    Non of these, especially that car thing is “green” ????

      What do you mean?

    • @Fireball_00

      December 26, 2024 at 9:30 am

      They mean green as in environmental impact

    • @zunedog31

      December 26, 2024 at 9:39 am

      No tail pipe emissions make it green.

    Major corporations: “Hmmm. These ‘green items’ could impact our profits. Time to bribe more politicians to stop their development.”

    I’m excited about small modular reactors.

    • @IlIlIlIlIlIlIlIl-v9h

      December 26, 2024 at 2:21 pm

      Me too!

    • @stickynorth

      December 26, 2024 at 5:23 pm

      Ditto! There are just too many options for CNET not to do a separate spin off video on it!

  7. @urbanstrencan

    December 26, 2024 at 1:51 pm

    Really hope that the most of them come to fruition ❤.
    Great video

  8. @glennalexon1530

    December 26, 2024 at 2:21 pm

    So, you copied a few product videos and added a narrator? This is beneath you, CNET. You could have at least sprung for color-grading.

    • @yourthebest50

      December 26, 2024 at 2:24 pm

      Quit your yapping, lil’ bro

    • @zivzulander

      December 26, 2024 at 3:19 pm

      Explain how much it costs to produce the video, including all aspects of labor and production, vs how much revenue you think they bring in from youtube ad revenue.

    • @gtek1357

      December 26, 2024 at 4:20 pm

      I think a summary is probably a good way to look at the year, no?

  9. @BrianBetron

    December 26, 2024 at 3:34 pm

    Suggestion: get Jesse an lapel mic for better audio.

  10. @benbrown8258

    December 26, 2024 at 5:04 pm

    Excited about Aptera, but also passenger blimps and energy storage beyond electrical.

    • @stickynorth

      December 26, 2024 at 5:25 pm

      I really want Aptera to succeed. The fact it almost made it into production back in 2008 hurts my heart….

  11. @stickynorth

    December 26, 2024 at 5:25 pm

    Nuclear renaissance continues… SMR’s, Thorium reactors, portable transport based reactors for cargo ships, faster conventional builds for GW-scale plants, progress on fusion power… Too many for CNET not to do a separate story on it!

    • @skierpage

      December 28, 2024 at 7:13 pm

      They did, and so did Bloomberg. There are no new conventional reactors planned in the USA, NuScale canceled plans to build its small modular reactor, and none of the other molten sodium liquid fluoride thorium modular blah blah designs has regulatory approval let alone a working prototype. It’s R&D that might pay off in the 2030s.

  12. @VedaSay

    December 26, 2024 at 9:23 pm

    Huge fan of Aptera!

  13. @GTO20122012

    December 26, 2024 at 9:35 pm

    What’s taking Aptera soo long to release it to market …. Since 2019 and we still waiting to see it in the wild

    • @stephencooper3774

      December 26, 2024 at 10:03 pm

      All new technology , R & D into a new vehicle , & tooling , with funding aggravations . None of it is easy .

    • @skierpage

      December 28, 2024 at 7:20 pm

      If and when Aptera enters volume production, it will actually have to write big checks. Since the market for an expensive 7 foot-wide tricycle weirdmobile is limited, it is unlikely to get the necessary investment, so it will quickly run out of money and follow the Lightyear and Sono Sion solar electric vehicles, the Arcimoto three-wheeler, and Fisker into bankruptcy. Sad reality.

    It’s Apple and Samsung who brings user replaceable battery first (again in case of Copycat Samsung

    Bring back replaceable batteries, YES PLEASE!

    • @skierpage

      December 28, 2024 at 6:56 pm

      We need standards for interchangeable battery packs at larger sizes: for power tools, then stand-up scooters/e-bikes, then ride-on scooters and motorcycles.

  17. @WiwatChang

    December 27, 2024 at 2:21 am

    Look forward to commercialization of non-lithium batteries with Li-Ion efficiency.

  18. @hammertlme

    December 27, 2024 at 2:35 am

    Aptera will have a major effect on the industry!

    • @skierpage

      December 28, 2024 at 7:11 pm

      Aptera does not have the money to begin production. The founders know that the moment they start volume production Aptera will go from losing millions of dollars a month to losing $100M every quarter. It’s great that they’re focusing on efficiency, but there isn’t enough demand to ever make a 7-foot-wide three-wheeler profitable. Arcimoto went bust making a similar less ambitious vehicle.

  19. @NAY2GAS

    December 27, 2024 at 4:59 am

    Can’t wait for my Aptera!!!

  20. @RichTallent

    December 27, 2024 at 9:41 am

    Green tech I’m looking forward to is the iPhone 17 in green. Obviously.

  21. @theoldar

    December 27, 2024 at 1:17 pm

    Hey, hadn’t you heard? Unless it’s made by Elon all green tech is “woke”, and will be stamped out by the incoming administration.

  22. @Watch-0w1

    December 27, 2024 at 1:17 pm

    Ballon look alien. Are those the nj drone?

  23. @NotJustJimmy

    December 28, 2024 at 1:04 am

    I’m hopeful hearing the EU moving towards making every cellphone have a replaceable battery.

  24. @NotJustJimmy

    December 28, 2024 at 1:05 am

    Mass transit options and more walkable cities should be a focus before “cars of the future.”

  25. @skierpage

    December 28, 2024 at 7:23 pm

    These are mostly entertaining demonstrations and long shots; sadly, most will fail. The gargantuan green tech story will continue to be the massive worldwide increase in installations of Gigawatts of ever-cheaper solar panels and battery storage.

  26. @shaked2441

    December 29, 2024 at 1:58 am

    Awesome video 🙂
    Can I ask for the background music?
