Daniel Kammen - Renewable Energy and Economies of Scale

[Gracelandification]

Joe Biden claimed that the $862 Billion failed stimulus ($400 remains unspent) “created or saved” 750,000 jobs. Economists don’t recognize jobs saved, and the jobs saved may have been keep local agencies afloat. When the money ran out, the people lost their jobs. Currently States are considering filing bankruptcy for spending. watch?v=IqmeT5ykKf0

The Govt owns 61% of GM, GOOGLE, “GM's electric-car fantasy running out of gas” and read links. The Green Movement should be free market driven

HELPING NATURE FOR BETTER CLIMATE

Use mighty power of nature

In the northwestern Australia, we have huge tides,

huge deserts, huge evaporation and huge dry rivers and lakes.

Huge 12m tidal erosion can revive old dry paleo dormant once mighty rivers, creeks and lakes,

desalinate the country and change deserts to rain forests to provide more rain across Australia

World population is growing rapidly and we need more energy, food, land and water.

Free energy technology exists!But the Establishment doesn't want ppl to know this,Get a motor that works with the power of magnets only at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Be the revolution!

[fireofenergy]

Yes we can "scale them up"!!!

The world needs to invest in developing giant automated solar PV factories. Dirt cheap panels made by robotic arms = MORE INSTALL JOBS and solar exponentiation!

At the existing 35% solar PV growth rate, it be the #1 source of power in about 30 years (including extra 4X needed for storage). But this growth rate will not continue until solar PV is mass produce by robotic slaves! ! !

I invented a breakthrough energy source which violates the law of energy conservation. I have a PROOF that there are electrodynamic phenomena which violate the law of energy conservation. Making a 6 kW generator will cost $1200, value of the energy produced yearly $5400, zero operating costs. I am looking for $300 000 for a prototype and for $3M for patents.

The high electricity rates in Germany come from the structure of the markets, which are oligopoles basically. The premium for renewables plays almost no roll, it's about one beer a month. The price of the renewables is coming down rapidly and their share is rising from year to year (already 16%). When we have largeley renewables in Germany and the Uranium is running out in 20 years, the French will get big problems. That's going to be interesting.

[greenwashed]

but who pays or on scale with US dirty energy. France, which is 80% is nuclear. What could be the clear choice?

[NoFreeWind]

that is super sad!

[czchiro]

This guy just drank a gallon of Kool-aide before he gave this talk. Germany and Denmark pay twice as much as we pay for electricity. Cut our CO2 emissions by 75%. This person is insane! Did he actually finish high school. How does he he think he got to the bookstore, how does he think the bookstore was built? Where in the world does he even think we are going to cut CO2 by 10% or even 5%??? This is such a fantasy it is almost beyond belief.

He is the Professor of Energy at the University of California with appointments in the Energy and Resources Group, Goldman School of Public Policy, and dept. of Nuke Engineering. He is founding director of the Renewable and Appropriate Energy Lab. He was Co-Director of the Berkeley Energy Institute.

Harvard graduate, Ph.D. 88. Trained in physics Postdoc work at Caltech and Harvard, was prof and Chair of the Science, Tech. and Environmental Policy at Princeton University from '93 '98.

Germany and Denmark may pay twice as much, but it's clean energy. If we don't switch to renewable energy you could be paying the price in the future.

CO2 emmissions can easily be cut, by increasing the efficiency of machinery, reducing waste use, recycling materials, cutting back on consumption etc etc

[Eguy451]

It be nice to have people talk about making solar and wind a big part of the energy mix instead of the be all and end all of energy needs. Nuclear, clean coals, and many others still need to be look at.

[EasyEs]

Note how this guy doesn't say much about the de-population of Northern Europe. Just a thought. Also when Russia is your natural gas supplier, in the long term everything looks reliable.

[gaiatechnician]

Perhaps Daniel could look at my pulser Pump? for his Appropriate energy laboratory?

You can see recent video of one that is 20 years old! powered by a half meter head of water! and made of scrap cans and plastic pipes! on utube. And it is still working!

I think the pulser pump is the only thing simple enough to use low grade hydropower of this kind.

There is lots of such low grade hydropower available at the moment. Some are on a huge scale too!
