Battery degradation is a significant piece of the equation. My plug-in hybrid car used to go almost 18 miles on a full charge. Now, 45,000 miles and several years later, I am lucky if I get 10 miles on that same charge. Replacing the batteries with newer ones is expensive. I hope Tesla is solving this degradation problem

Great explanation that has helped me to understand the real challenges. However, another method of electric generation is Tidal. This source will always be available so long as we don't lose the moon. Expensive yes but fuel is the recycled use of water

Peak demand limiting (demand response) for commercial, industrial and residential customers has been around at least 40 years in the U.S. Raising cooling setpoints a few degrees during peak hours and shutting off non-essentials makes a huge difference.

High voltage DC lines are also regularly used (and at much shorter distances) anytime you need to transmit power under water . The electromagnetic coupling between the (conductive) water and power lines in close proximity means much greater losses for AC in this scenario, which is why you find most of the world's high-voltage DC lines being used to transmit power across narrow parts of the sea.

tesla's battery installation in australia has been phenomenally successful at stabilizing the power grid to which it is connected. it can react to load changes in literally msec. and does so. it has saved a ton of money .

Typically base load is covered by nuclear and hydraulic because they are the cheapest. Then peak loads covered by coal plants, next cheapest and relatively quick to start up. When things get desperate then the gas turbine plants kick in (most expensive).

Another big issue that will come up with power is that you can only do so much wind and solar because when they shut off and before the natural gas or hydro turn on it makes what?s called a duck curve which causes huge problems on the grid when a huge source like solar or wind turn off and the time it takes to turn on other sources which a huge problem in California.

I worked in the eastgate building everyday 8am-5pm for a year. I would say in hot weather temperatures inside the building (around 25?) were pleasant compared to those outside (around 30?). Hot weather is 9 months in Zimbabwe. However, during 3 months of winter the lower temperatures inside the building were uncomfortable for many. It was better to be outside

I had the pleasure of meeting the architect once. A very humble and down-to-earth person. If you liked this building, you might also want to check out the CH2 he designed in Melbourne. Sensible passive design principles augmented by modern technology can yield some amazing results in terms of aesthetics and energy efficiency.

The idea is quite similar to those in the middle east with tall chimneys that also release hot air and lower opening underground that draws cool air in. This is genius. I am wondering if that same principle could be used in humid climate regions.

Actually a termite mound uses Bernoulli's principle for ventilation. The pressure difference between outside and the inside creates forced ventilation even with the slightest of the breeze on the outside. The chimneys on top probably mimic this to an extent, but since the floors and spaces are stacked mechanical cooling is probably required. Not much biomimicing from the mound though.

I think this design concept is not new by any means but I think it is cool. Imagine whole neighborhoods inside a building that has indoor "outdoor" space. With the skylights in the right spot, you could make it feel like you were outside on a warm day. Then each individual living unit and business could choose to condition their air. It would be cheaper to condition those units when you are starting from 82 deg. rather than 100+.

This is innovative for large buildings. But similar methods have been used with family homes in the Sahara for centuries. During the day when it's swelteringly hot outside, it's cool inside. At night, when temperatures drop to near zero C, it is warm and cosy inside. Key are the building materials. They absorb and release heat with a delay of about 12 hours.

82?F ( 27,7? C ) is quite comfortable to most people in tropical countries, it can make you sweet some time. For me and my family, we usually set at 27? C at night to avoid cold fever. In the office , ppl may set it to 20-24?C then many will complain while other bring thin jacket to backup

This guy is a genius! Thanks to his ingenuity and of course the termites (nature) a lot of new building should try to replicate such designs. Why waste power when we don't really have to use it. I could see this would be a lot useful in countries especially close to the equatorial regions. Correct me if I'm wrong though. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.

The termites use the humidity of underground to cool plates of mud there like if it was a water air conditioner, so there is always cool air to replace the hot air. They don't use the night temperature so their mounds are still superior to that building system.

The termite mound is dug into the ground so it's cooled geothermally. The building doesn't do that. The temperature and maybe air pressure differential between the top and the bottom may promote air circulation that moves the cool air up through the structure.

In Harare, Zimbabwe, where this building is in, temperatures can get up to 30 deg C (which accuweather says feels 33) in the mornings on the hottest month of November and as low as 2 deg C at night during their coldest month of June. So 27.7 morning indoor temp and 13.8 nighttime indoor temp, without the cost and greenhouse gasses of air conditioning, is pretty okay.

Despite being in the tropics, Zimbabwe has a temperate climate and summers in harare can go as high as 32 degree celcius. The Eastgate mall has a constant and nice temperature. It's not hot or cold in there... And the building is amazing. But the security won't allow you to take pics in there unfortunately, I don't know why. I think you need special permission

nowhere in this video was a termite mound feature that was 'mimic'ed actually described. The only thing this mall and the termite mound seem to have in common is that they both have some form of ventilation. The termite ventilation however is passive, while the mall has electric fans and ducting.

82 degrees farenheit during the day is equivalent to 27.8 deg celisus, which is not comfortable. And even though following the adaptive comfort approach we could consider that temperature almost comfortable (doubtful), the average max temperature in summer days in Harare is around 29deg Celsius. I would have expected results a bit better if mechanical ventilation is used together with thermal mass. I know a lot of internal heat (IT, people, etc) has to be dissipated, but this system seems not better than normal natural cross ventilation, which is cheaper and more efficient. I think that 82 deg farenheit data has to be wrong or is an extreme weather condition in summer (not the average). The data should be 'interior temperature is x deg lower than exterior temperature'

I think that 82f should be reduced to around 70f to be more comfortable, I mean room temp should at least be 23c ryt? Not to mention it's a building so the more people inside is, the warmer it gets.

Why arent more buildings like this? Less energy to cooldown, extended overhangs break up the wind tunneling effect that happens between buildings in cities, provides more areas for birds and plants to go, it sounds like a no brainer.

Only 35% increase in efficiency with every inch of the building specifically built around that function doesn?t seem that impressive.

Ironically, the law which is supposed to break up monopolies, in practice, actually creates them. Companies lobby the government to selectively use the law against their competitors, to make THEMSELVES the monopoly. So, it's a stupid law, and they should get rid of it. It only contributes to crony-capitalism. We should let natural monopolies stand, after all, wanting to achieve a monopoly is what motivates entrepreneurs to innovate/invest in the first place.

A monopoly is almost total control over one good. It hurts small businesses, employees, and innovation. The Sherman Anti-Trust Act bans Trusts (or monopolies) in the USA. It is almost nearly impossible to create a monopoly today. The worst monopolies were actually over steel (when it wasn't cheap and imported from China) and oil (in the case of John D. Rockefeller and the standard oil company).

A global recessions , defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income , is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies .

From my experience, the best use of money is investing it into assets, no matter the amount you wish to save, it?s better off being invested in assets. Today, if you keep $10k in a typical savings account, you?ll only make about one dollar. Compare that to investing in assets, Personally I invest in stocks, real estate investments, cryptos and cumulatively my income per month from those investments sums up to about $50k monthly.

I agree. It is best to have physical gold and silver. Paper money can be devalued. When my mother had to leave her mother country quietly due to war she was able to leave with all her gold jewellery. Sometimes one is not always able to pull your money out of the bank

Gold and silver prices have been suppressed for a couple of decades now. I recall seeing articles in the 2000s saying gold would hit $3k by 2010. While it did rise, gold came nowhere near $3k. Also, you would have find something trade or give you most of the value of that precious metal.

Precious metal is also not safe. Although their price could rise in the future but not necessarily same as interest rate in banks

What many don't understand is, that paper money is just a number. The value of gold stays always the same. The reason why an unz of gold is 2000$US is that the dollar lost it's value and not the gold.

Gold is at record highs at the moment, and it is never a good idea for an investor to buy at the top. If one looks at gold charts, one will see that it can take decades for gold to increase significantly. In my opinion, gold investing is for the long term, and best done by generational families, institutions, and firms.

Yet the ?valueless? cash is still the standard for measuring the value of the valuables. In other words, cash has no value, yet, by the volume of cash attracted, value is apportioned to everything else.

Folks....think about this. The rich or the upper class are in that economic/financial positions to maintain and increase value of their holding / wealth were achieved not by accumulating and hoarding precious metals.

Litecoin and bitcoin go hand in hand, like digital silver and gold. Litecoin (LTC) is a digital commodity which cannot be seized, frozen, or confiscated; LTC is a decentralized digital crypto payment medium without intermediaries such as banks. Its purpose is not to overtake or compete against but rather to complement Bitcoin (BTC), like silver complements gold. From its inception in 2011, Litecoin was designed to be the "digital silver" to Bitcoin the "digital gold".

Precious metals earn no interest and cost money to safely store. They're fine for a portion of an investor's assets as diversification but they MASSIVELY under-perform US stocks over a multi-decade time frame, earning roughly inflation, vs. an inflation adjusted (real) return of over 6 percent over the long run (like since about 1928, when good records were first available for the long term).

There's lots of speculation and guess work in this article. The way things are going none of these suggested options will be worth what is claimed. I've invested in my survival I'll be secure and fed. Come to me for food and protection with gold or any such chattel I'll laugh at you. Real wealthy people have invested in their survival and is kept secret from the sheeple.

I personally believe and agree for almost of this books content. But poor is a complex situation, especially the structurally poorness. Even if you have this kind of mentality, some people really didnt even get the priviledge to try in the first place.

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
