At the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris, world leaders agreed that climate change is an urgent threat -- cementing green energy production as a new frontier of innovation. VICE takes an in-depth look at the future of how we make and use energy, and how we can meet growing demand as we cut carbon emissions.

Anyone else to step up and make this change before we are like annihilated? (Raises hand). Oh and I didn't want to mess with the 69 like vibe :) I liked it from within, now all us people on the same page "get some you know what around the you know what". Damn I'm so glad to see actual intelligence other than trolls nowadays. Deniers are Dodo birds. GO PLANET EARTH!!! Woo Hoo. Life may last 200 years instead of 100. Faith.

Before you get all rosie: Donald Trump is still president. And the Democrats just caved and gave him and Mitch McConnel EVERYTHING they want. Thousands of people who grew up in the USA are going to be FORCEFULLY, VIOLENTLY DEPORTED into countries they've never even seen. Remember: DEMOCRATS are appeasing to a facist government. Democrats are paid by SuperPACs to lose. Lose on immigration. Lose on renewable energy. Obama & Clinton were PRO fracking. They said one thing, only to turn around and DO THE OPPOSITE. *#whereisthechange****?*

Are you really sure? What are we going to do with the masses who think Trump is a genius? What are we going to do with the masses who still don't understand how corrupt the Clintons and Obamas are? What are we going to do with CNN, who didn't once make the connection between Harvy, Maria, Irma and Climate Change? Too many lose ends. Our societies are still operating under philosophies of the 18th Century. Nihilism, Relativism, Postmodernism. Famine, Wars, Pollution, Corruption, Greed. Capitalism is still racing us all towards our death. Next stop: Extinction.

Thorium. Bigger, better, faster, stronger, SAFER energy.

@JDfabricacations 7 жыл бұрын

justin waugh Norway were experimenting with thorium years ago, they must have ran out of funding. Thorium can sustain us for the next 30,000 years I don't see why we aren't moving forward with it.

@justinwaugh4377 7 жыл бұрын

Hell, one handful of the material could sustain a human beings home, vehicle, and livelihood with clean safe energy. and when that human being dies, that handful of Thorium could STILL be used for hundreds of years later for someone else. Mankind has always, and always will, overlook our issues. trying to use drastic measures to fix drastic issues, when in reality we can use whats sitting on the table in front of us. small hometown owners of mines all across the united states dump their thorium because not a lot of people buy it. one small mine could run the fucking planet off of what they think is just a useless rock. but america is too focused on what we already invested in. (solar panels, wind turbines, ect)

@WesternScienceUSA 6 жыл бұрын

That kid is book smart but he's exactly what the government wants he's stuck on hot fusion b.s when we know cold fusion can be made in a pickle jar for pennies compared to hot fusion GIANT LASERS millions... My over unity diaries shows several ways to get more energy out then in my favorite methods are pulsing electro-magnets and water engines a.k.a H.H.0 engines.. Hydrogen is 5 times more explosive then gasoline and what is in water hydrogen and oxygen if you pulse the water instead of constant current you magically use far less energy to extract the hydrogen (Advanced Electrolysis) I'm really who the government is scared of.
