Everything You Need To Know About Clean Energy In 2025! 🔋🌍

the Big question – what did we miss??!

You are delusional

Last year 80% of my electricity was self generated (solar + battery).

Excellent summary.
Also, love the 10:24 "Tiffs on tariffs and targets conTinue to be conTentious"

The UK has the workforce and knowledge to build nuclear where ever it is needed.

Start and never stop for the next decades to build out rolls royce reactors for example.

Hurry up a bit.

The elephant in the room was missed – new American administration 🤔

It's NOT a "bat-tree"
It's a "ba-TTerY"
"ba-TTeReez"

That's NOT schooled English.
NOT sawR rawR clawR drawR

NOT asdaR pastaR bananaR pizzaR cinemaR sofaR mediaR dataR

That's a poison on English. It's a Bad Diction Rhotic Habit.

The justifications for continued fossil fuel expansion ie what to do ehen the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't shining, and what to do about hard to abate industries are rapidly being eroded. Yet both UK and Scottish Govts seem determined to give huge subsidies to energy companies for CCS, describing the energy produced as clean. CCS has a history of failure. We should be focussing on genuinely clean alternatives alo gside efforts to reduce demand.

Do you like to make an interesting video on Solar Energy Implementation at much Higher Pace, without paying any amount, if yes kindly share your email id, so PPT can be shared with you

I visited Cambridge recently and all their park and ride buses are double decker electric. You can also take an electric bus along the glideway to Ely, a former rail line where the buses run in a concrete trough.
Here in Wiltshire the council are trialling an electric refuge lorry. I hope it doesn't suffer from a fire from a discarded lithium battery. There are now 1,200 of such fires in the UK each year in bin lorries. Must cost councils a lot of money as they tend to self insure.

I don't understand why more isn't being done with tidal power. I think we need both mega sized projects and micro projects.

I kind of get bored by this, it's not really ambitious, Brunel would not have been impressed, we are just messing around. Get the job done , this planet is swimming in energy. 1.4 KW per square m.

Good info but the presentation style using 80's video game graphics and annoying sound effects is naff. Jack's recent new EVs for 2025 video also suffered from awful and distracting graphics and sound effects.

I'm definitely encouraged by the number of electric busses set to come to the UK this year.

This was fantastic journalism.

Solid state, semi-solid state batteries. Who cares. If it's an improvement, use it, until the next best thing comes along. ICE cars had 115 years to get to 30% efficiency. The last 15 years has seen tremendous battery improvements. Onward, onward, ever upward.

The VW Audi Mercedes-Benz dealership I work for have their roof covered in solar panels to help.
We’ve also just had 20 solar panels, with battery backup and EV charger added to our home this week.
We’re all doing our bit, it just needs the likes of the new American government to wake up and smell the coffee, so that they can recognise the benefits and potential of renewable energy, rather than doing whatever their biggest sponsors want, ignoring the consequences…

The cost of solar panels has apparently fallen a lot but a typical installation has not fallen much – certainly not 90%: unfortunately.

It's still just messing around. Brunel would not have not been impressed, he would have done it properly.

Thanks so much!

All for energy independence, and would like to see more solar and wind farms …but… aren’t such farms “sitting ducks” if we were ever in conflict and our opponent(s) were determined to wreak havoc…?

What of the dunkelflaute period we just experienced?
I heard that we (the UK) were at a very high risk of some level of blackout.
We can build all the solar and wind farms we want but what do we do when sunlight is low and days are short and wind stops?

Interconnects? What if a dunkeflaute is across Europe?

Long Duration storage – but not for days…

Batteries are still expensive – and we’d need a lot of them… £££

V2G is fine but what about V2H as I would like to run my ASHP during peak tariff hours from an EV please, that'll reduce my bill and peak time loading on the grid?

Resistive heaters are capable of exceeding 1,700°C quite easily and are used today in industrial processes. The tungsten filament in a lightbulb operates at 1,800-3,000°C. The difficulty in using resistive heaters for industrial processes is primarily economic. Electricity is generally much more expensive than fossil gas per unit of heat delivered. This can be addressed by purchasing electricity when it is cheap and storing it as thermal energy like what Rondo or Antora are doing with their thermal batteries. High power density thermal transfer at high temperatures is also a challenge because air is a poor conductor and can incur large pumping losses. Also at very high temperatures you may need to prevent oxygen from entering the system which can add cost.

What is with the (perfectly silly) superimposed text that takes so long to decipher that I have to keep stopping the video?!!! FAIL!! (Talk about 'form over function'!!)

The most modern heat pumps are getting in excess of 500% efficiency. 300% is rather old hat…

All those turbines will be foked in 5 years due to corrosian lol

I want to live in a world where Aptera makes it.

Surely a “Duracell Bunny” must be a copyright infringement?

Heat pumps seem to require a lot of maintenance. My HVAC (with natural gas heat) system is 7 years old and I've done nothing to it. I don't think you can make it 1 years with a heat pump without something needing to be done.

I hope that when MG's 'solid state' batteries come this year they will quickly find their way into ordinary cars rather than long range saloons. Keeping the range of the car and reducing battery density reduces the size of battery and motor needed which in turn reduces the capacity of battery needed for the same range creating a virtuous circle and if you can charge at home every night you don't need a 600 mile range (you can't safely drive for 600 miles without a break anyway!

Managed 1:21 before the audio and visual “effects” were too much. Please just go back to presenting information in a sober, consumable manner.

Sorry legalising electric scooters is madness, I work at one of the countries major hospitals and we have on average 3 people in our intensive care unit from accidents caused by electric scooters, motorbike riders used to be out most regular patients now it's scooter riders!

Blower door testing and air sealing are under appreciated tools for comfort and energy efficiency.

The UK, Europe, Germany and the rest of the world have been too slow to transition to wind and solar energy combined with battery storage and all electric vehicles. Wind and solar energy do not need to be imported and can be produced locally in any country. Battery storage is key for base load power.
Europe needs to provide more incentives for homes and businesses to install electric heat pumps and get rid of old polluting gas and oil boilers. The move to electric vehicles will also be sped up. There is no good reason to help fund Putin's war by buying oil, gas and coal from Russia. There is a Climate Crisis making weather events more extreme. Time to switch to renewable energy. The future is renewables. They are safer, cleaner and cheaper than fossil fuels. It is time for governments to end fossil fuels industry subsidies.

Is all the solar on house roofs ever taken into consideration when working out where electricity is generated ? It would be sooooo much more sensible to build Solar PV farms on industrial roofs rather than grade A farm land.
Where is all that Dogger Wind energy coming onshore ?

Could we have legible on-screen text please?

yay, spin the centrifugally compressed ultra hot air. microwave is still better than air frier, yep it can also melt steel.

That all sounds fantastic and I wish I could participate, but I rent a flat because its too expnsive to get on that old ladder and so I cannot have solar panels or a heat pump or upgrade my insulation so I cannot be energy patriotic or go greener in any way that my landlord has or does not want to provide. Also, when are the cost savings for all this green energy we are generating going to get applied? I heard that our energy bills are calculated using the most expensive forms of energy generation such as coal or gas instead of the savings from green energy? Plenty of people still energy poor. we constantly get tbelittled for using too much energy but government dont always seem to make the right decisions to help except more tax on my non electric car that I can't replace with electric because its so expensive and I dont have access to my own cheap charger because I rent and my local council arent installing many public chargers because they want to force people onto public (expensive again) transport. We need a better plan.

That is SO hot when she says "aluminum'!!

And, breathe. For us to absorb your information, please slow down the presentation.

What about nuclear energy. Historicallu nuclear energy has been tne cleanest

It says something about your particular audience that you can zip through a "V2G" section without even needing to explain what it stands for! In the real world … at least regarding 99% of the people I know … nobody knows that V2G means "vehicle to grid" and they certainly don't know why/how it might be a useful thing! (Great channel and presentation but it does sometimes feel like speaking to the converted rather than informing those who could do with getting up to speed with recent developments.)

If you haven't done so allready you should make an episode about how privete cartrafic espessially in cities isn't compatible with a "green future". If you have pleace link below. Cheers 🙂

Please talk about tidal energy

Hey, great video! Only two things here: who's paying for all this and why are energy prices rising and rising (all over the world) to their highest prices ever? These are the 'real' facts that people are never told!
