Power from the deep could all oceans satiate our future energy needs and droughts in kenya, when it comes to fighting Climate Change and creativity no rain for months, kenya is suffering from historic levels of drought. The soils are too dry to cultivate grain or vegetables. Capital lie dead in the arid step plans. 2000000 people are at risk of starvation and kenya says germinate, organization, very tongue. I heifer to blame Global Warming the over exploitation of Natural Resources and widespread deforestation. Aid is urgently needed. But so our ideas, ideas for how to make it possible to survive in kenyas dry regions in the future. Our reporter, tobii imagine tyler went to kenya to find out more the music and festive atmosphere soon attract the crowd. This safe pony Theatre Group is performing to day in vermani in southern kenya. The play is about every day hardship, environmental issues, and Climate Change. Its called me on go, that means decades in swahili rather go home to go home to do it sweeps through the last 40 years, starting in 1981 when nature here was still intact. But years of deforestation have followed to feed the charcoal industry. What will things look like in the future . My group manager, david kalu, me, takes the audience on a journey. Where did we go wrong . He asks, what can we do differently to ensure the next 10 years will be better . The story ends in the year 2031. It just build people on the home that mirror for them to see that this is exactly what im doing. So what can i do . So yet when its its, its just a reflection of your life. So from the reflection you can understand noise like a mirror if you hover something a dead on your face, then its time for you know, to try to clear that. So this is exactly what were doing. Save bonnie is the activists know people here are faced with existential problems. Only 3 months ago, 40 year old shock, how much a lee were settled in this village. A 2 hour drive from mombasa with his 50 cattle, but now his herd is dying of starvation. He used to live in a village some 35 kilometers away until drought forced him to leave. But the situation is no better here. Her grandma, my grandma, i have to buy the calves milk because their mothers have no milk to suckle them one sec while youre in. Yeah, they dont even have the strength to stand up. They dont have the energy to graze on the field. Sparse green chuck, im on to lee were has to help them on today. His assisted by some of david kalu miss act is currently touring the area. I am singing soon. Were here because were working on a program on enrollment. Mostly what were doing is looking into Community Resilience towards Climate Change, as we can see, the tao, the way that part of the change. You can see that the claim it is not as it was some years book for one, the dry season is getting longer. Sometimes it doesnt rain for months on end. Now the Theater Group has invited locals to a workshop to talk about their troubles, be done. The team hopes participants can pass on what they learn here to other villages working. Yes, i mean one of them is 68 year old killer work. He told me. Oh gordon, i shamble lamitas every one planted training so got itll be good for the environment or not. She doubt all your Living Conditions will be better suited to collect it will keep on. Burke will keep people healthy or not yourself. And according to the retired Civil Servant has planted a range of trees from pasadena to blue gum and named trees. They provide shade and protect the ground from drawing out. He also keeps bees. He has 18 hives, and earns the equivalent of 1600. 00 a year that allows him to pay for his daughters schooling. And soon he hopes for her University Education to one of his 2 wives and the mother of his 3 sons. Kabibi kalauia had no such luck in if the were that were like hulu were real, and i didnt attend school here because my parents werent able to pay for my education. I live live or going on with those who are one i gave. So i decided to get married and in indigo, become more boy, you a fate shared by most women around here. Poverty is wide spread. Locals fell trees to clear the land for agriculture, but that makes the ground even dryer. So harvests are poor. They end up resorting to selling charcoal, but thats made from trees. So they locked in a vicious circle in the workshops facilitated by parent n g o safe . Kenya, the safe pony team helps locals develop alternatives. So we believe that is the people who festivals started. The problem, and is the people who can solve your own problem. She to us is asked know, coming to just make them realize, this is where we went wrong. And then after there is them not to look at the solutions and haughton, with ours, is only to facilitate these discussions, facilitator them coming together . That is what we are doing much, but the solution is coming draping from the people. After 2 months of consultations and conversations, the Theater Groups latest tour is drawing to a close. Now. The safe kenya, n g o aims to boost peoples resilience amid the Climate Crisis and inspire them to find solutions. Its safe pony Theater Group is based in mombasa, and financed by the International Climate initiatives, small grants program. Theyll continue to work with locals here for the next 2 years. Wow. The audience have got the message living in them a more meg is not live with all my think given i have learned that when we manufacture charcoal, it has many a negative effects on our land. It my bad amok will work. I because i know that by the league im gonna go get her. Things will change because there will be no more cutting down of trees. And if people get tree seedlings, they will plant them and the Current Situation will improve. Oh god, he hardly dont kill our key to me is also among the audience. His Tree Planting has often been marked by his neighbors. Now hes been vindicated, though, in fact his desperate since the activists were last here, the drought has killed all of his bees. And the seedlings were his new plans have dried up, stole his, determined to keep planting new trees, and hopes more. Villagers will follow his lead. Its the only way they can secure their future. Blue water is life. It covers 71 percent of our planet surface. And is in perpetual movement. Ocean currents in particular, have huge potential as energy generators, as much as a 1000 Nuclear Power stations. Tremendous powers brought forth every day due to the moon. It acts like a magnates pulling the water of our oceans towards it, creating a wave peak or high, tight. On the other side of the earth, a similar wave peak is created by centrifugal force. Over the course of a day the earth rotates beneath these 2 high tide, peaks in between them is ab tight. These are the tides of the seas. Could tidal power be the clean climate neutral answer to our energy needs . Off the coast of scotland, you could witness this window by ins being put into the water. Theyre called tidal toby. They sit on the sea floor and harness the energy in the moving water that comes in and goes out with the tides fell. Car just cannot sitting there and waiting to be used. The potential is huge. Its estimated that we could practically capture enough title, energy to power all home from the united states, twice over my research with Climate Change shows. We need this energy now. Yes, at the moment, all the energy we get from existing title power plants worldwide can power less than 400000 homes. So how does title bow walk exactly . And why isnt it every way it would title power . Theres one word that comes up a lot, predictable, predictable, predictability. Tides are predictable. They come in, they go out and theyve been doing this the same way since the moon was bond. So at the dial stick adobe in the water as it flows in or out. And viola you can make electricity with the same, its bullet window binds you moving water mix the turbine spin. This powers the gearbox on a generator, which turns mechanical energy into electricity. Water incidentally is over 800. 00 times down. So than air, which means the time turbines need to be studio, but they can be smaller and slower and still individually produce more power than wind turbine. So far so good. Then back the titles from card predictability. Wind starts and stops blowing somewhat randomly and the sun isnt always out. So these renewables can be difficult to integrate into the grid tides as we know, i really, really predictable and consistent. So if batteries are charged, when tides are flowing, we could use those batteries each time theres no movement and repeat at regular intervals. With tides to mean waste extract, power exist, once called title stream, and the other title range. Lets talk about titled range power. That takes advantage of the difference between the high and the low tide, which can go up to 12 meters. This work by building a dam across the region where the sea water meets the land. The shape of these bays or estuaries magnifies the difference between the high and low tide. How it actually works is the gates of the down offers shut until the difference in the water level builds up to the highest point. And then the water is allowed to flow and as it does so, a turbine below collects and converts all the Delicious Energy into electricity. Many idle plant can actually work when the water flows the other way too. Which means they could work for between 18 and 22 hours every day. And this kind of title power has been around for decades. The oldest title rein generator lawrence was built in northern france in 1966. It costs around 1000000000. 00 in todays money, which is cheaper than a comparable Nuclear Power plant, but higher than the cost of installing other renewables. But its still going strong, producing enough power for a town of around 250000. 00 inhabitants. And the electricity from lawrence is actually cheaper than solar and nuclear. There are 4 other titles range plants running in south korea, russia, canada, and china. You can filter the range part not anywhere, but it wouldnt be economical to put it somewhere where theres minimal title rents, top rates and funding in canada, the northwest australian shelf, the northwest european shelf, the public guardians shelf. But theyre not all suitable to, for example, that may not be much grid connectivity or the populations may be quite low. So apart from geography, the infrastructure to support title drange plants just doesnt exist everywhere. And people have opposed the massive structures because they can be who left for the local environment, disturbing migratory fish, the composition of the soil, and even taking space away from local communities. But things are changing for title range bower. A project commission in october 2021 in wales dixie idea out of the 960. 00 s and applies it to to be when environmental damage is much less acceptable, the design doesnt block of an entire b, but only uses a part of a lagoon. So the local ecology is protected and its expected to generate even more power than the french plant. The proposal also includes space for agriculture and sports for the area can remain a shared resource. 98 percent of title energy today comes from title range projects that together have a capacity of 520. 00 megawatts, which is still a tiny, tiny fraction of consumption. But the other kind of total Power Generation could ship things up. The younger and sexier kind of the market dido stream power. Its showing more promise at the moment with its simpler devices that depend on under water currents caused by the tides. They vary in shape and design. The most common are breeze turbines, like Wind Turbines, that can be set up in clusters in wind farms under water. A couple of research and Development Zones in the north of scotland supplied record breaking levels of clean energy to the u. K. Grid this year. Powering over 12000. 00 homes for a year then theres an underwater kite that flies and a figure of 8. Like the wind lifts the kite current and the water speed it up into and producing more energy. And then that off floating stream turbines, the most powerful of which was really the launch in scotland with an individual tobin capacity of 2 megawatts dead dead though to the sea floor. But the turbines remain close to the surface, which means the undersea works cheaper and they can be moved around. Compared to wind of solar energy though. Title has been slow for the reason you might have guessed. Sadly, a lot of the solutions are really expensive because the industry, so young with very small industry its, you know, it doesnt have an established supply chain or manufacturing chain any time you were gonna operate. Something under water has its own unique sets of engineering challenges. Your standard, well for corrosion is going to be big problems. Youre going to choose your materials. Really carefully. Bio falling is a really big issue where, you know, you put something, the water is things are going to want to grow on it. And its going to make it into a little mini regal habitat, the performance of the turbine deteriorates. You need to find when we are renting, that thats a huge operational costs, which is why most title stream generation project cluster in the globals not with financial support. The depth of technology at this stage exists china and south Korea Joining in but low income countries. Like in the, i have been slow, a drop plans to try out id power. But they could benefit when the cost of deployment begin to fall. Charles, now as to bring down the price tag to, to make sure that it is something thats commercially viable. And this is where things like sort of investments and govern government support. And so these can be extremely impactful. There is a number of proven concepts and theres a number of companies that have a technology ready. Wiley, u. K, and canadian governments have been the biggest invest, doesnt tied to power. Overall, grants and Government Investment have been flew with less than 0. 02 percent of annual investment engineer goods meeting tied to and so its been behind the curve in other ways to electricity from underwater title turbines can cost up to 9. 00 times that produced by turbines above the surface of the water, but the industry targets that life cycle costs could fall to 0. 10 per kilowatt hour by the end of the decade, which would be pretty cheap. But apart from cost, what actually happens when you put this turbines under water oceans are abundant with marine life. The structure of the la rons project from earlier decimated the populations of to 1st species. And like Wind Turbines that have been known to cause the lungs of bats flying past implored the pressure difference caused by total barrages could have a similar effect on the internal organs of fish. But tidal stream projects are already more eco friendly. Hydro turbines turn quite slowly. So the idea of things getting chopped is, is, is going to be, you know, probably not going to have things getting hit yes. Back and happens, especially at tip speeds. The big problem is not probably going to be collision. The problem is going to be displacement, that animals will avoid these areas and therefore not use these dairies to feed in. Weve prepared it to Climate Change and even by 2050. What you see is Climate Change is 10 times worse than taking the maximum amount out of tides. Title has other benefits too. While its financial, of course, is still higher than other renewables. If net benefit could actually be higher when you consider things like its predictable supply of clean energy to the grid. All the fact that stream projects dont visually affect beautiful sea view. So especially in cost, the long island nations title does have the power to play a significant role in getting the net 0 in a relatively less destructive way. The need of the hour is to make tighter power competitive. We need to understand such Natural Forces and live in harmony with nature. Thats one key way to solve the huge global problems facing us and for us to live halsey contented lives. Despite worsening global crises, more and more people are living ever longer lives. According to the un, there have never been so many 100 year olds. There are now more than half a 1000000 centenarians world wide, 5 so called blue zones. Aki noah in japan. A korea in greece. Ali astra inside dina. Costa rica nicola peninsula and loma linda in california. All have very high numbers of People Living far longer than average. Whats their secret . Meat jane peel 103. James ho 82. And christine ho, 85, theyre old and theyre in great shape in loma linda, southern california, thats not unusual. Ooh, oh. Jean peel swears my healthy diet. Shes never smoked, and shes been te total. All her life. People are killing themselves where theyre eating pep, your, your lifestyle is killing them. Shes a member of the 7th day adventist church, a protestant denomination, if members believe in clean living and advocate vegetarianism this hello message is not our religion. Its that they call it a right hand help because lot of people wont listen to religion, but theyll listen to health. Jane peals lane. Husband was a doctor. Every one in her community make sure they drink a lot of water and exercise every day. They also believe in a day of rest. This community began and the early 20th century, when adventist pioneers opened a sanatorium, here it became the Loma Linda University medical center. The church is healthy, lifestyle seems to add years to its members, lives. The loma linda community is the core of americas blue zone, where people live much longer than the rest of the world. Theres a city wide smoking ban. Cardiologist, gary fraser has investigated the 7th day adventists longevity and a long term study. We felt that its pushed a head as compared to other californians, a man about 7 years and woman about 4 and a half, which is a big deal. I mean thats the kind of dane slit a whole population. Mike, mike m a generational 2 generations. Christine, whoa, hits the pool to swim lamps every morning. A former nurse, she believes that exercise keeps her young and healthy. She likes to crawl a few length and then switch to back stroke. I like the bag straw because you can but you know, a brief vendor. And when, when i do best, i see the sky. Sometimes the sky clouds and all have different ha, any mall of formation, you know, as i enjoy looking like that. Her husband, james ho, please, badminton, regularly, always against a younger opponent. Not all of the residents of law melinda are elderly. Its a multi generational place. James ho used to coach the son of his badminton partner, whos 30 years younger than him. It makes me active in michel o gall palm mall quarter. He said those are relaxing, okay. The young people are the more saw that it makes me and also wants to move with them at home. The walls are decorated with james hos many metals. Now 82. 00, he still takes part in competitions in the senior category and usually wins. But the couple also feel that a long and fulfilling life is about learning to savor the moment. Both of us, we had retiring early enough. If i take it easy, we do, i just and now my me to leave on and, and see the will and enjoy. I keep the sabbath i called the church and saying ok, volunteer. Right . They dont pay me, but i volunteered to help. That makes me happy because i can share my talents. Read people. Oh, i, momentary work appears to be another secret to a long and happy life. Oh, oh, as is the sabbath, the day of rest and worship . Every one here follows the church as rules and adheres to its wholesome doctrine. Most americans have a notably shorter Life Expectancy than many europeans and are more likely to suffer from high Blood Pressure and diabetes. Also cardiologist, gary freezer thinks loma linda could serve as a role model for the rest of the country. Religion. Aside this low magic elixir rules pull it, they swallow Something Like this. Um, its raw, theyve taken many things that we know and the ve actually put them into practice as a whole group. Jane peel takes an hour long walk each day, even in the blazing sun. Shes convinced a few of her neighbors to join her. Good job. Well, ive changed my diet. Ive lost some way. I walk more. Yeah. Yeah, shes that person. Jane feels advice is simple. Just do what nature, what god intended us to do. Hidden can do us, do just follow pills and sit around and watch tv. Get out. Nature get out and enjoy life, good grief. She doesnt understand why some people find that so hard. Surely Everyone Wants to lead a long, happy, and healthy life. Thats so from us this week and label 3000.
