!

Because nuclear solves problems for high demand without having to worry with all the downsides of solar Nuclear energy is clean and safe if no one doesn’t anything stupid Nuclear, Hydro and Solar are the way to go… and will vary accordingly to each country’s reality That said, nuclear is better to power industries… solar can power towns Different ballparks

I have to say you are hella cute wow

Check this; Solar panels: Turning metallurgical grade silicon into polysilicon creates the very toxic compound silicon tetrachloride. Hydrochloric acid+metallurgical grade silicon= trichlorosilanes. 3-4 tons of toxic silicon tetrachloride for every ton of polysilicon. You have to install new solar panels every 25 to 30 years. The old ones will end up in landfills. They are really hard to recycle. Anddd in the 1.1 year did they calculated the co2 it costs to produce those batteries? I’m clad you said that hydrogen is costing a lot of energy. Highly advice you to read; Apocalypse Never from Michael Shellenberger. And yes. I like nuclear energy. Solar panels are for RV’s etc.

Even if those solar panels go into landfill at least they won't kill anything that comes near them for the next 100,000 years like the contents of any decommissioned nuclear reactor after 40 years, not to mention Hanford, Fukushima, and 30,000 square kilometers around the coffin at Chernobyl.

@@basilmcdonnell9807 Oh Yes ! They do kill. In sun rich and solar panel very rich Portugal an entire forest trees were chopped down and hundreds of deer , Wild boar and other animals were killed to install solar panels. The slaughter of animals and old trees shocked the all nation because it never happened in such a large scale , not even to build the country's largest water dams and motorways. Don't be naive , have you heard about the Amazon rainforest fires from Greta , the media , Hollywood celebrities and politicians lately ? No , you did not but NASA photos show that this year they have beaten all time records.

@@basilmcdonnell9807 Yeah... so we need to develop less harmful nuclear power that can also be deployed as small units... OR combined into large ones. This would also reduce transmission costs and infrastructure. Can you say... thorium ?

Over 50 years ago, famous physicist Richard Feynman said : "The vacuum of 'empty space' appears to be an energy reservoir of immense capacity that makes nuclear power seem old fashioned. The amount of energy available in one cubic centimeter of the vacuum [ambient space] is much greater than the energy density in an atomic nucleus." A few people, like Nikola Tesla have constructed working models, but were suppressed. The amount of magnetic energy available from a coil, B, is equal to the number of Turns, times the Amps applied, ÷ the coil width. B = (Turns)(Amps)÷Coil Width (look up "Brooks Coil" for specifics) Smaller diameter wires, like Room-Temperature Superconductors allow for 100s or 1000s of times more Turns, [realized in the late 50s] proportionately reducing the required input Amps. This produces the smallest, least expensive, most powerful generators (MagAmps) that don't require rare earth materials. All that is required is iron, silicone, & room-temperature superconductors. We have several good candidate Room-Temperature superconductor materials. Here are a few of the old candidates : Graphene Has a Current Density a Million Times that of Copper at Room Temperature. www.zdnet.com/the-10-strangest-facts-about-graphene-3040093050/ 35 Room-Temperature Superconductors Discovered www.superconductors.org/158C155C.htm Today, there are better tiny diameter room-temperature superconductor candidates.

Here in South Africa we have a lot of experience with private homes installing solar panels due to government power restrictions (known as loadshedding); when installing an inverter, it has to backed by solar panels.

My guy. Hydrogen is not an energy source. You cannot "substitute" hydrogen for coal in steel production.

www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/BRIE/2020/641552/EPRS_BRI(2020)641552_EN.pdf You can! Hydrogen is IMO the most likely replacement energy for coking coal in steel production in the future. It isn't an energy "source," of course, it's an energy storage method, can be created via solar/wind/whatever.
