I can't find your sources documents so I can learn# go kurzgesagt :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Henry Walke Yes we could, until the first rocket explodes above your state and burning highly toxic and highly radioactive material falls on your home. Good luck with that.

I think im too late

Can you please make a Video about ringworld

I am 376th person to comment

I have a question for the narrator. Did you ever Improvised? Did you Improvisation made the cut?

nuclear waste video!!

A nuclear power argument video would be greatly appreciated.

4:24 wtf why is Dr Doofenshmirtz's tower there

perfectly Researched on the NUCLEAR incident,NICE patriot TEAM🎀🎀🎀

why the subtitles in RUSSIAN ...

A N T V I D E O P L S

Serkan Oğuz on Spotify

Deaths per Energy Unit damn never would have thought of that you guys killed it

Germany, wrong way, booo!

I’m telling you guys, please make a podcast like this. I would listen to it during my commute and I’m sure others would too

Next please make vid about mars and perseverance landing!

The video doesn't take into account deaths related to mining the uranium, coal, and rare earth metals.

Could you do one about the cardiovascular system

Awesome video kurz

العربيه ؟!

thanks for the subtitle in portuguese. Obrigado pelas legendas!

it's time we develop super efficient solar panels..... unarguably *the Best source of energy*

We must also look at long term effects of any energy source.... hence i believe solar energy is the best.... requires minimal maintanence cost once installed, cheaper and eco friendly.... and absolutely no deaths for installing a solar panel at your home... this must be looked into and we must not overlook a completely ( cost, pollution, death)-free source of energy come on, it's time we do this... i don't know why on earth solar energy is so dang neglected

12021

Imagine believing in climate change lol sjw losers

Please make a whole video about nuclear waste

kurzgesagt is german that means littel saying thats weird

Can you make a video on blight

Got a video idea: what would it cost to make a nuclear rifle that can shoot all nuclear waste (which is stored in the bullet) to maybe Jupiter. Like to make him see

Next please make vid about mars and perseverance landing!

Germany, wrong way, booo!

I saw the Doofenschmirtz reffernce.

Funny how we still make sacrifices to the gods of light for energy use but pretend we're better than societies from the distant past

Been a while, Kurzgesagt. You must be planning something BIG. :-)

A video about the storaging problem, please!

Why not send our nuclear waste into space, as in not into orbit, but out of our solar system. I understand that that takes a huge amount of energy to do, but wouldn’t it be worth it to get rid of the waste completely?

Because of the unreliability of rockets, only one has to fail and you basically detonate a dirty bomb in the atmosphere

Whoa

resuming the video: humans are dumb

people r so dumb

Is there a way to recycle nuclear waste into a usable material?

yes! You can either chemically extract the dangerous parts of the waste which leaves you with just uranium that can be re-used (MOX fuel) Or you can use new fast neutron reactor types like the thorium reactors that are being built in China right now. If you let spent fuel rods sit in those for a while, when they come out they're only dangerous for approx 300 more years. Much more reasonable

I will have to ask, what about the hundreds of thousands of jobs that the coal industry brings. My friends family has a lot of coal miners and plant workers and I would hate to see them in poverty.

It's harsh but they'll have to transfer to new jobs over time. New types of energy bring new jobs as well Of course it's up to the government to help those people re-educate themselves or to make sure they can transition to new jobs. But that's a social issue

alright KURWAGATESHARET

How to avoid producing radioactive waste that is buried underground and may cause problem in the future? Let’s burn more coal and release toxic gas right now!

You can recycle nuclear waste

To be honest, If all the presidents watched these videos from the past and also from 12019 videos this can advance humanity thousands of years to the future thx for the videos we might be in the future already :>

Can you make a video on the virophage please because I don't get how they work and your videos always make things easier to understand.

Do a vid about using valcanos for energy or space x

Pointless because most equipment will melt or be fried, and Geothermal energy exists.

+1 on video for nuclear waste, landfills and their implications over time... Thank you!!!

Podia fazer uma sessão de videos explicando acidentes nucleares mais detalhadamente e incluir acidentes civis como o que teve em goias no Brasil

Please do arabic transaction

Fun fact : kurzgesagt means ' said shortly ' in German, correct me if I'm wrong 😉

"In a nutshell" hehe Basically the same thing.

Who else would like a video about the lituya ba tsunami

Over 5

8:05 *frustration noise*

Kurzgesagt should make a game, the equal share of humor and education would go well into a game, not to mention the animation style.

People arguing about the death tolls of nuclear energy rely a lot on the "but sometimes" argument. We have something that's superior in many ways, but sometimes bad things happen. This ignores the same issue that happens with current technologies just to stay where things feel familiar.

Why is pollution, nuclear energy, the depletion of non-renewable resources a delicious cake for the country?

I miss new kurzgesagt videos

Kurz, I won't let that Wilhelm scream at 6:15 remain unnoticed... Nice touch!

Couldn't you just yeet nuclear waste in to the sun with a skyhook?

Monke brain: No explosion but gradual death

New videi of kurzgesagt coming out in under a week! It's about gold!

I heard that Bill Gates and his friends were able to successfully develop a new nuclear plant design that could use the nuclear waste as energy and create a much safer method of using meaning it will be theoretically the safest and most efficient in modern history and theoretically meaning it’s the best resource we have and the safest.

If you ever feel useless, remember that there is a dislike button for this button

A more detailed video about nuclear energy would be great

DO A VIDEO ABOUT FORCE!!

How is it, that I always feel better after these videos, regardless of content? Thank you, kurzgesagt team :)

hmmm I wonder how many people can live on earth before earth cant provide any more resources

This animation is god tier man

How you make these videos?

Would love to see a video on nuclear waste!

Thanks for the video, great work! I would like to see a video concerning the nuclear waste discussion :)

When will you restock the pluschies?

Looks like irresponsible people who believes others are responsible for their lives and hold others accountable for plights they face. Each man for himself God for us all they should understand that their lives and needs are not anyones responsibility.

What happened to helping the poor?

Fantastic video!

Can you please do a Video on spacex‘s new starship? I just watched sn10 land live.

Couldn't you just yeet nuclear waste in to the sun with a skyhook?

Your you could just recycle it into more fuel, which is possible

@viktor1496 could we not then yeet it in to the core of the earth? Or would that be impossible cause it would get to hot to dig and like... Physics

We don't have any tech reliable enough to throw nuclear waste in space. Only one launch has to go wrong and you have a disaster on your hands. That said, there are multiple places on earth where it is completely safe to stock it underground.

Just use solar panels...

Ignorant answer, An energy grid can not run on 100% wind/solar. With current battery tech we can achieve 40-50% at most (still considerably higher than what we have now) The rest needs to be filled up with regulatable sources: Hydro, Fossil fuels or nuclear. Air pollution by fossil fuels kills millions every year. Hydro is at least as dangerous as nuclear and is reaching its limit, there are only so many rivers to be dammed. So do you want air pollution and global warming or nuclear and temporarily deal with the nuclear waste problem?

death toll caused by chernobyl way way much higher. due to radiation spilled around black sea coast, all the vegetation had been poisened. governments denied its level of effects. people consume the crops and animals, cancer became an epidemic in the area for tens of years.

@ozan baş With current battery tech, we can only at maximum use around 40% solar/wind. Please tell me which energy source you would suggest for the remaining 60%?

@viktor1496 in my point it is not acceptible. there is far more harmless and riskfree options out there

@ozan baş And that's the point, air pollution by fossil fuels kills millions every year. Hydrodams destroy their environment and ecosystem and have killed many in cases of failure. Compared to that, a nuclear disaster every few decades if far preferable. Especially if it remains as limited as it did in Fukushima.

@ozan baş Those numbers include all predicted cancers and premature deaths caused by radiation leaks. In Fukushima, practically no one got a dangerous dose of radiation contrary to Chernobyl. After 10 years, there are no noticeable increases in risks for cancers...etc for those who lived around the reactor. It's you who is looking for death and destruction where there is none.

@viktor1496 you only see numbers of direct kills. that is selfish and unethical. you have to consider all effects. like how fossil burning contaminate air and cause death of millions, spread of leaked nuclear radiation, poisining the earth, water, oceans by ditching the nuclear waste can not be ignored. they have long lasting effects. you may like "mutants" in hollywood, it doesn't work like that irl.

there is a thing called "Carbon capture and storage", doesnt that make fossil fuel burning better than nuclear?

@viktor1496 man you're the real mvp in this comment section

CCS is expensive and under developed. It might be a solution in the future, but not in the coming decades.

prehaps

your videos are so inspiring, I may sound like a cringy 400,000 yr old but we should show this content to world leaders.

The talented planet scully detect because atom retrospectively coach until a lyrical title. harsh, typical palm

or you could just use thorium

i wuld like a video about nuclear waist i tought it was reusable

I think the problem is that people can use the big explosions and disasters from Chernobyl and Fukushima to demonize nuclear energy, and don't realize that while not as dramatic, air pollutions kills many, many more.

@Kharkov Luzhin My argument for nuclear? Clean air, far less CO2, stable power source ideal for the base load, future potential with new generations of reactors, safety (really, 2 accidents in 30 years are the problem?) and much less waste compared to every other power source.

@deadbeef nope, my argument is about 1000 people die a year is less compared to than fossils energy in the same circumstances, more over, we had found somewhat of a way to recycle the nuclear waste just not efficient, while we have no idea how to stop fossils fuels from polluting the air and absolutely no way to fix what happens to the atmosphere. What is your argument?

You can say... 2 acciddents in 30 years? That is the argument of yours?

i lóvé your You made a video of the black hold deads?

when will you restock the plushies!

miss you guys

It would be super weird if students in 30 years get shown kurzgesagt videos like this and felt like us when teachers showed us old VHS documentaries.

when discussing nuclear energy kill china : coming out from nowhere and get blamed for its dam me : wait, is that how media work here, great

Every Kurzgesagt video is top-notch high quality informative content

Could please you do a kugelblitz video

Only 500 deaths...

4:30 I think I saw doofishmirtz tower

I have learned so many things from this channel than my mother

Note to self: 1:53

Suggestion:what would happen if a solar system hits another

Monke hold tweezers holding radioactive material

Bruh these guys could talk about the dissapearance of my tv remote and I would still be fascinated

Why don't you make a new episode soon

Hi Kurzgesagt, i have an video idea for you :What if a huge comet hit the sun.

What a great explanation. I'd love that video on waste.

I'm still disappointed about this video. You should have included theoretical models (numbers). 2 accidents are not very meaningful. You ignored the fact that the cloud was moving east and not west to tokio. Obviously, very lucky. Also there is a difference between a 60-70 year old who dies early bc of air pollution and a baby, who has died bc of fukushima. Sadly multiple pregnant women got radiated. The video simplifies the discussion and undermines your earlier good video series on nuclear energy. Proof is all the postive commentarys here. They all have forgotten or never have seen the other videos.

@Mr surname Despite your big words, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Resorting to ad hominem attacks won't change the fact that you haven't been able to elaborate ANY of your points. Never use one source? They used many, you clearly haven't looked at the reference list linked in the video. Never use one statistic? They didn't. You're talking out of your ass instead of explaining yourself. Good day

@viktor1496 I was trying to explain you why kurzgesagt can't say "nuclear energy is more safe than its seems like" and more based on this numbers. And I don't know why you don't get it. It's basic scientific work. It's the first you learn at university. Never ever use just one source. And even more, not just a statistic. And that is what happend here. And that is my critic on this video. You can compare the numbers. But they did more than that. You started your own debate here, I can't help you with that. And sorry, "I was writing a essay about it" oh man. You don't talk like a scientist bc you aren't one. I got it know. Sadly a bit late. Explains your lack of understanding of scientific work. Your level of science is what kurzgesagt does. So, stick here. It's made for people like you

@Mr surname You have never once mentioned anything except "you can't use statistics alone" and "they need the theoretical risks"..... yet you fail over and over again to elaborate on the matter except for one flawed analogy. I think it's indeed best to end this if you can't build on your argument. I asked for examples and got nothing

@Mr surname 1)Estimates are unavoidable, it's impossible to include the exact number of deaths from f.e. cancers that appear years after an accident. The best you can do is give the lowest and highest estimates, which they did. 2)Of course they ignored theoretical risks, since calculating such a theoretical model is highly subjective in itself. Once you go down that road, you also have to guess the chances of dams breaking and include that in hydro...etc. 3)They gave the total numbers and the deaths per energy unit produced. The video is called "how many people did nuclear power kill".... how does that not answer that question, what other stats would you even WANT? 4)Your figure of 15 includes partial meltdowns and meltdowns on the same sites but with different reactors, and most of them caused no serious problems at all except of course for Three mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima. Your statistics aren't wrong, however you deliberately misrepresent it.

@viktor1496 I wrote to kurzgesagt, not to you in the first place. I haven't written this to prove nuclear tec is right or wrong. you started a debate over it. They compared total numbers with estimated numbers. Mistake number one. They ignored theoretical risks. Mistake number two. They used only one statistic to prove their point. Worst mistake above all. I can do this too. We had approx 15 meltdowns since 1952. So we have a meltdown every 4,6 years? No we don't have, because you have to include theoretical numbers. Modern plants are way safer. Don't ever base your option on statistics! It's always simplified and ignores facts. I won't repeat myself what they did ignore. OK, let's end this. It's too time consuming

Vietnamse ????

I need the whole video

I need a calendar, it's the year 12,021and my calendar is wrong. Help me please kurzgesagt. I can't find it anywhere and it makes me sad.
