Why does this video feel so forced with -green- nonsense? As an engineer in oil and gas -disclaimer-, it takes more resources and pollution to build and maintain solar or wind operations per kW than burning hydrocarbons. Furthermore any attempt to reduce pollution comes at an efficiency cost that hurts the bottom line, these future people are going to have to be a new kind of human. Now nuclear, currently modular reactors that we have seen similar to on military vessels are buried on every military base, we might be able to meet baseload power with nuclear technology. Currently there are efforts by corporations like Microsoft to get these modular reactors to power large data centers but if part of you has doubts about burying reactors all over the USA, you are not wrong. Currently, we are in the process of decommissioning nuclear plants. We have cooling ponds all over the USA where if just 1 were to explode it would be a exetencial event. It's a great cold war idea to ensure if the grid fails the world ends but we have made little to no progress with the way nuclear power is done since then. Everything is still theoretical and until mankind needs a way to produce power domestically and not produce plutonium or atleast use it for domestic power, we will forever be stuck in the cold war era for nuclear.

There's no problems only solutions - John Lennon
We need to create fiber optic's infrastructure's that are connecting intranet's for our power grids so people from the internet are separated making it impossible to hack.
Because the intranet & fiber optic's are separated from fiber optic's of the internet fiber optic's. If you haven't studied
Nicholas Tesa's work I highly recommend to do so you'll find many solutions to today's problems. Thanks for what your doing --

Crash Courses are FUN and Educative! I am an Engineer I had FUN watching it! But are there so many sub-areas of Engineering not explored in those 46, 10 minutes shows that allow me to suggest more 4 Crash courses exploring more the 4 big areas. Thus we will have a total of around 200, 10 minutes programs!

Great Video! I am a secondary school student and i would love to work in engineering helping the environment in some way in the future but i am just not sure what kind of engineering course to do in college (e. g civil, mechanical etc. Do you know what would be the best course to go with?

Sadly you missed the biggest problems like plastic, waste, water + air pollution and human population increase. Instead you took the opportunity to promote climate change propaganda and a few other mindless problems. Green brothers you need to do better than this.

Can you do a crash course or another sort of video explaining the mueller report? This is obviously ridiculous and sad but I have a hard time trusting a summary from other news sources that have published one.
Too much bias.

BECCS has been shown not to work due to the massive areas needed for forestation, which would actually increase the average temp by reflecting less sunlight.
Anyone got any better ideas, or are we dead?

I'm so thankful to you Dr. Somara, it helps me very well to determine what I'll taking on college next year. But it breaks my heart when i was watching in this last video of this series -.
