What Progress Have We Made on Energy Storage and Climate Change? is a short documentary by Michelle Nguyen for Planet Classroom’s problem solvers series that seeks to answer the exact question it poses by providing information on the journey towards Net Zero.
It lays out the various forms of renewable energy and the struggles we face in implementing them; one of which is the need for battery storage during times that wind and solar energy cannot be collected.
While the documentary does a great job providing information on renewable energy in a succinct three minute video, it fails to really answer the question that it poses. There is no real discussion on progress made so far, how we can overcome challenges, and a projection for future adoption.
It is obvious that these alternate sources of energy each have their own pitfalls, but the documentary fails to take the next step by showing ways they can be overcome.
I am pleased to rate this short documentary with two stars.
