Understanding Energy - The Math to Net Zero
มุมมอง 15Kปีที่แล้ว
Climate change is real and we need to do something about it. However, the green path forward to a majority wind, solar, and battery world does not add up. They require massive amounts of land, water, steel, concrete, glass, copper, and precious metals, with much of that impact having to be repeated every 20 years. It is just not a sustainable plan to provide energy to the planet for the life of...

Nice, practical suggestions on how to see some of the area for those who aren't back country hikers. Thanks!
Born and raised here don't come here there's no jobs here the people are not nice either especially they're not nice to native Americans this town is a horrible town and I wish I was never born here.
Happy Birthday to you from a perfect stranger Gene! You were 10 when I was born. The most important thing we both have is Jesus! Without Him 70 and 80 years would have been wasted on this planet.
New York doesn't know which way is up.

OK, but I didn't see a 600' layer of dinosaurs. I prefer dino oil over that stuff from tiny sea creatures. My lifted Chevy square body is embarrassed burning anything but ancient dino hydrocarbons.
Haha, right?
Well done
This is a great dose of reality from a Sharp mind and brilliantly presented and narrated. We all thank you and should share this great message extensively.
This is an excellent presentation that needs to be taught to school age children so they can make informed decisions. They are taught to vilify the nasty oil and gas industry that supported our family for 40+ years with one paycheck. Thanks for sharing this insightful presentation. The Farmington BLM officer has definitely drank the red cool aid. You have to be old to understand that!!
This is right on. Everyone needs to watch and understand this video. Politicians can (and do) say anything to get votes, the uniformed people can hold rallies and protests, but an honest look tells the truth. Thanks George for presenting this information is a clear and simple to understand manner.

As long as the government continues to give free money to those who continue the investments, the investments will continue.
Excellent 👍
hi dear, I was watching videos on TH-cam when I saw your channel. I like your video content. But I noticed one thing your video views are getting fewer and fewer. Later I researched your channel and videos and found that SEO optimization is not done in your videos due to which your videos are not going to your targeted people, your videos are getting less views and channel subscribers are getting less. I can say as a TH-cam expert if you can do channel and video SEO friendly like tag, hashtag, description, and keyword research then your TH-cam channel and video will grow fast. I think your TH-cam channel will make your dream come true

short and to the point - love the simple explanations ...it was very understandable to follow - nice glimpse into the world of oil/gas and why fracking provides great energy potential finds
Great video! Sorry about your drone ☹️
Watching your video, you show the LaPlata Mtns, with the sedimentary layers. I work for El Paso Oil & Gas Exploration Company back in 1978 there in Farmington. Where I was able to draft many of the maps for the Four Corners Geological Society publication. I also drafted up a map like that, with the mtns, etc. Where did you get the map that you used? It is at 7:42 in the video.
What a great fact-filled video! Thanks for putting it up.
Why don't they go after the coal
That was a great presentation. Ive stood on the summit of shiprock twice. The drone footage brought back some fine memories.
oil is NOT a fossil fuel it is a MINERAL fuel. The fossil fuel myth was simply to make it sound like oil was scarce and would run out. Oil will never run out.
Fracking also leaks methane in quantities sufficient to that out dead things in permafrost in measures large enough to make litigation of "EXXON" back to bankruptcy an ethically justified if somewhat futile and delayed response to the abuse of the future of our children and theirs, as extinction goes beyond the 69% loss of free ranging biodiversity, with opportunist mirroring human practice, the rats and the cockroach, the fleas and mosquito, become our nearest and most familiar companions. Serve us right for being dumb ass capitalists, consuming shit dressed up as chocolate!
All good if you ignore poisoning folk for 40 years when they burn gas for cooking with some of its byproduct other than just the carbon dioxide, as well as making no mention of the PFAS contaminating everyone's tissues via the air and the water,as an unmentionable systemmic pollutant from fracking procedure, but then as a geologist your responsibility ends with prospectus, and what happens after that is up to the arsonist and petrochemical hydrocarbon halide plastics profiteers. Worth a dollar, life isn't.
"Old time rock & roll" ha, love the metaphor.
haha, me too!
Great video. I also spent a career in the energy business and agree with virtually everything you said in this video. It is unfortunate that too many if not even most, people have very little idea of how much energy is actually need to to drive the world economy. Thanks
Great analogies. Simple explanations to a complex subject. Thanks
This is the most American explanation of anything ever.
What a nice comment. Thanks.
Forty years ago we had Schlumberger recruiting electrical engineers at the University of Florida showing us all of their neat tools for doing down-hole surveys. They basically need electrical engineers because of the sophisticated instrumentation involved connected to the computers in the truck. Years later I met someone who knew Mr Schlumberger...
Fracking is only lucrative due to financial alchemy.
Why don't you call Muriatic Acid by its real name? I'm positive you know its real name. Good vid btw.
GOOD VIDEO, NOW I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU LOCATE GAS AND OIL
Enjoyed the clip, have worked in exploration drilling and am highly familiar with the terms..!
I drilled many oil and gas wells, logged and perforated them. They don’t teach you anything on a drill rig except how to keep that rig going and how to be a man. Didn’t realize they took resistant measurements to find the oil. Thanks for education… great vid minus the singing…lol, thanks.
Excellent video! Thank you.
So pipe’s don’t crack? No ground water is polluted for sure??
Ignorant. Injection of Sea Water into spent oil wells in California was PROVEN to cause earthquakes including activation of MAJOR EARTHQUAKE FAULTS. Hard to ignore video of tap water catching fire. But it's the Radon gas that makes the lung cancer.
When I think of "Four Corners" I think of that huge pillar of dirty coal smoke from the four corners power plant powering Los Angeles and poisoning Four Corners area. And fracking releases Radon gas, but OK it only kills locals.
Radon gas is released anyplace there has been a sea and sediments. The heavy metals drop to the bottom and as the earth pushes up and erodes sediments in the midwest you will get a constant outside level of 1 pico-curie. Some of the coal mines have been measured at 200 and people worked down there for years. Some got lung cancer and some didn't which is how they first discovered how dangerous it was in confined areas. Outside, not so much. If you don't want any move to Florida.
@@Cwra1smith Not really. Learn Science. I did NDT. X-raying pipes etc. Radon boils at -60 and propane at -40 so workers ahead of the propane separator were REQUIRED to wear radiation badges. The original lava that made the original rock had Uranium and Thorium; today 1ppm and 2 ppm (half-life age of Earth and age of Universe respectively). Due to Earth's extraordinary abundance of radioactive elements out core is still alive and only "proto-star" Jupiter, besides Earth, emits more energy than Solar. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundance_of_the_chemical_elements
@@stephenjacks8196 I din't ask for a science lesson, I merely stated that Radon is everywhere in the Midwest. The least of anyone's worries would be an oil well.
@@Cwra1smith The least of anyone's worries should be flammable tap water. Gas pipeline workers are REQUIRED to wear a radiation test badge if working on gas pipeline before propane extraction. This is due to Radon normally in. Natural Gas. Deep lung tissues radioactive particulates - Radon fits - like Plutonium cause likely 100% lung cancer in 5 years from 1 microgram.
@@Cwra1smith Notice that other countries smoke more than the US but the US has 10X the lung cancer? ALL of the phosphate mines that provide fertilizer for (intensely fertilized) American Tobacco farms were originally Thorium mines (hint, hint).
Great video! I lived in Durango, Co., around 2006, 2007. Actually, out on the mesa towards Bayfield. Fracking was everywhere. Such and amazing region. And a really great place to live. Watch out for the Deer!
I used to take my cat on long trips over the mountains (bank tech). Those "see in the dark" eyes alerted me to STUPID DEER in the middle of the road many times.
petroleum synthesis is not organic, it produced from water and limestone, heat and minerals as catalyst. first becomes methane (NG), after that all hydrocarbons , deep and slow.
I just want to know how I never heard about the bisti badlands before this, despite having visited mesa verde often as a kid
It's a very cool place!!
i really like these geology/petroleum videos. i appreciate your personal spin. (context: im geology undergrad, new to this) does fracking affect isostatic forces, or is its function to increase overall porosity only? can the pressure of the oil well come from isostasy from the overburden, or is it mainly the result of the gaseous effervescency forces? (does the rock help to squeeze out the oil?) for that matter, in what kind of reservoirs is fracking performed mostly? for example, the anticlines of utah/colorado vs the flat formations as in the dakotas?
We moved to Farmington 5 years ago. Live not that far from the Piedra Vista HS. I guess we drive by that well most days. I wasn't smart enough to be a geologist, so became a forester. Still want to learn and you aced it, but being me, need to watch again and again? Thanks so much, Jim
Wow, Thank You ! ! 🙂😎👍
NOW THAT Was very darn Good - THANKS ! ! ! 🙂😎👍
Nice video Mr. Sharpe!
Lesson ONE for geologists and paleontologists should be the explanation of the catastrophism theory. This theory is based on the findings of the French naturalist and paleontologist Georges Cuvier around the year 1800. During the excavations when making roads through France, he discovered the fossils from land and sea creatures in the same layer, strata. But also in the layer on top of that and the one below. So he concluded that the planet Earth is suffering from a recurring natural disaster where flooding must cover a large part of the land even on high places. But I assume that this theory is neglected because nobody could think of the possible cause of regular floods. But ancient books tell us that our planet Earth is suffering from a cycle of seven natural disasters. By seriously thinking and researching we will find out that the only cause of a cycle of recurring disasters can be a celestial body that orbits our sun in an eccentric orbit. Than that body, planet, will be close to the sun for a short while and disappear in the universe for a long time. Much more convincing information about the recurring flood cycle, the re-creation of civilizations and its timeline and ancient high technology can be found in the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". The book answers many of your questions about our past. It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9
So 200 years ago a guy with a shovel discovered something no one else has been able to comprehend since and conjured up an imaginary planet to explain it? Ancient high technology? Are you an alchemist?
@@Cwra1smith We have abundant and convincing evidence for the existence of a celestial body causing havoc on our planet including many pictures.
@@Cwra1smith it's a better explanation than dead sea creatures turn into hydrocarbons that make gas that doesn't float but migrates sideways through rock, when those creatures don't just become fossils that is.
@@matthewseed3386 The creation of hydrocarbons takes millions of years with all the sediments pressing down on them.
@@Cwra1smith are the sediments not full of organisms that will also become hydrocarbons? I doesn't jive. It never has. We have lakes of oil and shores of coal on Titan a moon of Jupiter. Methane is in all kinds of places in the solar system and throughout the universe. I think that the fossil fuel story is to charge lots of money for a " finite" resource. It's also funny how when I was in school 30 years ago we were supposed to run out of oil in 30 years and they just keep finding more. I think scientists often have no clue about things but they are too egotistical to say so not to mention afraid that saying something that goes against the standard model may lose them book deals and more. Something just screams bullshit to me whenever I hear about how oil is made. I think there's a better chance that our planet is a living being and that is a vital fluid that it needs. We know very little about the bottom of the ocean and even less about what lies beneath the Earth's crust and much less about how planets are formed yet we seem to think we have all the facts about oil. Nope, no way.
love the vid. its interesting that geologists always put music at the beginning and end of their vids.
haha, and so it should be!
