Скачать или смотреть Solar is Cheaper Than You Think: The End of the Fossil Fuel Era?

The world is rapidly moving toward renewable energy sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. We are currently in the midst of a historic transition—not just from one fuel to another, but from a fuel-based economy to a technology-based economy.
In this video, we explore:
• The Solar Explosion: Solar panels have become so affordable that a module now costs roughly the price of eight high-end cups of coffee. In places like Pakistan, an "invisible" solar boom is occurring, with satellite data showing massive installations that aren't even reflected in official government records.
• Technology vs. Fuel: In a fuel-based world, supply is existential; if the oil stops, the lights go out. However, technology is circular and abundant. We don’t "burn" solar panels; we use them, and over 90% of renewable energy technologies can be recycled.
• Why There Will Be No "Renewable OPEC": Unlike oil, the minerals needed for the green transition—like copper, lithium, and iron—are geologically abundant and often substitutable. Because technology is built rather than extracted, no single nation can "control" the sun or the wind in the way cartels controlled oil.
• The Intermittency Challenge: Since solar and wind are conditional on weather, we need massive investments in infrastructure and storage. Technologies like batteries and green hydrogen are essential to "catch" energy the moment it is produced so it can be used later.
• The Case for Nuclear: While renewables are growing, some argue they require too much land and are too unreliable to power the world alone. Nuclear energy offers an "unconditional" alternative, running at a 92.5% capacity factor while taking up significantly less space than solar or wind farms.
• A New Economic Reality: Green energy is unique because it is the only energy source that becomes cheaper the more you use it. The nations that lead this transition will be those that focus on innovation and manufacturing rather than just resource extraction.
The future of energy is not extracted; it is built. It is a system that can belong to everyone rather than being controlled by a few.
