Here Comes the Sun (Rob van Hattum, VPRO Backlight)
The sun could easily provide the planet with sufficient energy, if only we are willing to change and to invest in harvesting that solar energy…

Nuclear fusion is …
Nuclear fusion is not waste free (side reactions causes active isotopes), and waste tritium; is not for free after billions that has been funded tens of years before. It will be necessary to build more than one, because of problems with “first wall” or any others. It is super centralization and take power over people. After Bundestag Commission it is unrealistic, that NF will cover crucial part of earth demand before 2100. At this moment must be the energetic question solved completely.
Excellent video. …
Excellent video. Some really interesting points and nice footage.

‘A broken educations system’- US still has the best universities in the world and still a preferred place for intelligent people from all over the world for research, training and education. Every country needs to revamp primary education from time to time, USA’s time is now.
‘eight years of a mentally-retarded president’- much better than the one you have now. Who is planning to cap the number of smart qualified professionals from entering your nation.
OR, Nuclear FUsion. …
OR, Nuclear FUsion. Instead of harnessing weak energy rays from a distant star, make 100s of stars here on earth!
No emissions, no nuclear waste and almost free after the initial costs.
Google ITER
du do du do.
du do du do.

sadly, I feel like not much is going to change in the next four years as well. Our country is being destroyed by our own pathetic excesses.

The grass is just as jellow at the neighbors
Netherlands? Try …
Netherlands? Try living in the USA. A broken educations system, a mind-set that includes the “right” to drive HUGE smoking vehicles and eight years of a mentally-retarded president…. leave us 30 years behind. It is like living in a bad television program. Be glad you live in a civilized country.
Oh we are so behind …
Oh we are so behind in the Netherlands. Only because Shell has such a big finger in our politics. I hope that in about 5 year high efficient very cheap solar panels will be available and i will put my roof full of them.

ya ok but lets face it thatch childs play solar eater nuclear ectt…zero point is coming soon
And this is why the …
And this is why the US will have to invent a new war. This time agains the Europeans to sustain their way of life: free oil=free dollars=free world???
I hope we dont let us get used to a few wealthy families that want to sustain their wealth by convincing others to fight for them.

i only clicked on this for the beatles reference, hahah
In Denmark we made …
In Denmark we made up the wind energy bussiness in the 80-90’s… but be cause of the right wing parties taking over in 2001… Denmark got totally behind on solar and new renewable energy. Shame on you Anders Fogh Rasmussen!
Can you tell us …
Can you tell us more about the system?
How large with they be, how do you get the energy to shore? How much energy is lost in transmission? What is the cost? How long will it be until it’s ready? How long will it take to build them?
Will the Ocean life be effected in any way?
How about ships?
Thanks, looking forward to any answers you currently have?

want to know how long we will enjoy this new revolution?

Agreed Hawaiiguy,
Sending it to our minister of small business here in B.C. who’s been on the radio promoting yet another rare pristine valley destroying dam near Powell river.
Everyone I send this video to really gets it and believes this paradigm shift is totally viable with the right political will.
We have the answer …
We have the answer surrounding us and need to take the ropes to secure our future. The ocean around us is the answer. There is more power in the ocean swells than we can imagine. The energy is always there, day or night, wind or no wind, clouds or no clouds. I have been working on a design for an ocean power system that sits offshore, out of sight that will allow us a clean, non-environmental threatening source of power that will last forever, have minimal cost, and low maintenance.

Share this more widely you monkeys…less than 25,000 views: just like the antique media and oil companies would like it…
Not one large …
Not one large region, no, but theres certainly some areas of the world vastely better at generating it then others.
Its not just an issue of cloud cover and sunlight, but also avaliable land.
For instance, the UK would be hard pushed to meat demand from solar without importing quite a large distance.
Of course, if we ever get room temperatuire superconductors almost all the problems of moving electricity vanish overnight.
solar energy is …
solar energy is great, but it’s nature is to decentralize and empower the individual, and thus will not be replace the current big business paradigm..
we need to be much more EFFICIENT!! Less use means less money for providers etc..
Please consider that the current PROFIT system is threatened by some of these technologies..
We need to CHANGE THE PARADIGM in how we live!
It doesn’t have to …
It doesn’t have to travel thousands of miles. One large solar region is not really going to happen. There will be solar plants in a lot of countries that will deal with local demand in a liquid manner and will export to and import from their neighbors if needed.
Wind is also …
Wind is also expensive and suply fluctuates. I support both, wind and solar, as well as waves, tides and as well as nuclear and fusion (if it ever becomes available). You know, there are lots of people who rather think nuclear plants are safer then windturbanes. Atleast here in Estonia we have had huge windpowerplant projects that have all been rejected by the public.
Solar’s ability to …
Solar’s ability to compete with conventional energy sources — called grid parity — will open new markets and allow it to survive without subsidy. Though there are regional variations, most experts peg that cost at about $1 a watt.
Must admit I didnt …
Must admit I didnt think it was only 15%, I thought it would be double that.
Still, its a pretty heavy lose. Hydrogen wont deterate at all with distance, making it a bit more flexible.
Of course though, hydrogen pipelines arnt going to nearly be as safe/easy as electrical cables.
I’m not sure of the energy densitys, but maybe the quickest solution would be the littarly ship the stuff? Of course, then you lose energy in the transport itself.
Everything you said …
Everything you said equally applies to Wind, however. (and for that mater, Wave)
Its also worth pointing out that subsidies are needed because the inferstructure isnt there yet.
It cost a of a lot to get the current oil inferstructure, and thats with conviently pre-stored energy.
