1.1MV DC transmission lines?!?! That deserves a 45 minute video all on it's own.

I find it kind of funny because about 10 years ago (or even longer, can't remember), I found out that China was building a new coal plant every week or something such, and my intuitive response was "Oh, so they got infinite coal or what? Won't that be a tough and costly transition when they finally run out?" and I guess this answers that

“China, like the US, is hot”
Me in Beijing and freezing to death: Am I a joke to you?

You should totally do a whole video on the economics and ethics of services like Hello Fresh and whether they really live up to the ad reads in terms of claimed benefits

I spent a week in August in Florida where my grandmothers took me out to eat every night. You will not find a building without AC. In those months, you need to wear a t-shirt and carry a sweatshirt because you'll be inside your car with the AC blasting, then in 100 degree weather for 2 seconds before entering a restaurant where the AC makes it freezing. lol

If you think China has electricity problems. You'd be shocked to see the electricity crisis South Africa is facing, going as far as declaring it a national state of disaster

Great video, you should look at the electricity problem in South Africa. Currently the power goes out for 4 hours a day which has happened consistently for over a decade now with almost no exceptions. The electricity market in South Africa is a complete monopoly with only one government owned business providing electricity to the entire country. The company is called eskom and has proved to be extremely useless. Due to this constant power outages in South Africa, it’s caused their economy to suffer drastically with one article I read even saying it causes South Africa to be 50% less attractive to foreign investors and companies due to the lack of electricity.

Here in India not turning the AC on during summers just isn't an option. Soon the temperatures of north Indian cities are going to literally be unlivable, and ironically ACs are a big part of that :(

6:26 It's inaccurate to say that Beijing doesn't regulate domestic coal prices. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) regularly summons leaders of coal mining companies and electricity corporations to "negotiate" a fair coal price. The price is not fixed but doesn't fluctuate as much as the international market.

It's hard for modern Americans to imagine there was a time when an air conditioner in an automobile was an option...an option most people passed on (the technology has advanced considerably, so it's complicated, but still).

Amazing how China and US match so well in latitude and size. Definitely the beasts of the east and west.

We're building a new house for our family - here in Brazil we use masonry. The walls that will receive direct sunlight will be made of solid ceramic bricks while the others will use the hollow ones. Thick walls make for more expensive foundations and costs more but in the long run makes for a more comfortable and more energy efficient house. That's way, btw, the Empire State Building is the more energy efficient building in NY - the walls are made of stone.

It's crazy how people talk about temperature, but they don't talk about humidity. I wore a long-sleeve shirt and jeans in Nevada in 90°F (32°C) weather and I was fine. If I wore that in Florida or Georgia, in 60% humidity, I wouldn't be having a great time.

we can't ignore that China has the biggest population in the world, which is literally more than other the continent's risdents in Europe North America Australia combined

"For hours, Chinese cities went dark"
That's like.... daily thing in the country I live..

One of them - the first - is in Brazil and connects Itaipu to São Paulo state. The DC power lines are also useful to insulate the grid's parts so a disturbance on one part won't propagate to other parts. Brazil's DC line has other reasons: Itaipu was built on the border of Brazil and Paraguay and, at the time, there was a decision to set up half of the generators in 60Hz and half in 50Hz. Brazil buys the 50Hz produced for Paraguay - retifies it at Itaipu and alternates it near São Paulo city.
For those who don't know, Itaipu was, until the Three Gorge Hydro Power Plant was built, the largest in the world.

I thought I read somewhere that China had plans to drastically expand it's nuclear energy capabilities; I'm surprised there wasn't much discussion about that.

I grew up in Shanghai and when I was a kid I did have frequent power cuts, especially in the summer, and had to light candles to do my homework. Now it's completely different, China has 30% of the world's power generation capacity, but some media are still stuck in the same place as 20 years ago!😮😮

China's coal may be plentiful but is of low quality which is ok for power production (albeit not as efficient as good quality coal). The coal Australia exported was of high quality metallurgical coal used for coking for blast furnaces used for steelmaking (the ore Australia also provides but not sanctioned) therefore essential for their economy, when China put sanctions on many Australian products there was always another country willing to purchase our goods especially coal
