    Indian infrastructure can be properly designed if the government focuses more on it.

    I’m happy with my solar panels. I haven’t paid a cent for electricity in five years and in those five years the system paid for itself. I have another 5 years to sell srecs and make another 12k dollars. I don’t worry about using electricity!!

    Still waiting for the part - "why european cities are insanely well designed". Isn't it just a comparison b/w grid and less-grid (radial) planning? Elements that make a well-planned city imo: 1. Accessibility - for people (cars, bikes, bicycles, wheelchairs, etc.) to the places they wanna be at (workplaces, shops, schools, hospitals, houses (duh)). 2. Desiribility - for businesses (footfall), for communities (quality time and a good childhood for families, socialization for friends, training and support for sports...) 3. Reliability - utility services, transportation, food sources (x-marts, grocers), climate (control/adaptability), crime (to not happen) At the end of the day its all about compromises. From this video I understood that people compromise on distance to their desired destination because they have cars, people compromise on not having a car because they can access their destination in other ways. What makes them wanna go there though AND accept that compromise is a list of pros and cons of not living in that city. The pros outweigh the cons. If only you gave the pros, I'd have understood "why european cities are insanely well designed".

    funny how the water levels decline and there is panic. Now that it is risiing it is time to panic that it wont't go up forever. Keep moving to the desert and complain how there is no water and how and artificial lake can't supply the water due to humans buildiing artificial things somewhere else.

    China has some great ingenuities in building MEGA projects, in a fair amount of time. Storms that create large amounts of water can benefit other dry regions! It's time that every nation, create a piping system in flood zone areas to re-channel piping to areas of drought. Tunnel Boring Machines can be collecting water in flood zones and re-directing water to agriculture farmland. Underground tunneling systems keep the ground cool enough to bring clouds! Rising waters could be a plus to global warming with underground tunneling systems to keep the water from evaporating! Just a thought...Peace is the answer!

    The thing that truly sets DC apart from other American cities is it’s fantastic public transportation and mid-rise high-density urban design. It’s clearly very much inspired by Paris and does a very decent job functioning like it.

    Very nice video, but a few corrections: 1. The video implies that the National Mall Pierre L'Enfant planned extended to the Lincoln Memorial. When L'Enfant planned the city, the locaton of the Lincoln Memorial was part of the Potomac River and Mall L'Enfant envisioned only went to 17th Street, on the other side of where the Washington Monument was later built. 2. The map showing the Smithsonians include both the east and west buildings of the National Gallery of Art, however these are not part of the Smithsonian. 3. It's also odd that at the beginning of the video L'Enfant is credited for the wide avenues of Washington DC, but at the end it was stated the wide avenues were designed to accommodate cars, when cars weren't even invented a hundred years after L'Enfant's death. Still, a nice video and the explanation of how Washington DC inspired the design of Brasilia and New Dehli is very interesting.

    Lake mead is a man made Lake. The only environmental damage has been the flooding of the basin when the hoover dam was built in the 1930s. Low waters is a good thing as it restores the landscape back to its original form.

    It's called liquifration. Humans can't feel it. But the rotating earth has a slight vibration about it. If you take a big shallow bowl, make a pyramid of sand in it, fill half with water and give it some slight shaking moves, the sand pyramid soon dissapears

    I think it's important to mention that those taxes as well as road tolls are sort of painfully high. I did a calculation for an import of a used diesel car costs and ended up with a value comparable to its price. The road tolls are very diverse, the highest I've encountered so far was for entering any major city. As a tourist I drove two times into Bergen and paid like 50 euro. The residents have some discounted options, but the scale is similar, I think. Now imagine you have to commute to Oslo regularly. This makes owning a non-electric car extremely expensive in many cases.

    He gets it painfully wrong on charging in the United States. Tesla charging is fine works great and there are few locations you can’t go. Charging for everybody else is a disaster area especially the government 7.5 billion for 500k charging stations. They are currently at 8 chargers. Fortunately with Tesla opening to everybody else these problems with be fixed for non-Tesla EVs. USA power grid is going to be another issue especially on east cost which get little sunlight in winter. USA is slow to expand power which it need to expand quickly for EVs and computer particularly AI computation. All this while 20% percent of our power from nuclear will go offline as they are forced to close from being too old.

    I stopped taking the video seriously when it said New York, a city designed in the 17th and 18th centuries and where over half of the residents take public transit, was designed for the automobile. You can make the argument that the grid system was a lot easier to adapt to the automobile, but in no way was New York designed for it.
