@hammerdick82 Russian troll? Propaganda? Roflmao. No mate. The reality is there is in fact no genuinely green energy source available to humanity. That's not at all a controversial statement, indeed it's a statement the IPCC have made.

What do windmills have to do with anything? You trying to mill some grain? Do you mean wind turbines? All turbines can explode, including wind turbines. Particularly if the wind gusts beyond the turbine rating and they don't shut it down in time. Solar panels aren't clean to produce and have a life expectancy of 10-25 years depending on the individual panel. The materials in a solar panel can't be recycled, so they end up in landfill as toxic waste. We currently have no genuinely green energy solutions. Nuclear fusion as opposed to fission is a viable future candidate but due to limited access to He3 on earth there's no working production prototypes, only working concepts. A fusion reactor can't melt down, doesn't cause outlet warming and doesn't produce toxic waste. He3 is one of the major reasons the world is gearing up to mine asteroids. A single ton of He3 is projected to be worth $1Tn

@veneroso3337 The mining of rare earths essential to solar panels (amongst many other electronics) has already poisoned numerous towns. In fact the toxic waste from the mining process makes the area uninhabitable for an estimated 1000 years. The market value doesn't plummet the moment you bring a resource into earth, I don't know where you even got that idea from. If the market value for iron ore is $200/t, it's $200/t regardless of where it comes from. The reason He3 is valued to highly is because you can only find commercial qualities of it on the moon and on asteroids. Earth has only very small quantities of He3. We're talking about a resource where a single ton of He3 could power the entire United States for a year and the only by products are oxygen, water and rock. But getting that ton to earth is expensive and dangerous. A ton of weight in reentry terms is HUGE. I hate to break it to you but there's currently 20 aerospace companies working towards asteroid mining, including SpaceX (it's literally what underlines their entire long term sustainability). And there's numerous countries that have gained space programs in the last decade purely around mining. India, Japan, Australia these national programs are about mining He3 and other resources such as Titanium and rare earths. Mining asteroids means rare earth metals like lithium don't require earth bound toxic waste to enter the market.

We don't have any clean energy ...

@benjamindemontgomery6317 roflmao I think you might want to look into liquid metallurgy yourself some more. It's not what you seem to think. While you're there, look at what state He3 is mined in, and how fusion works. That will answer your question.

@benjamindemontgomery6317 I'm not sure why you included a video. Fusion is a future energy source, it realistically isn't a soon thing. We're talking at least a couple of decades but then things will move rapidly. There is no conspiracy

@Sabreeshuh What?

@benjamindemontgomery6317 You seem very naive. No there have not been many reactor accidents, and of those that have occurred only Chernobyl was of any significance. The only reason Chernobyl became of any significance is because the Kremlin tried to hide the melt down for 2 weeks, and the only reason it occurred at all was because the reactor wasn't built properly. That is, inferior building products, inferior building methods and built in half the time it should have taken because of communist government corruption. Your battery recycling video neither covers the actual biggest problem with batteries, nor is it actually honest about the process. Not that battery EVs will be with us for much longer as hydrogen evs are finally here and they're the industries way forward. Commercial green hydrogen is made with electrolysis using energy from solar farms. The easy at which such infrastructure is set up will make every country energy independent for transport.

@benjamindemontgomery6317 roflmao. No they aren't. Guy, every one of your comments has been way off, do you really want to keep embarrassing yourself like this?

@Rextraordinaire A wind turbine is not a windmill. A windmill is a prop attached to a milling stone for milling grains into flour. A wind turbine is a prop attached to an electromagnetic turbine to create electricity.

@benjamindemontgomery6317 Not from you I'm not. You walk around spouting untrue statements. People are less knowledgeable because of you

@benjamindemontgomery6317 Not insults and not negativity. Simple truth. You spread misinformation about subjects you don't actually understand.

Because it's just that easy right? 🤣
