Interesting & Historical Maps You Should See 

It also missed that Lithuania is second place

I might not be the only one to say this but the wind and solar generation map of 2019 it showed that the second one was Lithuania with 39% not Ireland with 30%.

Yeah about France, it might not have wind or solar energy but have nuclear energy that make it better than Denmark in CO2 consumption ^^ see : www.electricitymap.org/map

It clearly says "Wind and SOLAR generation" on the map

You are definitely portuguese

Lol true

No Venice is Patrick needing water.

I denounce Venice!

Supersum Creations nice door monster reference

Yea the lack of Nuclear kind of annoyed me, relative to nat. gas or coal it is totally clean energy. I’m normally not a fan of France, but their utilization of nuclear really gets my respect.

Yeah I was also going to point out that France is mostly nuclear.

It is also a bit misleading because it only shows the production of energy. Countries like Norway buys and stores danish wind and solar power when they are producing more power than they need, meaning even if Norway doesn't produce a lot of solar and wind power by their own they still are powered by it.

Yeah totally agree, Iceland generated almost 100% of its electricity through volcanic activity which is considered to be clean, so that map doesn't justify

Nuclear is not clean and indirectly peroduces huge amounts of CO2.

Same counts for Switzerland and Austria. Both also use alot of waterpower.

😂😂😂 WATERPOWER.

@@engchia Sorry, Hydroelectric Power. Mr. Dr. Dr. Professor.

And Iceland gets just about all their power from geothermal plants. This, of course, makes perfect sense since it’s sitting right on top of a volcanically active region, and will continue to be this way indefinitely.

No it's because Norway is lying and gets most of its power from nuclear/Russian oil 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🐵🐵🤡🤡🤡🤡

Same goes for Norway, but the map only focuses on wind and solar power. Not thermal or water as Iceland and Norway utilizes.

@@Tobiz0rZ also doesn't show nuclear which is also a clean energy even if it has other problems

@@Tobiz0rZ but he said clean energy which is false

Same would apply for Quebec if we would've won the referendum in 95...

Well, yes. But if you look at the map itself, it says wind and solar energy. And in those spesific terms both Iceland and Norway are out of the equation. So I think we both agree that he should have done better research/phrased himself better regarding the subject.

True😂

Switzerland also has a huge glass fiber network for data transmission.

You got me

Frandy's Weather Channel *Jelly has left America*

@@koantao8321 Same in Romania. There is a huge circle of fiber that encircle Romania.

It is strange, because hydro and nuclear are more self sustaining and cleaner than solar and wind

The same goes for Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, and other countries, that look bad on that map, even though for instance Slovakia is 60% nuclear.

@@SleepyJoeFlorida nuclear is self sustaining?

@@drbritishdude it produces less co2

@@SleepyJoeFlorida except for the nuclear waste....

It's bad theology, but as a fellow American I appreciate the sentiment.

@@Visorak16 Well mark twain was critical of Religion, something I don't agree with him with because I am religious, but mostly because edgy Athiests quote him whenever they can

Visorak16 Bad theology, but good satire.

Most people learn geography because of an interest in military history though, at least in my estimation.

Kim we spoke about this No.

Give the internet to your people you miser

The problem with nuclear power, at least until we get fusion power, is the waste. We don't know how to properly get rid of it.

Always has been

Happy Pennsylvanian noises

Always has been

Pennsylvania is really like the bigger brother that got in the club before us and was a original member

same for france with a whoping 80% nuclear (0 emission) while germany seems to have a good score but is still running charcoal power generation

@@Martel_Clips norway be like 96% hydro 3%wind 1%coal

but then again the geothermal dynamics of the Icelandic underground aren't exactly environmentally sound, though not a man made problem

@@FenceThis yeah, but just blame Mother Nature for that. A volcano will erupt whenever it wants, regardless of whatever humans do.

howard baxter. true

I hate Turkey for this :/. In history they steal from Greeks everything :(

Wdym? Greece sucks right now because of no fault but their own! Their economy is still trash despite EU loans - it’s just sad

@@yakob71 poor guy :D weather is amazing in İzmir rn

I love it when an underrated joke results in a flame war. It's a 2-for-1 special!

Yakob Turkey can invade and conquer all of Greece in a single night lol

Kind of same for us in Estonia. Thos specific internet map has been around for a bit, remember seeing it on reddit too. Romania has fast internet but lower % of people with access to this internet, its closer to those other "green" countries on the map now but still behind in that. Theres also internet freedom, prices etc. What do you even do past some points of speed? Im content with what I have rn, could easily downgrade to half that.

But to defend Germany they are phasing out coal

@@haydenprewer8388 But only because gas got cheaper so coal is no longer economically viable. That’s why they’re building second pipeline from Russia. And the reason the gas got so cheap, is because it’s waste product during fracking for oil in America. So as Americans are drilling for oil as crazy, and finding all this natural gas as waste product, they are frantically trying to sell it everywhere, because you can’t store gas easily like oil or coal, and that is lowering global price of gas. So on paper, Germany is getting less CO2 emissions. But in reality, there is only one atmosphere, borders don’t matter for CO2 emissions. And those go up because more of oil is consumed globally. And in regards to solar, this is map of solar radiation: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_irradiance#/media/File:Global_Map_of_Global_Horizontal_Radiation.png Solar panels make sense in red and orange areas. It doesn’t make economic sense in yellow areas. And it doesn’t make ecological sense in green and blue areas. Again, on paper Germany will have less CO2 emissions, but once again, only one atmosphere. They released more CO2 in China in creation of those, and then in transport and then in recycling (if there ever will be recycling) than what Germany saves. People often forgot how in the north Europe actually is. Look at 45 parallel line on that map. All major economies like US, China, India, Japan are largely bellow it, while Germany is north of it. German energy policy is the opposite of ecologic. They should copy more France. Instead they are pretending to live in subtropic region with a lot of sun.

@@stafer3 thanks (you look well-informed 😉)

Strange how France is one of the only nations hitting the goals for CO2 emissions time and again, that it predominately uses nuclear power, and yet somehow America can't figure out how we could possibly arrive at our CO2 goals. Hey liberals, can we fucking have nuclear power already?! How much global warming is it going to take? Do we literally have to be on fire?

@@haydenprewer8388 - They're "phasing out coal" by replacing them with natural gas. What they actually did was phase out _nuclear_ and replace _that_ previously clean load with more fossil fuel generation because their massive increase in solar and wind couldn't make a dent in the lost production. Cutting nuclear was a massive, _massive_ mistake for Germany.

Same with Austria while 13% seems about right for wind and solar - it ignores the fact that 60% of the total electricity produced comes from hydroelectric power stations like from rivers

Hydropower is a big deal in all mountainous countries. But Latvia also gets a very large part of electricity from hydropower stations. We have three big ones while both Lithuania and Estonia only have one big hydropower dam each. The Estonian one is what causes that "weird" part of border with Russia -- the border apparently just follows the old riverbed.

Don’t forget geothermal power as well. No need to use solar or wind when you can get all your energy from the ground.

The Portuguese didn't find Australia's most fertile land, along the eastern and southern coasts.

Well, Spain has lots of high-speed railways but no one goes on them, so they are white elephants.

I'm actually surprised Japan isn't higher

That project inspired the West Africa Union it’s Similar to the Africa union but with military alliances too

That’s not his fault, he didn’t make these maps. Its the responsibility of the map-makers.

@@MerkhVision You are wrong. The maps are fine and precise, but he wasn't careful enough when analyzing them. And I have to say that I really enjoy his videos. So it is not a hate comment at all, I just wanted to give additional information.

About the internet i want to add that most familys choose a basic speed just to stay connected so 25Mbps is really good speed even for 1080p video streaming. Energy graph. Clean energy is not for every country. For example the balkan states have a vast network of rivers and most of the territory are mountains plus the region gets hit regularly by earthquakes so windmill is not a good choice.

Oui

In real life we call “lore” history lmao

Thank you!

Well it doesn't reflect population density at all in spain.

@@jwolternova1051 spain has a population of 46M and france around 67M and germany 80M the length of railroad per capita isn't really proportional one big thing to consider though is how many trains are on thoose railroads and i can't really comment on that

​@@Martel_Clips Yes but I'm refering to different population densities through Spain.

I think the railways are actually reflections of what cities are massive transit/trade hubs.

It’s called the Florida Panhandle. It is basically Alabama and everything south of it is like a Latin American country

It’s Florida’s keys, dumbass, not a strip of land. Edit: Are you talking about the NORTHERN strip of land, or...?

Joseph Stalin i think he was referring to the panhandle and meant southern coast of the US

@@DiegoVio yes I think they're talking about the first map on how a small piece of Florida extends extremely West

Apart from the nasty nuclear waste that cant be destroyed and kills anyone and everything if it gets into the environment. You know, the stuff that solar panels and offshore windfarms dont produce.

seth bennett Producing solar panels is highly poluting, also you cant recicle windmills or panels so, instead, they are buried in the countryside, very ecologic. Nuclear plants produce virtually no waste, the amount of energy a gram of uranium produces 80-200 million jules, thousand more that what killograms of others produce. I dont know what you mean about killing everything but nuclear plants are way safer than coal and gas. Dont be an ignoran and read more, we need nuclear energy if we want clean energy (combination of renewables and nuclear) France is the country in EU that emits the less CO2.

@@gabriel-qz9ps they do produce waste, granted its a low amount but its still highly radioactive. France doesnt have a safe longterm way of storing it. Note also that you cant recycle a nuclear plant either. I dont know why you would want to recycle any of these things, just leave them where they are. Yes france emits the least CO2 but it stands proudly in 1st when it comes to highly radioactive nuclear waste (physical as in its a solid, not a gas). The path to renewable energy is power generation suited to region. Solar panels in regions of extreme sun, onshore windfarms in land regions with high wind, offshore windfarms in sea areas with high wind, tidal power in areas of water that experience high movement like maelstroms. Nuclear power is clean on the surface, but if in 100 years or so we are having issues concerning the storage of nuclear waste.

seth bennett Solar is great! But if you are so worried on waste, why aren’t you taking the toxic elements found in retired solar panels?

@@peneficial1643 they can be contained easily and disposed of. nuclear waste is really hard to contain and has a ridiculously long half life

And further, most 1900s railways in Ireland were, due to low population density, narrow gauge (or single nain line track with passing loops) and other than tourist ones left, all narrow gauges have all gone. Also partition in Ireland in 1920 meant a large no of cross border lines were closed (esp due to the then anti- rail attitude of the old NI Stormont regime). Note on the Ireland map, the lack of lines in the North West, mainly due to that Stormont pro-road bias. But both rail cos there now, IE (Iarnrod Eireann/Irish Rail) and NIR (Translink NI Railways) have a much better attitude..
