Solar energy would then account for a quarter of the countrys power output. The number of orders for new solar park is growing fast. Whats behind the boom . In the last decade, solar modules have decreased in price to around a 10th of what they were originally. We can now produce electricity in germany for 4. 00 to 0. 06 per kilowatt hour. You cant do that in a coal fired plant or Nuclear Power station, even after the initial investment has been paid off. Germanys big solar park project 10 years ago, the operating company was one of the biggest Nuclear Power, pretty 30 in the country. They still burn coal fired plants, but that will soon be a thing of the power these new Energy Sources will have to fill the gap. Theyve become a central pillar in our portfolio. Since 2012, weve seen growth in new and renewable segments, including wind, both offshore and onshore, as well as solar. These technologies will account for about half of our output by 2025. I need this solar power made in china. Just keep on coming day on day, as its hope to the park will be in operation by the end year like washing machines and dishwashers. Smartphones also seem to give up the ghost right after the warranty runs out a hole in your pocket. But is it a coincidence, or does it have more to do with clever Sales Strategy known as planned obsolescence . Decided to find out you probably know that heart stopping moment when your phone breaks your photos messages, contacts. When was the last time i saved a backup . Basically our whole life is on these things, which makes it so annoying when they break, but it happens all the time. Whats interesting about the smartphone is pretty much everything. It breaks literally look beyond the surface of these things built to break. So we keep buying new ones and were going to find out what happened to all these broken phones. Well, they create massive environmental problems. But lets start at the beginning. This is my old phone. It died a couple of years ago because the battery couldnt hold a charge anymore. Today, despite all the comes in this body and fix it. This is a repair kit i ordered online for 25. 00 euros. Thats the battery that trying to get. It comes with all the tools you need. Tweezers, tiny little screwdriver, a manual. Well, well see about that. For now, lets take a look at just how crazy we are about smartphones. We buy around 1500000000 of them every year. When you factor as really must be cheering, a lot of people actually believe theyre inflating this thing called planned obsolescence. It was invented to stimulate the economy during the Great Depression in the us. The basic idea is that the quicker a product breaks the sooner people will replace it with a new one. And some Companies Really did start to shorten the lifespan of the products. The filaments and light bulbs, for example, would make thinner so that they were going out of the just 1000 hours, instead of and nylon stockings were designed on purpose to tear more easily even though its actually pretty strong material. Things that one time and throw away. Thats a problem for manufacturers because your economic model repeats and repeats and repeats. So its the same true for smart phones. Are they designed to break the air with planned obsolescence is that there is intent, there is a smoke filled room with evil people. Theres a more, ha, ha, were going to make these things dying 18 months. Im not sure it works that way. Well, instead, the way that this works is that the marketing people are saying to the crowd. Designers dont put any effort into making this thing last longer than the lifespan the original bad. Lets take a look at apple. They were sued because people noticed their phones got a lot slower after the installed a software update. And guess whats and 2017, apple admitted this was true and later agreed to pay a settlement. But they said they throttled the phones to extend their lifespan to get people to replace them. Is this really true . Maybe the thing is Companies Might be doing this, but its extremely hard to actually prove it. Well, i want to talk to them about this. I reached out to the 3 Biggest Smartphone producers, a lot of them replied. But even if we cant be sure about planned obsolescence, theyve got other ways to sell more phones. Biggest advance in the history of the dance. The most advanced i phone weve ever created. Every release of a new phone model is basically saying, the one you bought last year is now olds. Get a new one. You maintain your position in Consumer Society by what you own and what were, how you present yourself. If you dont have to pay for the right, this is psychological obsolescence. Convincing people they need a new phone, even though they have one that works perfectly fine. Even if you dont care about the latest fashion and would love to keep your old phone forever, let me tell you, they are quite hard to repair. This is the step that often open the case. Theres a cable thats in there, the one kind of hold it with your hands. You dont pop it completely open. Youre just crack it open a little bit. Ok. Ok i think i imagine if you bought a car and the tires that came with it could not be replaced. So when the tires were out, you had to get rid of the car and get a new car. We would not put up with this. This would be crazy, and yet thats the situation that we have a smart phones. Turns out the cables that are broken, its not that important, but this is really hard. There are tiny screws that you need special screwdrivers for. And the biggest challenge, i think this is removing the old battery, which is glued into the case, making things hard or impossible to repair. Thats another strategy to get people to replace them more often. That its coming off. All thats left to do now is piece the whole thing back together. By the way, youre going to void your warranty. The moment you open up your phone so before you attempt to repair anything, be absolutely sure you know what youre doing. Not like me. Its not really closing up here, which makes me think i reassembled something wrong or break it. Now. This is going in well up to this point and went pretty well, but i just cant get this thing to shut. How hard do they want to make it . I think and defeat it. Yeah, that thing is not powering on anymore. I tried for hours and couldnt replace something as simple as a battery. Most likely what is happening is that you have a loose cable. Thats my remote. It is tech support. I think you can still get this thing running if you, if not, i dont feel bad about heathen, you repair shop, s. In the furniture or you could just throw it out. I mean, thats what a lot of us do and not just with our phones. So thats globally speaking, were generating millions only less than 20 percent of this is properly recycled. The rest poses a real danger to the environment. Spam to people who process it or it never leaves the homes of all the curious being in all the trolls and all was valuable resources, very limited resources. This world, all this material is really not available for the bigger towns. And the senator is proving for years of point consumers, consumers a point i think at the end of the day, everyone thanks for taking responsibility. Larry, in a completely unsustainable electronics industry. And its all of our faults. If we could do that, we can that we should and we must do better, couldnt agree more. All those useless cables packed away in boxes a time over devices that become obsolete. Its easy just to dump them. But what about recycling them at like store refusing to buy them in the 1st place . Thats a little hot. But it would save you a lot of money than always having to keep up with the latest trends.
