Solomon Goldstein-Rose: How much clean electricity do we really need? | TED Countdown
To fight climate change, we need to clean up the global electricity system by replacing fossil fuel power plants with clean generation — right? Climate author Solomon Goldstein-Rose thinks we need to do much more than that. Replacement isn’t enough, he explains in this compelling talk: we need to rapidly develop a new global system…

You got your list of generating methods wrong. Nuclear power should be the first priority as it is the cleanest and safest. It kills the least number of people per kilowatt hour generated.
Wind power should be abandoned because; it kills birds, bats and insects on a monstrously absurd level and is unbelievably expensive in terms of resources versus power generated.
Ben Carter

So who’s supposed to pay for all of this?
Also, wind farms are bird-o-matics and bat-o-matics. What’s your answer to this?
Clearing large areas of land for solar is anti-environment. What’s your answer to this?
The answer to the last two questions is mostly nuclear energy.

Nuclear energy is a ticking time bomb. We have no good plans for the waste. If there is a disaster that causes an industrial collapse, which is likely, the waste storage sites won’t be able to pump water to cool waste. That’s a huge problem no one wants to talk about. Not to mention events like Fukushima or a war could cause a radioactive disaster.
Other renewables destroy huge pieces of land in the form of mining and depend on fossil inputs for mining, refining, and manufacturing. The obvious solution is to deindustrialize and engage in a planetary permaculture process.

Countries need to tap into waste water management systems and other such sustainable technologies along with clean and renewable energy. Estimates say if we are able to recycle all the waste water that is currently left untreated then we will have enough clean drinkable water for the entire society. Wastage of food also needs to be given equal priority and we need to generate awareness in people regarding wasted food.

@MajkaSrajka downsizing doesn’t have to be dystopian. Sustainable cities are a lie anyways. Ever hear of permaculture? Ever hear of human beings who take responsibility to meet their own food needs as individuals and communities? India certainly has more of this than the US does. The rest of the world is industrializing so they can be consumer markets for western industrial goods and services. Not because the people of those countries want that, but because their governments have been hijacked by Western corporations and their proxy states.

This video is disclosing facts that everyone could be aware of by reading two or three wikipedia articles. However, obviously the German government is not intelligent enough to be aware of simple facts. I am German. Now with the Greens in government I am really keen to know how they will make Germany survive without the last six nuclear reactors, three being shut down January 1st 2022, last three shut down end of 2022. Completely lunatic. This is only done due to ideologic reasons, the Greens are too proud to comit that they were and are wrong. They will neither save climate, nor they will take advantage of technological advantages, they will spoil German economy and the gobal climate. Shame on them…..

This shows whatever plans out there for fusion power needs to get it’s schedule waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay faster.
We’d need at least 2nd or 3rd generation viable fusion plants by 2050 for it to be a good contributor to this.
Maybe as a follow up source of further growth of energy consumption after 2050.

Well Said Solomon.
King Solomon’s wisdom is legendary.
Here is a important piece of the puzzle for Consideration. Better storage technologies for energy generated during periods of low usage, so that they can be supplied to users during periods of high demand.
Making the dream of creating a slightly better world is certainly achievable in the current century century, as long as the world comes together as one.

The political power of the oil, gas and extractive industries — and the powerplants and utilities that deliver them is immense. Most of them make money through status quo processes. This virtually guarantees that change will come in excruciatingly slow centimeters at a time.
