Will renewables stop the climate crisis? | DW Documentary

DW is the premier documentary station of the 21st century!!!! Living in the US but can’t stand the tv programs all full of cars, drugs, attorneys, insurance advertisements every minutes!!!! DW programs are so detailed and you can sit and watch with your kids knowing it will be the right content. It amazes me how rapid they produced richer documentary content. BRAVO!!!!

You Can't Judge A Video By Its Cover. you can by its first few chapters and certainly by its last.

1) shallow Geothermal (aka. heat pumps) for heating/cooling which reduces electricity demand by ~70%
2) increase wind/solar/geothermal/hydro installation
3) create walkable/bikeable cities (ebikes are most energy efficient method of transportation, including walking)
4) install enough mass-transit (trains, busses), to eliminate the need for the personal automobile

It's not a documentary

Here in Australia, 22 solar panels on the roof of my house provide me with five times more electrical energy than I can possibly use.

This is like the Swiss talking about the problems of chocolate making without a single word on cocoa production.

This is one long advertisement.

Nope. All that electricity requires metals & minerals that take millions of tons of fossil fuels to extract, process, smelt, transport.

Let's hope so!

How do they come out with hour long professional, well edited and researched documentaries everyday???? I think I’m missing something

I also wanna piintnout that thd fiber glass blades could be ground up and put into blocks to build house or tarmac forbroad surfaces

I actually thought that renewables wouldn't do much... However i am impressed with the advances that were made. If only this was done a long time a go...

That's Deutsch Welle for you; always exploring all angles

The entire country of Portugal ran solely on renewable energy for six days in a row.
Portugal produced 1102 GWh of renewable energy from wind, hydropower and sun, surpassing its demand of 840 GWh, which allowed it to even export electricity to Spain. It’s a record.
About 60% of Portugal’s energy comes from renewable sources today and is expected to run 100% on renewables before 2045.

Extreme problems call for extreme solutions

Why they are buying Big gas, diesel generator to supply, for example EV stations...

I can't love DW more, so nice, inspiring documentaries. Amazing to keep us update on the new tecnologies. It is my second best television broadcaster just right after BBC.

I think renewables would only work after we invented better storage, until then only nuclear and geothermal are economically visable.

Love DW Channels about all Renewables, such a amazing place to learn new things!!!

Super wonderful documentary and scientific prospective introduction for utilizing wind power, solar energy, US silicon Valley technology, and exploring more efficiency materials ..all these advanced methods and materials for reducing utilizing fossil energy...for stopping climate changes and recovering past neutral climate in far future...it was a great documentary introduced. Thank you( 🙏DW ) documentary channel for sharing
