  1. Problem we have here in the US is Trump has a vested interest in supporting the coal industry and suppressing renewable energy creation.

  2. That's just pure stupidity!

    Yearly energy consumption in Germany: 650'000'000 MWh
    Cost (optimum): 100'000'000$ for max 500MWh
    Assumption: power needs to be stable for 1 month max (in reality maybe even more)
    Total cost to stabilize the Energy for the whole country 1 year: 130'000'000'000'000 dollars
    For 1 month: 10'833'333'333'333 dollars
    That is about 270'000$ for every German tax payer!!!

    Just for buffering!!! Not a single kWh energy has been produced for that price!

    And this kind of storage is extremely expensive to maintain also!

    How can someone come up with such a stupid technology that does not even work in theory…

    The system in Germany is not operational because it is too expensive to operate. Pretty much every other power source is cheaper. Building this is and will always be a waste of money.

    For that price one could build about 250 perfectly safe Thorium MSR nuclear power plants that produce the energy that we need from the start and enough energy to power Germany like 60x and for the next 200 years.

    Because besides these stupid power buffers you also need to build solar and wind industrial parks for billions of dollars. A country cannot afford this without becoming a failed state.

  3. I am a little skeptical about making caverns hold more than twice the energy that a high pressure tank can hold, also a little curious how the heat energy is stored is it like a series of radiators inside the cavern? If so can they handle the 100bar of pressure?

  4. An interesting take on storage using basic PV=nRt concept. I wonder what the conversion efficiencies are going from a wind farm to a compressor as compared to a windfram that compresses air directly. It may not be practical but interesting project.

  5. good vid but these claims need to be independently evaluated – and they are at best 'on paper' claims – the real world is nasty to such claims

  6. Although I zoned out for parts of the video (because of my own tiredness), I like the fact that this time you focused on another startup/game changer person other than the mains (Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, etc) and the ways they're trying to apply the change.

    I recall doing a bit of investigation about a startup's work with fungi and their manipulation into leather and wooden, it was called MyCoworks, or something like that, have you heard of it?

  7. Pakistan also have big mountains can we generate energy from there too but keep in mind there is also land sliding ?

  8. The interviews suck. Wouldn't it be better to just interview behind the scenes and then explain what he said in the video? Might be way more work but they really interrupt the flow of the video and they're low quality. Interesting video but I had to dislike this one

  9. The fastest solution for renewable energies is interconnection between north and south and more important inter continents so when night comes energy does not drain and the batteries could be extremely efficient.

  10. I don't understand how this system will have a positive energy output the pumps will use more energy pumping the air than would be produced that's thermodynamics you need some sort of energy from an outside source to create a system with a positive energy output like burning hydrocarbons or capturing photons or harnessing the power of the atom itself through fission or in the future fusion, the reason wind turbines work is because the system gets energy from the wind created by tidal forces between the moon and the earth, if I misunderstand this proposed power solution please inform me but the way i see it there is no possible way this system can create energy in fact it would lose energy

  11. In germany one of the power-supplier has or wanted to build one of the preasure-"batteries". And rhey want so safe some of the heat in a tank with something inside… (cant remember anymore)
    Amazing Video by the way!

  12. The reason why France invested so heavily in nuclear energy is that the nuclear waste facility for the entire EU was/is in… Britain! They would have thought differently about it if they had to store nuclear waste next to their own precious fields of grape vines.

  13. It's a waste of fertile land. I would propose solar panels on top of every existing building where it is available.

  14. I love how they conveniently left out where the back up power for this installation comes from. It's undoublty from natural gas which will be the primary source of the 300 megawatts since this solar installation will optimistically produce 60-80 of those megawatts (due to the low capacity factor of solar). No matter how much public support intermittent energy sources THEY ARE NOT CURRENTLY GREEN. They can only be green with an equally green backup. Cheap efficient and large scale energy storage has proven to be an incredibly hard problem to solve and we really don't have any good solutions. The best green backup for renewables will be generation IV nuclear reactors, particularly molten salt reactors (Google search this term) because they can ramp up and down very quickly to stabilize wind and solar generation. If you truly are environmentalist and want a future of clean cheap and abundant energy for all, acknowledge your bias towards nuclear and rationally look into the modern nuclear reactors, you may be pleasantly surprised.

  15. Pretty sad tale. France with the lowest emissions in Europe, putting in solar and wind. How crazy is that. Solar and wind will increase emissions in France and increase the electricity price. As it is now doing in Ontario. That's what you get when you have two Bankster/Oil Baron stooge's leading the country. Hollande, the man who spends $120k per year on his hair, and his pupil the Rothschild Bankster/Oil Baron employee & puppy, Macron. They did the same in South Korea with President Moon, in Ontario with Premier McQuinty, in Vermont with Gov Shumlin and California with Gov Brown. Anywhere there is a successful nuclear power program, buy the lead politician, and get him to stupidly shutdown the zero-CO2 nuclear and replace it with Big Oil's NG/LNG electricity supply, greenwashed with wind & solar to sucker in gullible fools. 90% NG/LNG, 10% wind/solar. Increased emissions, increased electricity price, increased supply vulnerability, decreased supply reliability, increased NG shortages in the winter and high gas & electricity price peaks and more petrodollar Oil & Gas Pipeline Wars.

    This solar power plant, very inefficient flat plate east-west orientation is very cheap to build (at) $450M for 300MWpeak or $1.50 per watt pk, but with a CF% of only 13.3% means a cost of $11.5k per kwavg, much more than their latest First-Of-A-Kind nuclear, for an energy source that peaks in Spring when demand is minimum and only lasts for a meager 20yrs vs NPPs last for 60-100yrs, and uses a vast land area, land that could grow food or house people. And literally a mountain of toxic waste when the huge mass of solar panels must be discarded. Anyone who believes France will replace its nuclear, generating a few ounces of nuclear waste per French citizen's lifetime energy needs, with nutty wind and solar scams like they claim, is just too gullible and stupid. Of course this is all about switching from zero emissions nuclear to gas brought by dangerous LNG tankers and a pipeline from terrorists in the Middle East through Syria. Thus the Syrian pipeline war. Note Macron is eager to expand the Syrian war, wants to murder another 100k Syrian citizens.

  16. I hope this is all land that cannot be used by agriculture.
    Because at first I would put solar on rooftops, of which we have enough, continuing with land that cannot be used otherwise.
