Let's do this.

@gudenau Absolutely will do!

I won't be able to until after work today, tho.😅

@GoodNewsGreyShoes They were. The video is well worth taking the time, and almost anyone (myself included) will come out of it more educated.

[edit] I’ll also add; some lessons are better learned not through a summary but through the actual process of learning. A summary and an education are different. Otherwise school would be a week of cliff notes and done. These are topics I feel deserve learning; because the summary isn’t really that new.

There’s value in spending time.

Technology Connections Oh man, right-wing heat pump and dishwasher spaces must be in a wild tizzy this weekend. This is going to be worse than all of the people suddenly asking why Star Trek had to go and get all “woke”.

@mattwilcox I can accept that, & apologize for assuming otherwise.🙏

I genuinely agree with everything you've said, here!💯 You're absolutely right about the merits of this video & thorough study itself, & I certainly hadn't meant to suggest I believed otherwise.

>"A summary & an education are different"

Precisely! A summary (tl:dw) is *not* meant to replace watching the video (it never could!), but to ADD something: your personal take-aways!

TL:DW is an accessibility aid, not a substitute.❤️‍🩹

@TechConnectify This was amazingly well researched and put together, like most of your videos.

Hopefully this will get some people to understand the importance of moving on from fossil fuels many instances.

I came for the video and stayed for the amazing rallying cry during the latter part.

Keep up the amazing research and thank you for speaking out, though it's unfortunate that you felt like you had to.

@TechConnectify This might just be the best video anyone has ever made. A VERY necessary video, to say the least.

@techindepth27 @TechConnectify @chrismerkel I'm sure youtube ads give some money, but if I remember correctly he has said in the past that most of the money comes from patreon memberships.

@TechConnectify
Just wanted to say, watched most of this video, absolutely loved it. Like I already knew most of this stuff, but even more than the bit of added detail, the way that you framed it, the explanation you gave, and the fact that you even said at the end "I'm saying this because this way convinces people."

...I am definitely going to be using this exact way of framing the issue way more often, probably with the added fact that acquiring oil has required a lot of warfare, so we are literally just asking that the money going into warfare and environmental response get put into long-term energy-security instead.

No, I dont do YouTube since man Years.

@TechConnectify Some of my fav yt comments on this video:

> When it's so bad, even your[e] favorite dishwasher influencer has to speak up:

> This is the most angry someone could ever possibly be when holding a solar panel

> "There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."

@TechConnectify Oh my, I've finally got to watch this video. I'm glad you did it. It's great, it's rebellious and has anger in it. Any sane person should be felling angry about is happening in your country right now.
As you say, everyone has to speak about it. Everything is political, only those that abuse politics for their own benefits are the one that wants you out of it.

@TechConnectify thanks so much for the video, particularly the lather half.
I do feel the need to comment on the section on photovoltaics recycling though.
I'm far from an expert on this, but I do have the privilege of research proposals in this field crossing my desk every now and then and having occasional contact with the wonderful people at Fraunhofer ISE, among others.

For everything except the aluminium frame, recycling is significantly complicated by the fact that the adhesive used is a resin which can't easily be molten/dissolved. Right now the state of the art is to just shred the glass with everything adhered to it and use it as concrete fill.
The one exception ist that there's a bit of a scramble to capture the silver contained in the solder of panels manufactured during the first boom years of photovoltaics which are starting to age out, but as I understand that comes at the cost of wasting the other materials.

Theres lots of cool research in this field: how to manufacture for recycling, how to melt the cells and electrolyze the impurities out if the silicon, etc.
But were still pretty far away from having anything like a circular economy for photovoltaics.

@TechConnectify man, Im so proud. This video has to won a real life prize. Give him the Nobel

@TechConnectify

THANK YOU

@TechConnectify it's such a good video

@TechConnectify Absolutely fantastic

@TechConnectify I have been following you for many years but only ubtil now did I feel the urge and need to reach out and say something. I truly admire what you said and the way you stand up for others.

@TechConnectify great video. I'm sorry so many people are having to live through this shit.
