Wind and solar can't help, because so far we don't have a way to store that energy.

So far there is only three sources of baseload electricity coal, some gas, nuclear and hydro.

Actually no generator is 24 7. They all break.

Step three get rid of all the utilities gas, water, electric, nuclear...

That's a fourfold increase over today's levels of nuclear power.

The whole thing is electric, the restaurant and the kitchen.

You can get a drainage grant these days.

I could make a contribution if I stop driving my car.

looking at wind data and solar data.

Water and Power?

They'd caused the water to back up, they needed electric, hydroelectric power.

It's got 160 wind farms, each 100 square kilometers in size, and that would be a twentyfold increase over today's amount of wind.

I suppose we'd better take Water and Power first.

And don't think that it's just in the poor world that things are wrong.

There's a backup generator.

And it is no more ambitious and no more crazy for us to consider doing that today, than it was for our ancestors to consider throwing railroads across the Sierra Nevada and building huge reservoirs and waterworks to bring water and power to California.

Torpedo ready, but thirty second fuse.

It takes about 20 minutes to create the acidified water in one of the chambers.

Keep away from the electrical equipment.

Every hospital has a back up electric generator in case of blackout.

All hospitals are equipped with a spare generator in case of a power outage.

In places like Denmark and Germany, they've maxed out on wind already.

And symbolically, the colors of the interior are green and yellow.

The goal is to turn this around.

Nuclear power to get 16 lightbulbs per person, you'd need two gigawatts at each of the purple dots on the map.

Should we allow the same mistake to happen again?

That's a big investment for a community.

Let's talk a little bit about how nuclear fission works.

This has to be a bridge to the point where you can get to wind, to the point where you can get to solar, to the point where you can get to nuclear and hopefully you won't build the next nuclear plant on a beautiful seashore next to an earthquake fault.

Noah Cross worked for the water department.

But in China they're saying, No, we're putting in 27 in the next 10 years.

Power it generates heat,

Parameters met. Hydraulics engaged.

All the streets had to be torn up.

And that's the very Congo river generating light the old heart of darkness now generating light with hydro electric power.

Who you with, the water department or the real estate office?

Now to charge the battery, we connect a source of electricity.

Iran is doing that right now.

Irrigating my land?

Nuclear power plants supply 20 of the nation's electricity.

We're often told though that only coal and nuclear plants can keep the lights on, because they're 24 7, whereas wind and solar power are variable, and hence supposedly unreliable.

And we could do that by perfectly sensible things like conservation, and wind power, nuclear power and coal to CO2 capture, which are all things that are ready for giant scale deployment, and work.

I've got a hydro conversion at a watermill that I own.

But her dream of Coal River Mountain Wind is her legacy.
