Just focusing on a singular statement in the super typical low substance, high stock footage, fast cuts video: "In the last ten years energy consumption increased exponentially world wide." It sure doesn't look exponential: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/primary-energy-consumption-by-region?stackMode=relative&time=2009..latest https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/primary-energy-consumptio... And if you break it down by energy use per person a really interesting trend emerges: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-energy-use?tab=chart&time=1980..latest&country=IND~TWN~SWE~USA~GBR~FRA~DEU&region=World https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-energy-use?tab... For much of the western world energy use per person has flat-lined or started decreasing. This appears to be a fairly robust effect, you can see that Taiwan had very consistent growth until ~2007 at which point their trend closely matches USA/France/Germany. The tremendous growth in energy consumption is mostly developing nations, mostly Asia, starting to live closer to how developed nations live.
