despite the fact that singapore is warmer than my home country, i still love going there. while it's also not perfect in there, i see their environmental efforts.
i'm curious where you're from, because in singapore, it's recycling efforts for citizens are abysmal, compared to countries such as Australia who sort out their trash.
@@Kafir667 there are multiple reasons for that. 1. Lack of awareness among the general public. 2. A significant number of Singaporeans are not literate in English (all the blue bins are English-text only, even the website that details what can be recycled is also English-only) 3. As a consequence of points 1 and 2, some use the blue bin as a trash bin, throwing in contaminated recyclables and ruining the rest of the contents in the affected bins 4. Possibly too many life stressors that recycling takes a back seat to more pressing needs. 5. There were a few controversies such as the SportsSG shoe recycle campaign where a rogue contractor exported donated shoes to be sold in neighbouring countries. Those who learned of this might have lost faith and stopped recycling. 6. And to top it all off, the success of recycling efforts also depend on whether there is demand for recycled materials. Otherwise, it is not worth for companies to recycle as they will be unable to sell their recycled material and/or products.
Or at all. Biden and Harris got America's biggest infrastructure bill for decades passed, then promptly got voted out. I'm sure Trump's party will claim all the credit for the bill they fought.

I genuinely believe if Singapore instituted a national water reclamation scheme it would help to reduce consumption, and energy, to an extent. Pipes that also funnel water could also have water driven generators to help produce electricity akin to mini hydro-dams, thereby utilising the precious space that Singapore lacks. Vertical farming could literally also assist in generating a home grown industry, helping to produce food locally thereby helping to reduce fresh produce that is imported.

some corrections: 11:01 - "hydrogen as renewable energy source" -- hydrogen is not really a renewable source of energy, because its not a source (its storage, so the actual energy source needed to produce the hydrogen is either renewable or not ) 12:25 - "preserves the same chemical composition as the ocean" -- they are trying to sequestrate carbon, so no its not the same chemical composition (13:10 - hence the impact is not clear)
It takes 3 units of energy to create 1 unit of energy storing hydrogen. In other words, 2 units of energy are wasted for each unit stored. Then hydrogen is difficult to store & transport since it leaks through almost everything. You want to install some tidal stream turbines in that Strait between Singapore & Malacca. Since Singapore is located at the interface between the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean, you should be able to generate enough to keep you going.
The issue with that is international waters and shipping. Sufficiently large anchors would break the power cables, since burying them in the strait is hard due to depth Also hydrogen transportation will most likely be done through ammonia, larger and will be liquid without being cryogenically cooled, all you need is pressure
i wish all countries learn from Singapore! i am Malaysian and Malaysia is sooooooooo behind. how i wish Malaysia can just give up the land and let Singapore take over.

Living in a city with a land area of 3,780 km² and 3 million people, I find a land area of 735.6 km² and 6 million people referred to as a state a bit amusing.
Singapore is an experiment and as a Singaporean I can share that we've started to witness multiple existential crises in the past decade. Housing market, population, climate, scarcity of land - Everything starting to take it's toll on the system for the first time. Remember, Singapore has not even lived out 1 whole generation yet - It is a brand new city. I think it is critical for any Singaporean to have a Plan B, a second home - or remain at the mercy of however the government decides to deal with these crises in the future, and how it will inevitably affect their lives and future.
Land scarcity is a myth. Compare maps from 1950s to today to see how much bigger Singapore is. The rich stay in big houses while the rest stay in pigeon holes in the sky
Yupz, We will alwasy diversify our sources for almost everything. From food, to water and foeign investments, never rely only 1 source. Similar to how we should diversify income and investment paths. We never know what the future holds, so it's better to be safe than sorry an to plan ahead and be risk averse.
Singapore is already amazing. I hope they don't fall into the climate bs trap. Just look at what they are doing here in Europe, destroying economy, fishing industry, farming, etc.
Electricity imports has its downsides, Singapore should ensure that it can meet its power needs in the event if electricity imports were to be disrupted as the country has no control over the situation where the source comes from. Say for instance, disruptions, natural disasters, reliability and quality issues when importing power from overseas. Worst off is when politics and economics/money is made an issue. Singapore has nearly 60 years of experience dealing with its immediate neighbour on the water agreement. Often it is being used as a political tool for gains/leverage. Then there's the issue of costs/pricing. A contract that was agreed and signed but yet apparently the country's neighbour for some reason choose to make an issue of the contract. This can happen too for electricity imports should a country decide to act in its own interest, which is within their own right of course. Better to have lesser headaches and go for self reliance
@@myoung1970s No it will be Uniquely Singapore. You don't need to follow existing building styles of skyscrapers to look modern. You need to put function above esthetics.

Even then, a lot of imports will be necessary to get to 100% renewables.

I see a lot of comments that are self-depreciating ("I wish the US could do this and that...!"). Singapore is doing very well. I am not taking their merit away (there's a strong policitcal willingness) but bigger countries (much bigger, I should say) should not feel bad. The problems are very different, and for a lot of things, it is much easier to manage a city/state (border protection, networks of hospitals, post offices etc, etc).
Something something...Singapore is awesome, yet again. BTW, climate change is not having "impacts"; it's having _effects._ Where are people learning this nonsensical jargon from?
Equatic does not make sense. It will take more energy to electrolyze water and capture carbon than burning hydrogen. Singapore needs to look into small modular nuclear reactors.
We’re already looking into small modular nuclear reactors and also geothermal technologies as there’s a lot to explore underground the country. Thanks for your feedback!
@@ditsygirl5409 ideal for trains yes, ideal for buses...not really, unless you don't mind taking a bus that travels at half of the legal speed limit majority of the time due to the sheer number of traffic lights and bus stops. All that acceleration and braking lead to higher fuel consumption
@HurricaneBacklash even the worst performing bus will triumph over a car in carbon footprint because there’s so many passengers in Singapore sharing one bus versus a car only carrying one or up to 5 pax. It’s no brainer which one is of lower footprint and better for Mother Earth.
How could average Singaporeans even care about the environment when we can barely afford to live day-to-day? Just scratch the shiny surface a little bit and you’ll see.
No, the lesson here is that public housing is not just A solution, but THE SOLUTION. Western liberal democracies need to copy Singapore and Vienna, and have at least half of the housing market in metropolitan urbanities be public housing owned ans operated by a monolithic, nationalized public entity whose sole mandate is providing for a robust public housing market with which the private industry will not only compete with but be subordinate to. The problem with public housing in north America is theres almost none of it, its radically underfunded, and none of it exists within a mandate for its existence to be comparable to the private industry. North America is just completely cucked to real estate conglomerates and ma and pa's that care more about their home value continuing to grow unsustainably than they do their own grand children ever being able to even afford rent, nevermind home equity.
ok these are basic level city adapting - was looking for more innovative solutions and did not find - they are doing great work building with plants - also buying a waterview and looking at floating solar panels would be depressing
I think they mean average housing cost for Singaporean citizens (from the government housing board) divided by their average salary mate. Not very affordable if you're not Singaporean!

So, Singapore is betting the house on Hydrogen ?

Ideal country for electric cars, but sadly the fossil addiction is strong.
It’s not.. it’s ideal for public transport like buses and trains, even less carbon footprint than electric cars.
@@ditsygirl5409 ideal for trains yes, ideal for buses...not really, unless you don't mind taking a bus that travels at half of the legal speed limit majority of the time due to the sheer number of traffic lights and bus stops. All that acceleration and braking lead to higher fuel consumption
@HurricaneBacklash even the worst performing bus will triumph over a car in carbon footprint because there’s so many passengers in Singapore sharing one bus versus a car only carrying one or up to 5 pax. It’s no brainer which one is of lower footprint and better for Mother Earth.
We are phasing out petrol cars
@@HurricaneBacklashSingapore already introduced tons of electric buses, kindly do your research before commenting
affordable housing?????
Tommie, what❓ another one that had trouble with psle math ❓
Yes, but it’s called Melbourne :)
😂
I live in Melbourne

Singapore is tiny and can make itself anything-proof….most big countries cannot!
How could average Singaporeans even care about the environment when we can barely afford to live day-to-day? Just scratch the shiny surface a little bit and you’ll see.
spend less on bubble tea la
@@tritonyeah Yup sure. That'll solve it.
Then don't care about it so you'll pay an even bigger price.
BTO 4ROOM S$550-750K, how to pay for wife and kids?
@@tritonyeah agreed. A need and a want are not the same.
Hahahahaha Hahahahaha hahahaha 😂
No, the lesson here is that public housing is not just A solution, but THE SOLUTION. Western liberal democracies need to copy Singapore and Vienna, and have at least half of the housing market in metropolitan urbanities be public housing owned ans operated by a monolithic, nationalized public entity whose sole mandate is providing for a robust public housing market with which the private industry will not only compete with but be subordinate to. The problem with public housing in north America is theres almost none of it, its radically underfunded, and none of it exists within a mandate for its existence to be comparable to the private industry. North America is just completely cucked to real estate conglomerates and ma and pa's that care more about their home value continuing to grow unsustainably than they do their own grand children ever being able to even afford rent, nevermind home equity.
While simultaneously also being one of the highest per capita carbon emitters in the world.
Country is rich. But doesnt mean Singaporeans are rich.
Most Singaporean own a public housing home. What do u mean even! Go educate yourself. I bet you are the one who thinks govt owes u something.
when host say afortable house. I know it's propaganda
ok these are basic level city adapting - was looking for more innovative solutions and did not find - they are doing great work building with plants - also buying a waterview and looking at floating solar panels would be depressing
Affordable housing?😂😂😂 A one bedroom home is over $200K😮
I think they mean average housing cost for Singaporean citizens (from the government housing board) divided by their average salary mate. Not very affordable if you're not Singaporean!
@@hai2410try other countries... ??
Why are you 0000, just go to NYC, U know the one in UHesshay 🗽❓
Also Sooo expensive BUT BUT everyone makes money, when they sell their Govt HDB sourced flat 💵🤑❓
How's your math ❓
Try another city for affordable housing? Any of them? Of course, there are. But are you able to relocate? They need you?
