BMW is saving just 1 house worth usage of natural gas a day. Pretty meaningless when it comes to a factory of that size. A canadian household uses 2,500 square meters a year so if the factory saves 200 per month it is on par of 1 houses usage. Nothing really to get up and jump around about. If there was only 2 houses in the whole world then it would be a big saving. It certainly isn’t going to make a difference….maybe 0.00000000000000000001%

Good on you. A sensible person who acts. Good luck in your career if you get a good one 👍

Yea and they are the loudest to shout that we need clean energy. You also get the ones that go on about birds getting killed by the blades. My argument to one was that what is the point of saving a few birds if there ends up no life at all because we did nothing. The answer I got back was they should be stopped because they are killing some birds. This went around and around as they had no answer. All they cared about was some birds but did not address the logical point that in 200 years there will be no birds or life to save because we did nothing at all. There is always a cost and 1/2 million birds worldwide a year is a lot but it does not compare to billions lost if we do nothing.

@TrogdorBurnin8or Yea the flammability sounds about right with bamboo. It is rock hard and treating it with some sort of flame retardant seems like it would be a more difficult job than plywood. Maybe I am wrong thinking that.

Oil conglomerates stopped it. Hemp can make plastics and Mr Oil baron does not like that.

It is okay if you are a youtube creator who can build a brand new super home and then show it off to the people who made that possible, when they themselves struggle.

@EzraM5 And plastics so Mr big shot oil baron does not want that stuff anywhere near the marketplace. The amount of stuff it can make would not put a dent in their sales, it would ruin them.

No because you will always need more energy to push said projectile than what you get out. It is like saying it takes a 20lb sledgehammer to crack a nut but I will invent a 100g pin hammer with the same force to do the same job. Whatever way you look at it, the energy created by fusing a few atoms will never produce enough force to repeat it over and over again forever. We know how much force is needed to fuse said atoms and there is nothing on Earth that we can do to find a way of using less force to create that reaction. All it is doing is keeping a few well paid scientists in jobs. As long as they keep the notion of it being possible, the funding will keep flowing. If you was being paid 100k+ a year, would you stand up and say that it was impossible and stand to lose your lucrative career and annual salary? It is a grift.

@Nobody-Nowhere Exactly. Somebody that speaks the truth. So many people blindly believe in the impossible. The world is full of chumps.

People want longer range cars but most drive around their city most of the time. Just get sodium batteries and if once or twice a year they go on a long trip, then so what if they have to charge a few more times to get to where they are going. If you can charge the battery within 20 minutes then it is a break from driving every couple of hundred miles. People who regularly make long trips can have the lithium.

It is so annoying waiting year after year for these to change me to market. I bet in 3 years we will still be waiting.

People listen to too much main stream media which loves a bit of fear. There is always the carbon fossil fuels industry that do not want any more nuclear. Man is such a thick species that needs politicians with backbones to say no more to these big money men who just think of their industries and bribe self serving politicians.

Or the right type of window.

The 13 investors are going to see massive returns if this kicks off.

@aaronsmith3115 Wow the brain of our time has spoken

@tomgunton Undecided. The clue is in the title.

@skidmoda Ah yes but you must not tell people that. Nuclear is bad economically and our friends that like making a nice and easy buck or two can’t make money off that. It is a bit like the Hemp plant which is one of the most versatile plants out there. They used the cannabis thing to make it illegal because it would have interfered with a lot of big business. 3 mile Island was a nothing burger, Fukushima had 0 direct deaths and only Chenobyl had just over 30 direct deaths as a result of explosion and the clean up operation. Todays plants are much more safer than them and like anything, man learns from past mistakes and gets better. A quick buck can’t be made on a project that takes 7 years to complete so you hear all this “we need to do something to save the world” and it is there right in front of them. They don’t care one iota. They just use the scare tactics so they can make money regardless of the costs to the environment and people.

CO2 is the best out of all the storage systems for grid storage from what I have seen when it comes to components, safety and efficiency. I suppose these could be good for smaller applications. I do not see the point of a hundred different types of storage solutions where many have toxic components.

What? Why are you asking a question like that? Email the man in the know in the video for those answers. Also if you are so into the science of this geology why are you not working for a big company that is dealing in this science? Me personally wouldn’t ask that question because if I did I certainly wouldn’t be sitting around asking such questions, I would be in the thick of it and trying to get a job as I would feel competent as you do and applying to work one of these experimental digs. Or are you just winging it as if you are in the know?

So if the turbines are turned off, does that mean the energy that is being used is being generated by 100% renewables? If not then then that is crazy. Should they not be turning off fossil fuel generation before renewables?

@willvanderhorst9072 most young people do not have the ability to think. Some do but most do not.

If you buy plastic whether it be recyclable or non recyclable then there should be a charge on it whether high or low depending on its recyclability. I mean how much does it cost to get rid of a bit of polyurethane or a plastic bottle? Not excessive amounts I bet and it is up to the consumer if they want to pay a couple of Cents extra knowing that the extra cost is paying for proper disposal or recycling. If a bottle of soda costs $0.79 and they will have to now pay $0.81 instead then so be it. That is the cost that is put on the user and nobody else which is a fair system. Nobody is all of a sudden going to stop buying stuff just because they have to pay a very small percentage that sorts a very big problem out. If they do stop buying stuff then their options at the moment are going to dwindle of what they can buy and which will probably cost far more than stuff packaged in plastic. Fairs fair, you buy the product and you pay a little to pay for whatever happens to it after you chuck it out.

@robertsmith4681 well I hope you are right up there in a big company making the big decisions, because you seem very adamant you know as much as the best out there. If you are just sitting behind a keyboard making big claims that you know best then you are just a fraud making yourself look like you know better than the best minds on the job. I personally do not subscribe to all the BS as over the years GW or CC as they now call it has no proof at all. Al Gore got it wrong but his inconvenient truth was a very compelling sell. So many chumps alive today that subscribe to the next big thing. In other words they have no ability to critically think for themselves. If in the end cars can have solar panels that give even 1/4 of the yearly charge worldwide then that can only be a good thing for the not too smart of people to get their heads around. To me it helps cut pollution further so I can breathe easier rather than toxic fumes like nitrogen oxide.

Yea but it was only a year or two ago that perovskite made a name for itself and it didn’t look good. All of a sudden it has jumped to the efficiency of a silicon based solar cell? As we know nothing moves that fast and why is it only one company that has seemed to make this breakthrough? There has to be so much research and testing again and again before gains are made. If it was that easy then other companies would be finding it easy also. It just seems too good to be true that they have found the golden goose and eliminated all the bad points that degrade the cells. Companies do what they do to keep investment coming in in the short term. They might just well have found the magic bullet but I wouldn’t bet on it at all.

I wonder how many billions lost in business there will be a year when you add up blackouts in areas over countries all over the world, because people cant get to work because their cars are not charged. Then you have the same with trucks and goods. You can see there are going to be some serious hiccups in the pipeline.

What on Earth was that on the plate 5:02 What a great advert to make you want to spend good money on. I would not let that go anywhere near my stomach.

Job done 100 miles in 4 minutes is good enough for anyone. Now the impossibility of getting the whole world electric 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Used to love watching concord flying over us in Eltham back in the 80’s. One loud muvva though.

Most lifts have counterweights which makes the motor doing the stopping and starting. If you take them away then it would make the motor work harder on the ascent. This would negate any power gained by using brakes instead. Counterweighted lifts are about as efficient as the lift can be made. If there is a gain it would be so minimal as not to be worth it. The CO2 to produce a lift with that much technology would take decades if not longer to ever make back. Physics is physics.

Now that’s a new meaning to the term shithouse

Outboard motors might be cheaper but for how long once you start pumping fuel through them?

There is always a rush to do things. This tech can solve a big chunk of the worlds energy needs. It was never going to happen overnight because innovation has to take place. Give it another 2 decades and this will be in its prime. We just have to hope we have enough rare earths to make it possible on a large planetary scale.

No it was invented in Chad and Liberia. Get with it, nothing is invented outside of the African continent according to the left today.

Remember the issue is the oceans as we get most of our oxygen from them. Destroy them and we destroy the planet.

Not really. They are going to get back much more clean energy than the £500k of dirty energy they used to drill to that level. The only environmental impact will be the oh so ghastly power station above the bore hole that generates the power. I would rather clean energy plants scattered around the place rather than no life at all, or going back to living in caves and becoming hunter gatherers again.
1
Let us say it takes the blow of a 20lb sledge hammer to fuse two atoms together to create that extra energy. What science is doing is trying to find a way of getting a 100g pin hammer to do the same job. It isn’t going to happen. I hope that analogy puts it into simple terms.

@ricardomarcelino8388 somebody with a brain 👍

1 hectare takes away 1 cars co2 year production. There are 39.2 million licensed vehicles in Britain with only 17 million hectares of land. If you add in the big vehicles and most of the land will not get this basalt spread on it, then what good can it really do? It just seems like something could go wrong rather than right messing around with nature.
1
No but every little helps if you actually believe in global warming.

Sad really because my clothes dry on a clothes horse in my house in a day so it is just a blatant waste of energy using one of those things. I suppose if people are vain and can’t be seen having antiquated things like that in their house, then just spend loads of money just to dry the clothes in an hour.
1
Yea that ain’t going nowhere. Plenty of other uses for it that is much more viable.

I just wished they would get moving with nuclear power. We know it is pretty safe but the loonies have too much say and the governments should get a backbone and put a stop to their whinging. Once that happens then we will be on target to destroy all plantlife as the carbon in the atmosphere drops to dangerous levels. Joking aside in 30-50 years this planet is going to be a lot cleaner with air pollution and the whingers need to stop scaremongering into making people believe that the world is close to a tipping point.

How do EV’s reduce carbon? We know they produce more building them compared to a petrol vehicle and still use carbon based power stations. You can not even dare to say that they have any favourable impact on the climate at all. Living in a shed does not improve peoples lives.
1
What makes me laugh is the people who want to save the world, just don’t want it in their backyard. The question is do you want the view but nobody about to see it because the world is boiling? Or is it going to boil? That’s undecided as of yet.

Nice investment

You have already solved the problem. Crush it and sell the cullet off for construction material. There is a profit in the metals so you should be left with a bit of rubber and plastic which might be able to be recycled anyway. How does that equate to $25 per panel? If it only costs $2 to put it in landfill then taking it to a factory that is able to crush the glass into a fine powder is not going to cost $25 per panel. If so then that is one inefficient crushing machine. Could you imagine those big crushers that crush tons of kimberlite to find the odd diamond or two working at the same cost. A ton of kimberlite to crush would cost $1000’s.

Why are you not working for one of these companies if you think your ideas will work? Or will they?
1
Why would that be used as mass energy storage when the C02 battery is on par with lithium ion, and the only components are steel, CO2 and maybe a few other metals in small amounts like copper? The CO2 dome is better than any battery storage and the good thing is the transition from liquid to gas and visa versa is done at normal air temperature. The world would be mad not to use that tech and just carry on with intensive mining when it comes to mass energy storage.
1
It seems the problem is the price of the things. How much does it actually cost the factories to buy and produce each part? Once you know that then you can see the mark up you have to pay for the finished product. I bet a $3,200 600kw turbine costs way less than $1,000 to produce.
1
How is £4,500 a kw cheap? If it costs £4.50 a watt to install then times that by a 1,000 and you have a very expensive roof. 1 kw costs me £0.18 pence so 1 watt costs me £0.00018. How can you ever get to the £4.50 per watt before you need to change the roof?
