I am for a cleaner environment, a couple arguments I have had with people mentioned in that video. "What is needed to build the green energy producers" rare earth materials, where does it come from, under the ground.

It;s not a case of this or that.its numerous things combined. Phasing out some and introducing others.Nuclear might be made safer in the future.Dont forget hydro.😀

At the moment, these alternative energy sources might sound great, but there is a flip side that not many people are aware of. Their impact on the environment once they have reached their expected life span, or break down. Wind turbines are not, and can not be recycled. So they end up in land fill. Resulting in virtually unknown, or cared about effects on the environment. Solar panels are much the same. There is only one company that recycles what can be recycled from solar panels. A company in S.A. I believe. Then you have electric vehicles. Vehicles that require more materials and use more resources and energy that they could ever save in their projected time time. Then you have to find a environmentally safe way of disposing of those vehicles....................Japan uses Australian coal in their coal fired power stations. They have developed the technology to reduce emissions by up to 45%. It's not perfect, but it helps the Japanese people, with cheaper power costs. No doubt the Japanese are endeavoring to develop technologies to reduce their emissions even further.

The video failed to mention the harm caused by emissions from burning fossil fuels. That is a biggie to omit when talking about environmental impacts of energy sources. Perhaps the video is sponsored by fossil fuel companies and is not unbiased?

Totally agree but I’m putting all major parties last in every election until you hear the voice of the people!!!!!!

Amazing how many people have been conned into thinking fossil fuels are the big evil and still buy everything from the supermarket triple wrapped in plastic. There's no cure for stupidity.

You can copy this. SOLAR: Is it worth having?. Test results over 2 years from the meter. This is a quality teir 1 system on a high roof facing at an angle to the north SUMMARY. 1. The KWh rating is false 2. It’s depending on the subsidies for sales 3. It’s unreliable as it is low power in winter, worse when cloudy and zero for up to 18hrs.day 4. Disposing of masses of dead panels will be an environmental problem My full research on solar. FACTS on HOME SOLAR. (30-7-20) SOLAR Inefficiency. Some repeated info here as these were separate letters. We have 6.2KWH solar panels so they are called. A 6.2 KWH generator will produce about 25 amps 24 hours a day. That is about 150 KWHs (Commonly called units) of power in 24 hours. Sometimes the solar can attain about 22 amps during the middle part of a very sunny day in summer. In winter and or when cloudy its output is half that or lower. And it only produces that for about 1/3 of the day. This system cost us over $6,000 and the Government subsidy of about $4,000. Its daily units produced in winter days sometimes cloudy in 2019 were: 15, 17, 22, 16, 9, 10, 25, 26, 18, 8, 23, 19, 12, 17, 28, 28, 27, 27, 27, 23, 28, 24, 17, 13, 13, 20, 11, 25,14, 23, 23, 21, 15, 24, 20, 23, 21, 23, 23, 17, 18, 8, 13, 21, 25, 23, 15, 10, 8, 12, 18, 21, 11, 17, 21, 19, 13, 17, 23, 6, 21, 24, 23, 16, 16, 21, 8, 11, 18, 21, 19, 22, 20, 23, 12, 7, 14, 16, 18, 15, 18, 23, 23, 25, 25, 24, 24, 25, 25, 24, 15, 18, 24, 24, 26, 24, 23. There were 5 days under 10 and another 41 under 20 which is less than 20% of the above generator of the same power rating. Even with the subsidy it's costing us more than the electricity ever did. Now for a week in May 2020 we have had a cloudy week. Daily units produced in one week were :- 17.6; 9.6; 17.0; 7.7; 12.0; 13.2 and just 1.8 so it could never be used as a continuous reliable power source and in this weather there isn’t enough spare to charge batteries. So advertising this system as 6.2 KWH is false advertising which is illegal. A 6.2 KHW set of panels should produce 6.2 units per hour on a very sunny day. In practice the solar providers know this is false as they only install a 5kwh inverter. . Common price for a 6.2 KWH system has been $6000. or higher plus $1000s government subsidies. So it will take 8 years to balance the cost. The ones who benefit are those who use most power between 10am and 2pm. where you save 20c per unit(Power is 30c/u but you lose the 10c/u not returned for credit). These prices have changed. It is now only 7.8c/unit credited.. The rest of the day you pay 30c/u(Slightly less now) for all you use. This is when most people use most power. So if all the family is at work or school most days they pay full price for most of their power and get a slight credit for feed in power during the day. Ultimately a battery system will supply most of the power up to about 20 units on a sunny day but this costs about an extra $10,000 at present. By the time the battery may pay for itself you will need another battery. Mostly it’s a costly no win situation. I know because we installed one and now see the costs. Batteries will be flat with more than one cloudy day Some claim the time to stop thermal coal mining is now. Well Saturday our Solar produced a whole 1.8 units for the day. So if coal power wasn’t on we would have had the day in the cold and dark. Some claim solar is cheaper to build per MW. We have 6.2 KW on the roof. They knew it would never produce that as they only put a 5KW inverter on it. It produces between 1 and about 4.5 depending on season and clouds and only for a third of the day. One quotes coal cost as $1.6m/MW and solar as $1.1m/MW but fails to mention the solar will only produce that for a third of the day and much less on cloudy days. So the cost of actual power produced by intermittent solar is way above coal that is there 24hrs/day 365 days per year. So it’s a totally false rating. SOLAR FALSE CLAIMS. A set of panels rated at 6KW should produce 25 amps continuously. That is 150 KWh (Commonly called units ) in 24 hours. A 6 KW generator will do this but an equivalent rated solar system will only produce as follows. From 8-5-20 the amps being produced to nearest hour never reaches its rating of about 25 amps TIME: 11am -----14.1; 5.3; 4.5; 13.7; 4.9; 7.2; 4.6 amps 12 noon---- 7.1; 6.0; 2.2; 9.0; 3.1; 5.1; amps 1 pm-------1.2; 13.4; 7.6; 7.4 amps 2 pm----- 1.1; 7.4; 13.6; 11.5; 3.1; 9.6; 6.0; amps 3 pm----2.7; 7.3; 2.4; 2.4; 2.6; 5.9; amps showing it never reaches it’s rating and is often only 10 to 50%. Now in September when it should be higher these are it’s results at various hours Time 10.: 16.4; 8.0; 5.3; amps 11: 9.5; 12: 18.0; 3.4; 8.2; 7.0; 15.3 1: 8.4; 6.9; 6.5; 16.6; 17.5 2: 16.0; 4.8; 8.5; and just 4 amps at 3pm 10 amps at 240v is 2400 watts so it can be seen it seldom reaches its claimed rating of 6.2KW producing 25amps. Even allowing that it only works for about 7 hours a day its units should be over 40 but are no where near its rating. In first paragraph above. A 6KW unit is producing estimated ½ its rated power. I have daily records from the meter.

There’s an ad on television at the moment where they say that each wind turbine needs 4 tons of copper and they are so proud of this. FOUR TONS! If that’s being environmentally friendly I’ll eat my hat! 😡

He missed the tonnes of copper required for wind turbines

Colin Boyce if all the LNP believes the complete garbage in your utube it's no wonder your party lost the last Qld election. They must be complete troglodytes too scared to come out of their caves to learn how to make the world a better place. Leaders? Huh. You're probably still teaching your kids how to fight sabre tooth tigers when they should be out learning how to pump and control electrons.

Only a matter of time now before we tip below 50% coal, future of grid storage is not batteries, they will be used on a smaller scale. Environmental impacts of mining and subsequently burning fossil fuels far worse than that of renewables infrustructure. The numbers coming out of the latest prototype of these are great, more are being built around the world: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0011227516300212

Has everyone forgot Chernobyl and Fukushima, let alone all the radioactive waste that has to be stored underground ? also in the west coast of the USA the fisheries have collapsed due to the high radiation found in the sea life there that drifted all the way from Japan, and lets not forget who will pay for all the renewables that still are not perfected, You in electric bills to high to pay, and then there are those in the world with IQs in the highest one percent who have all agreed that the earths warming right now is the same that has happened hundreds of times in the earths history, about 800 yrs before each ice age, so do the science, do the research, quit believing the hype

There is a problem with large scale removal of energy from out wind systems. Look, suppose I receive $20 per day. Each and every day. Now, someone takes $10 of that each day. I protest. It’s renewable they say. Well, yes, but I am still $10 down each and every day. The only tests. I know of performed around windmills for feasibility was a wind velocity test a bit down stream. Tests show that the velocity is again what it was upwind from the turbine. Of course it is. Wind still moves from high to low pressure, but it is different air. Carrying different content. May be a prob, may not. May have undesired consequences and may not. But no detailed checks in that regard.

Good video. Finally we have some push back against the Green nonsense that has been spewing out of our Universities

I would really like to see a detailed summary of renewable energy without any slant giving the pros and cons - I think that solar with batteries is a good alternative for household use, not sure about larger installations

What's wrong with steam turbines & coal they've made the windmills and solar panels and battery's & still do !

Don't need to watch it - the LNP are that predictable. That they would show propaganda in our schools is not surprising. No better than the brainwashing that happens in conservative Church schools.

THE TRUTH

Science greenhouse experiments tells us that plants die when CO2 levels drop below 150 ppm, we also know Greenhouse farmers pump CO2 into their greenhouses at up to 1500 ppm to improve the yield and quality of their produce , we also know from ice core geological history CO2 ppm has been as high as 8,000 ppm and about 2,000 years ago it was at 180 ppm, so the industrial revolution in the is said to have saved us, burning Coal in modern HELE power stations not a CO2 problem, or a particulate pollution problem ether, (No we don’t have any HELE power stations in Australia) the Pollution from the necessary constant mining, manufacturing, transport, installation , scrapping , recycling the non- toxic parts and burying the rest of the Wind, Solar, Batteries is vastly more damaging to our air, land and water, the toxic chemicals needed for the solar panels and batteries and the giant magnets are the world's problem. Look up “China pollution from building Magnets”, again nothing to do with CO2, the UN wants us to believe CO2 is bad, but without CO2 and water plants die and creatures that eat plants die. The UN wants to become the Global Government and they are using their UN agenda 2030 Climate Change propaganda to get it.>>>>>>> Research UN agenda 21, our Government agreed to it 28 years ago,, I found this on google, (find it for yourself). In 2014, Christiana Figueres replaced Yvo de Boeras the Executive Secretary to the UNFCCC, the body responsible for the annual Conferences of the Parties (COPS). Google: Christiana Figueres When Christiana Figueres, was head of the UNFCCC, she freely admitted that the goal of the UN was never about preventing ecological calamity. Rather, it was about changing the global economic model: And: “Our aim is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.” Figueres went on to say that democracy is getting in the way of the UN’s objectives. www.investors.com/politics/editorials/climate-change-scare-tool-to-destroy-capitalism/ Economist Dr. Dan Mitchell reflected on the main goal of Figueres and the UN as being to: “Make the world look at their right hand while they choke developed economies with their left.” Again it must be said, CO2 is not a problem, today at only 410 ppm CO2 is in the lowest 10% of all geological history, the Globalists running the UN are the problem,

Wind turbines use power when they are not generating .ie they need base load power to continue to work .

okay when sun shines and wind blows but you don,t get told that batteries need replacing and repairs are through he roof so you don,t really save a thing over time

Excellent video. It should be shown to Greta Thunberg, Ponce Charles, Scott Morrison, Angus Taylor and all the other brainless Greens who wouldn't have a clue about the scientific and economic reality of the true cost of renewables.

Jeez, covid must be on the way out, but here comes Climate Change, again. I'm bored!

Wind powered turbines and solar power are like lefties and greenies brains, only works occasionally rest of the time are dead or in idle mode

Utube ..Planet of the Humans ..really interesting 👍
