One of my favorite channel is back. I watched all your video about city. It just wohoo, mind-blowing... The one about Paris was my favorite.

Good to see your content again!

Is it the efficiency of all cars sold or all the ones manufactured? Because that's a pretty big freeking (for emphasis) difference.

I used to be involved in vehicle feebate policy and attended an industry symposium that Amory Lovins hosted on the topic many years ago. It's hard to make a feebate policy work for a heterogenous market like passenger vehicles because of the cross-subsidies it creates between different vehicle classes. One way to get around that limitation would be to apply a feebate-type policy to manufacturers' fleet-wide average emissions, rather than individual vehicle models -- similar to a fuel economy standard but with the "standard" replaced by an incentive. Credit trading would be supplanted by feebate revenue transfers. A similar policy could be used in the utility power market, and was used quite effectively by Sweden in the 1990's for NOx regulation. (In this context the "feebates" are called "Refunded Emission Payments".) www.airclim.org/sites/default/files/acidnews_pdf/AN2-00.pdf

Post more regularly please

You’re alive???!?!?

The regional/semi-private ERCOT isn't looking quite as great given the failures in management and preparation we've just witnessed in Texas.

I feel like it would be worthwhile to mention the EV incentives in Norway.

damn i gotta share this

In my country ( india) they are increasing price of fuel . So that they are indirectly forcing people to buy electric vehicles, induction cooking stove , and cng vehicles , etc.

I am watch a great problem however when corps like BP and others begin to mke this option and accept. Gone be a short more easy BUT not so much because dont depend only of they. Got it? Click in accept the thermes. Read please and got a OPITON if NOT ... yew.

Seems this is all about subsidies or penalizing people. That's not worth the switch.

Great video

why wasn't you showing up on my subscription list?

Excellent, we need an update. China is really leading the world in Renewable Energy and Electric Vehicles.

Correction: the best solutions if we don't consider modifying people's behaviors

The benefit of an EV is dependent on its "fuel" source. A lot of electricity is still pretty "dirty". I am fortunate to live in Quebec where power is not expensive and primarily hydro generated. I currently drive a plug-in hybrid and go months between gas fills around home.

it never includes population growth or developing countries, or the fact that 0 car factories are actually being converted and only new ones are being built. its the best solution if you ignore people in netherlands who bike, 6-7 billion of us who walk

0.45% of vehicles are electric, renewables are 4% of energy, solar & wind are 2% of energy Electricity is 20% of energy so 100% renewable electricity is 20% of all energy use If electricity is 30% of energy by 2050, 80% renewable electricity will be 24% of energy

1% of people control 75% of farmland -- 80% of food grows on small farms 0.5% of vehicles are electric, 2% of energy is solar & wind 20% of energy is electricity, 100% renewable electricity = 20% of energy *Direct Impacts of Climate Heating* ▷ Heat stress is reducing crop yields. ▷ Heat stress toll on farmers (sometimes fatal). ▷ Heat stress tolls on livestock (often fatal). ▷ Altered precipitation: not enough rain; drought. ▷ Altered precipitation: too much rain; flooding. ▷ Weather whiplashing between drought and flooding (or heat and cold) ruining crops. ▷ Extreme weather physically damaging crops: hail storms, late Spring frosts, early Fall frosts, early warmth confusing plants to bud prematurely, followed by killing frosts. ▷ Wildfires physically destroying crops and livestock and polluting water supplies. ▷ Smoke and other wildfire pollutants damage crops hundreds of km from the burn areas. ▷ Extreme weather damaging food storage infrastructure, disrupting food transportation systems, breaking down “cold chain” systems. All of these above effects are already cascading into a variety of secondary effects. Secondary Impacts ▷ Crop and farm failures, financing challenges, farmer migration and suicides, general strikes. ▷ Loss of agricultural labour and resource conflicts. ▷ Crop stress causes stress on seeds and seed viability damage, causing poor crop yields in subsequent years. ▷ Drought and sea-level rise causes salinization contamination is soils and farmland, reducing crop yields for years. ▷ Heat, drought, and overuse of pesticides wipes out good beetles, butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. ▷ Changing precipitation patterns leads to increased breeding of locusts and other crop harming pests. ▷ Drought dries out soils leading to wind blown soil loss and desertification. ▷ Drought and decreases glacial water storage and groundwater infiltration, drying up rivers and amplifying water stress in subsequent years. ▷ Torrential rain leading to flooding caused soil erosion, destroys crops and infrastructure, and carries over to subsequent growing seasons. ▷ Crop losses impact feed prices and supply for the following year. -- Beckwith et al 2020 YT Oceans took 89% of the heat and they're going to blow, see Loki's Revenge Green Energy Fraud I don't how to say that in academic gibberish, so I'll just let the gibberish do the talking...
