ah, climate change, if we truly want to get it under control, we have to wave farewell to fossil fuels, but at the same time we also need to satisfy the world's insatiable appetite for energy energy consumption is increased 60 percent in the last 3 decades alone with developing parts of asia, africa, and latin america needing ever more power. a key question hangs over us. where will we get energy? and as the theme of this edition of made the w's business magazine. now the oil and gas corporation, b, p, has made a prediction. this is how it thinks our energy usage will develop between now and 2040. the strongest growth will be in renewable energy is like wind and solar power colored in green here. but the most surprising forecast is that our oil, gas and coal usage is not set to go down. in fact, we'll be relying on fossil fuels, even more out china and india are likely to be the biggest contributors to that. but every investment in coal is an investment in an industry that's ultimately dying, as, as it's mirand jam reports. mm hm. this is cobham . this is what it does to us. but even though we know how dirty coal is, we can't get enough of it. coal powers phones heats homes, and it's used to make the concrete and steel a lives of built around cohesive falling in the us and europe. but across asia, it still came. cold is the biggest source of energy in countries like china, india, and indonesia. they've had to keep mining cold and building clots to burn it. so how did the world get hooked on cold? and how can we quit the addiction? oh, the story of cold begins 250 years ago. when british mentors realized you could heat water with cold to make steam spin turbines and power machines actually let 31300000000 years before the steam engine to carbon rich plants, the died in swamps, millions of years of heat and pressure. turn these fossils into rocks packed with energy, and back in the modern world. that energy was sorely needed. the industrial revolution created machines. lots of them led to a global boom and prosperity, but was unprecedented in human history. there were little to no alternatives, therefore it was very rational, miss, very understandable. and it was not that controversial. this is how you, he's an n g expert. he studies how countries that have invested in cold can we've to clean the sources of energy for europe. we can definitely see that there has been a very good side of coal. through the 20th century, economic prosperity came across the continent as well as piece that went along with your union. that the prosperity cold brings comes at a price, mining and burning cold damage of the climate and has people's health. and that's why the u. n. is cool to kick cold out of electricity by 2013 rich countries, and by 2040 for the rest of the world. we need renewable energy and green jobs. no more fossil fuel subsidies or new coal fired power plants. so we have that coming along. well, global coal emissions have basically plotted in south america and africa, coal with values in the 1st place in the us and europe cold has been declining for decades. but across asia, co just keeps on growing with last year, china and india been more than 2 3rd of all the cold that the world. but the rest of the continent is, is more cold than the e. u and u. s. put together. and the problem isn't even just the coldest binding to day. the new mindset opening and power, plaza building i designed to run for decades now, some southeast asian countries cancel plans to build coal plants last year. but india, for instance, wants to invest $55000000000.00 in coal over the next decade. and he spent several times that on renewables to meet of targets. and then that china, it burns half the world co, but has pledged slash carbon emissions to net dairy by 2060 here's what a report by 2 environmental research groups found out about that. to me it's climate goals. china must been new coal power plants and double the electricity made from wind. and so let me say not to prepare to fully prepared to achieve that . this says she way, john lead author of the report. he said that co plans built today will become stranded assets that are unprofitable to keep running that are most important since we were we need the 222 star, the build of renew a set new physical assets. and so as possible, the industry difficulties the world may not light coal, but the world needs cole. this is a speech by the boss of the world cold association in september 2020. but this is not about being light or popular. it's about being realistic. the industry argues that it can make cold clean by sucking c o 2 out of power plants and storing it in the ground. but the technology banking on it expensive and it doesn't exist at scale yet. each year the wealth can cut for about 40 mega tons of c or 2 from industrial sites. and you'll carbon emissions a hundreds of times bigger. so how can countries quit cold and can china and india learn from the west mistakes? let's look at the u. s. cold have been declining that the decades because of cheap alternative like oil and gas. and now wind turbines and solar panels are making it full even fast. the u. s. 336. copeland glossy and has cut its capacity by 25 percent in the last decade. scientists have a problem. governments need to quit cold to keep a safe, but they also need to protect the livelihood, the communities who live from it. that's what you needed. it closed that final hot coal mine in 2018 after 60 year. the steady decline did say without firing a single minor, the government retrained younger miners and paid out old ones who wanted to retire early. but signed to say the energy transition needs to be fat and fast. germany dragged out its transition over decades and as recently as 2020 was still building plants to bun colt. 2 research of the technical university of berlin in 2019 found the to quick a phase out would have cost less and less mining communities adapt better with cling lawn for too long with an old dying industry has a tendency not to support new alternative industries because these are being seen as a kind of competition that might speed up the process to what can co hungry countries like india, where more than 700000 people work as miners take away from this. well, 1st politicians should be honest with voters. that cold air is over and set to clear ended then instead of subsidizing cold companies, government could put the money into retraining work and making new industries for their families. a plan for the future perhaps, but for now, fossil fuels still rule our world. just recently, the price of crude oil has been climbing as economies bounce back from the pandemic . that becoming ever more hungry for it. address no house reports on why the era of oil still isn't over boiled blessing or cass it's greasy, poisonous, and it stinks. crude oil is actually made of our gay and small organisms that have been decaying on the sea floor for millions of years. and that's exactly why it so valuable. this black gold is packed full of energy and excellent fuel source, rushing through the economy like blood. it's been used for thousands of years to seal wooden boats mummified the dead and shoot down enemies with fiery arrows. but it was the popularity of the oil lamp that spoke to the 1st real pain. the oil well drilled by edwin drake in pennsylvania in 1859 became world famous. it was the 1st productive oil, while john d rockefeller became an oil trader. in $1865.00, he founded the company standard oil, which made him the world's richest man. his goal was to have an oil monopoly. the most production of cars eventually made crude oil, the most important raw material in the world. the driving force behind the economy . oil meant prosperity, but it's also triggered many crises and was today's biggest oil producer is the u. s. followed by russia and saudi arabia. but this black gold destroys the environment. oil spills and drilling, accidents pollute the seas, and the lumps suffocates under mounds of plastic waste. made from it as the such role turnitin becomes increasingly desperate. the production of oil still continues to rise. in 2019 more crude was produced than ever before, nearly 95000000 barrels every day. reserves a finite day, as is the power of the oil companies, and the countries that rely on oil exports, the opec cartel meetings might soon be a purely social gathering. oh, so how do we reduce c o 2 without stalling the engines of the world's growing economies? while some say the answer is staring in the face in the form of atomic energy, e. e. u is currently planning to designate new nuclear power plants as green investments provide it, they come with a satisfactory plan to dispose of their radioactive waste. that has environmentalists, rubbing their eyes in disbelief. arena strauss and marianna, who to report on a new nuclear power struggle the rules, demand for energy is growing. how can the supply be more sustainable? what role can nuclear power play? ah, hulu shima and nuclear disaster that shocked the world that had a lasting effect on attitudes to nuclear power. fukushima galvanized him, says enclave shocked after the disaster happened. the anti nuclear activists travel to japan. for mercer to the hope was not to me, it was like the end of the world arguments you from that moment on. i wondered about the risk of living close to a nuclear reactor, especially for women and children. what kind of dangers would they be exposed to in the event of an accident? on his expose article, she was actually door a nuclear. the fact is, nuclear energy is a lot more dangerous than renewable energy. yet it's also true that on balance nuclear accidents claim fewer lives than coal mining and gas extraction accidents. still, germany opted for a nuclear phase out in the wake of the fukushima disaster. if you hear guns orphans, i would like to say that although i support civilian nuclear power, my view of nuclear energy has been altered by the events in japan yap on. so in, thus, germany's nuclear phase out astonished the world not least because at a time when coal mines are being closed down as part of efforts to tackle climate change. nuclear energy is miley seen is playing an important role in making up the energy shortfall. we have an for jen, an enormous talent in front of us. we really cannot afford either looked through it to say no. however, the nuclear phase out has help boost the renewable energy sector. renewables now account for 50 percent of electricity production in germany compared to 20 percent 10 years ago. you can argue it both ways, but probably germany would have been able to reduce emissions a bit quicker bit differently. but also that supported really b, up, think of radio or also not only in germany, but global mo, bearing france, meanwhile, has taken a different route, its home to more than 50 nuclear reactors. and many of them have been operating for decades. brucell 100. we have the field of the reactors are the greater the risk of accidents oh no one can guarantee that they will remain safe to report after all. nuclear power plants produce radioactive substances. vehicle receiver z, such as plutonium at the law on site. now over 50 years old plutonium is extracted from spent nuclear fuel and then reprocessed. but the industry will be different in the future, say experts it would, it would. the idea is to develop react as the can be produced in factories with processes that hours fully automated as possible, that keeps costs down without compromising standards, the alpha in light of the climate crisis. many countries are banking on nuclear energy and building new reactors, especially in asia. but critics aren't convinced and point to the political aspects of nuclear energy. they say that nuclear energy is actually more costly than the alternatives costs carried by tax payers. normally would in places where economics are put 1st, nuclear energy doesn't play much of a role. francis tradition, me and nuclear power. economically, it was a disaster. the french utility company, e. d. f electricity to france, which bore the brunt of this program, has debts worth 40 to 45000000000 euros, and has had to be rescued from bankruptcy by being re nationalized in open court. the issue remains controversial. we need more energy and lower c o 2 emissions. the role of nuclear power in the energy mix is a question that countries are deciding for themselves. but as we seek to turn back the tides of climate change, it could be the tides themselves that provide the solution. solar power and wind energy are only as reliable as the weather. but as long as the sun and moon continued to exert that gravitational influence on our seas, title, energy would never let us down off the coast of scotland. you could witness this winter by ins, being put into the water. they called tidal turbines. they sit on the sea floor and harness the energy in the moving water that comes in and goes out with the tides. the potential is huge. it's estimated that we could practically capture enough title, energy to power all home from the united states, twice over. yes, at the moment, all the energy we get from existing title power plants worldwide can power less than 400000 homes. so how does tile power work exactly? and why isn't it everywhere yet? tides are predictable. they come in, they go out and they've been doing this the same way since the moon was born. so with the dial stick a turbine on the water as it flows in or out. and viola you can make electricity with the same principle that window binds. you moving water mix the turbine spin, this powers the gearbox on the generator, which turns mechanical energy into electricity. water incidentally is over $800.00 times denser than f, 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. wind starts and stops blowing somewhat randomly and the sun isn't 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 there's no movement and repeat a regular intervals with tides to mean waste extract, power exist, one's called title stream, and the other title range. let's talk about titled range power. that takes advantage of the difference between the high and the low tide which go up to 12 meters. and this kind of title power has been around for decades. the oldest title ran generally, tolerance was built in northern france in 1966. it costs around $1000000000.00 in today's money, which is cheaper than a comparable nuclear power plant. there are 4 other titled range plants running in south korea, russia, canada, and china. apart from geography, the infrastructure to support title drange plants does, doesn't exist everywhere. and people have both the massive structures because they can be who difficult the local environment, disturbing migratory fish, the composition of the soil, and even taking space away from local communities. 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 title, power generation could ship things up for the younger and sexier kind of the market dido stream power. it's showing more promise of the moment with its simpler devices that depend on underwater currency caused by the tides. they vary in shape and design. i like wind turbines that have been known to cause the lungs of bats flank boss, to implored the pressure difference caused by total barrages could have a similar effect on the internal organs of fish. but title stream projects are already more eco friendly. what we see is climate change is by far the worst enemy . so yes, these things will have a environmental effects. but we should put them in that context. climate change, compared to wind of solar energy. 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, it doesn't have an established supply chain or manufacturing chain. corrosion is going to be big problems. you're going to choose your materials really carefully, bio falling as a really big issue where you know, you put something, the water is things are going to want to grow on it and it's gonna make it into low, many repo habitat, the performance of the term deteriorates you need to find some way for renting that that's a huge operational costs, which is why most titled stream generation projects cluster in the global, not where financial support to death. the technology at this stage exists. china and south korea joining in but low income countries like india, have been slow, a drop plans to try out idle power, but they could benefit when the costs of deployment begin to fall. so especially in close to long island nations title does have the power to play a significant role in getting to net 0 in a relatively less disruptive way. the need of the hour is to make tighter power competitive. well, the total phase out of fossil fuels is going to mean the revolutionize ation of our entire economies and means changing how we heat our homes, how we run our factories. and of course, how we power our cars. in that case, the magic word is electron mobility and perhaps the chief wizard is tesla's ellen musk. yeah, as a sophomore, this is the new model why we just picked up a test lynn disorder. we're very proud of it. i'm on once you've driven the tesla, you never want to drive anything out of the thomas on that. yeah. for them fog of food as it does in terms of the driving experience. yeah. the whole concert and presentation mahoney in test it. so consumer friendly, ha, ha, point least tesla currently sells more e cars than any other company. 6 100000 globally in the 1st 3 quarters of 2021. and it doesn't even have a p r department. it clearly doesn't need one. it gets in of good publicity as it is. what do you make of your 1st tesla, tesla, super, super. it's the best car in the world to live. if not before, i still drive a tesla or rather i'm driving one again. i'm crazy. is ellen musk paying you? the snow? it's a u. s. company with a very budget concept. it doesn't do advertising the bus tweets that keeps going testily. the payrolling. anyone cannot just go on tesla. not even lars hendricks. he's president of the t f f. the german chapter of the tesla owners club or get me oh, i see my mission as furthering sustainable mobility. that's important to me. i want to leave my child the world no worse on a one. he was born in tears to love. mobility is a factor in that way. the born border with ashley doesn't acknowledge. ah, every saturday lars hendricks drives to the crow tilden charging hub, one of the largest in germany. there are thousands of e vehicle charging stations here. he's in his element. wanted model 3. this guys obviously here for the 1st time. okay. bye. okay. you're parked at a v to charging point. so your charge at half as fee, as you would at the $3.00 point top of that because like, as in, hendricks knows all the tricks whenever he can. he plugs his club the t f f canal. also by the way, if you haven't seen it already, is, is the latest addition of our magazine hope you like it to live. we can't help noticing that it's a very male world and have our luggage mancha. what have you been to a nothing. eventually we do spot a woman. diana burma was an early adopter, making this switch to an e car almost 10 years ago. there was a lot in the charging infrastructure, has massively expanded since i 1st went electric back in 2012, 13 left watson foot under this but in terms of quality, there's still a lot of room for improvement. it was a small hospital then he still often find charging points that are out of order for not up and running. defect is gonna fatigue over, you know, of that still happen. and so now and then yes, you know, peter e mobility has been booming in recent years. today there are over 1000000 e vehicles on germany's roads. tesla isn't the only company doing well. okay, this is the key. okay. this is zekia, avi 6, she is english named tucker, which we do when we say i phone too. it's navy 6. i give you 6. if you buy an electric vehicle in germany, you can receive a premium of up to $9500.00 euros. but that's not why he bought one. it happened to live on. i have sold a roof panels. i could earn a few cents feeding circles electricity into the grid for frank, but i prefer to be able to charge my car and avoid gas and diesel or the diesel. but today he's charging it here because it's a meeting place for other e mobility in theseus. at least on saturdays a place to meet like minded people and share experiences and love of the vehicles. but the great green transition cannot run on love alone, like tesla or it also needs drive the is to come will tell us if we have put enough energy into making it happen. that's it. from this addition of made a more on the money that makes the world go round, had to theda we dot com slash business. so next time you take care with, [000:00:00;00] with ah, with
