Let's do this.

Nope.

1. The tree is 4% efficient at best, compared to 25% for cheap solar.
2a. Yes you can. See chemistry.
2b. Aluminium is made with electricity.
2c. Arc furnaces exist.
3. Irrelevant imported argument
4. More than one problem can exist at the same time.

D-
see me after class.

@TechConnectify This was fantastic!!!

@TechConnectify really well done!

@TechConnectify Tech nerd UNLEASHES on politics. Hell yes.

@TechConnectify This is a masterpiece! I love you!

@TechConnectify Thank you so much for making this video. The world needs it so much right now.

@TechConnectify
Man, I thought the first part of this video was good, but wait until you watch the second part (the very long outro).

@ShadSterling @TechConnectify

It's really nice to see some YouTubers who aren't idiots at this point in time.

@TechConnectify I was wondering why this was half an hour longer than usual and god did I get my answer.

@lolitechengineer @TechConnectify Good amount of hot sauce IMO.

Alec @TechConnectify for president

@TechConnectify Shoutout to Biden's Infrastructure Bill, which (among many other things) provided grants and incentives to ISPs to build out broadband access in underserved areas. We live in a semi-rural spot in Arkansas (not farms, but populaton-sparse with big lots) and our options like yours were 12mbps DSL, flaky fixed wi-fi, or cell towers a long ways off. Last year a super-local company came and buried fiber lines _everywhere_ and we pay less now for excellent, reliable Internet - and they claimed some of that grant money as a reward. Would never have happened otherwise.

I think often about how the government mandated telco lines to everyone in the past - "it won't pay back" was simply not an option. We have the ability to do these things right now - it's not hard! it's not complicated! - but what's missing is the people in power to just DO IT.

Naturally, the rural broadband incentive was deliberately ended in 2025.

"Today. A Bass Chipmunk convinced me to use less single-use fuel..."

@TechConnectify Alec, thank you for this. Very strong and clear points. Came for the solar, stayed for the politics (I know, directly connected). It's the pinacle of 8 years watching Technology Connections videos. Trully well done

@TechConnectify

"You can just point this at the sun and electricity comes out of the wires for the low low cost of free."

@TechConnectify I can't comment on YouTube so I will put it here:
Yes boss man. But how will America control the world without oil? Priorities much? And you are saying that capitalism isn't the solution to human existence?! Blasphemy!
Great video by the way, I think the same.
Also, is a bit funny that you think you can vote your way our of this, both sides are just as bad, my friend, if you only knew how bad things really are in politics.

@TechConnectify

I love (I mean, really love) every single TC video. They are all great, all good, all fantastic.

This one is the very BEST of all of your videos.

Every. Single. Word.

Simply.

Thank you.

@TechConnectify As an European, thank you so much for the second part of your video!

@adlerweb @TechConnectify 3x speed works for the first 2/3.

@TechConnectify
look, I'm just a limey watching in horror at what's going on over there.
I wish was I there to give you all a hug. you'll get through this and when the time comes I hope there's repercussions for those involved.
I'm sorry that you're going through it though.
