What if We Replaced Nuclear With Potatoes

The video explains how energy is used in everyday life, often derived from fuels. It introduces a unique way to measure energy consumption using potatoes as a unit. The video compares the efficiency of internal combustion and electric cars, highlighting the energy loss in each. It also discusses the vast energy consumption by companies and industries, and the sources of energy, including fossil fuels, renewables, and nuclear power. The inefficiencies in energy extraction and the potential of nuclear power are also covered.
