culture between here and there challenging for everything. to seriousness i think it was worth it for me to come to germany. in the grammar larson's to work as a swimming instructor here for an hour or 2 children 100 votes just random stuff just describe. what's your story take part share it on info migrants dot net. move. the case for innovation couldn't be clearer the world become a very different place and the pandemic is forcing companies to change the way they do business history shows firms that invest in innovation through

a crisis outperform the competition in a recovery if they survive that is it's a balancing act the challenge is seizing the opportunity crises frighten investors and what's not to be scared about look at all the bankruptcy people out of work i'm happy i'm not in the hospitality sector and that i didn't start a business at any time in this crisis and of any type but what's going to happen to all those empty hotels and restaurants and the people who did launch a new business smack bang in the middle of a pandemic. kirillov i leased a hotel during the pandemic most of her rooms are empty. no one's checking in today told the henning has just opened the restaurant but he has no guests are sick or crisis brings opportunities and as a team we want to just seize the moment. and we can keep this up much longer. having her own hotel was a dream come true for here no way and she enjoys chatting to the few guests that

come. despite the pandemic lloyd took the plunge and invested a lot of money. but her hotel's occupancy rate is now just 12 percent. and we didn't expect things to be this and of course we're unsure we're worried about what the future will bring. 'd life partner patrick went into the business together. is now in the middle of the crisis we're a real support for each other i think on our own each of us would probably have given up already. had. together they put several 100000 euros into giving the hotel interior a make over they used all their savings some money from the family to the plan and we obviously didn't plan to open in the middle of a crisis the planning was all done before that but we decided to go through with it

anyway. we're just trying to delay the launch as long as possible. or we saw our earnings that was the 1st month we thought was ok if it continues like this then we can live with. him and he will survive. and now we're trying to hang on as long as we can. get henning was thrilled when he was able to rent the restaurant t.v. . long dreamed of in downtown. and even though he has no guests right now and take away all that is never allowed for him it's a huge stroke of luck. this is an opportunity if you look at the place there's just nowhere else like it in berlin and when you get that chance you have to grab it you can't do anything else. in the kitchen only opens at

lunchtime from thursday to sunday the other days they just do what they can yeah. we've got to know each other in this time and you know what it makes each other take we're also many familiar with the processes involved in the business and the point of sale system accounting etc it's all been a slow introduction. they're doing in the basement tell me how parties. are. heading and gave up a well paid job as a manager in real estate to pursue his restaurant dream. now he's living off his savings. back to the coronavirus into our calculations we also took it into account during contract negotiations the owners accommodated is extremely well they 100 of land demick clause in our contract. you sign

a contract for 10 years you know things are hard for $23.00 or maybe 4 months at the beginning that's the blink of an eye compared to that 10 year contract to do continue on. is also optimistic for now. we have no regrets about taking this step this crisis in particular has brought us closer as a team we've grown together and taken the hurdles together is a good start. one of their regular guests popped by recently with a surprise and. we were there during a difficult time. and now that we're not doing so well with a covert crisis he suddenly appeared at the reception and handed us a box containing little gifts. and a donation of 2000 euros. 5000. that was really a lot of money for him it was very generous and we were just incredibly touched i

was moved to tears that someone could be so kind at a time like this and want to support a side of things to come. 'd and have partners say they can hold out until april but after that they may well have to give up on their dream. incoming president of the united states joe biden says he wants to pump trillions of dollars into clean energy sources for many a ray of hope for others a nightmare like in the western state of wyoming where the coal industry is in freefall it's seen thousands of jobs lost the oil and gas industry is also feeling the pinch and green alternatives like wind turbines well they just haven't had enough luck as far as making jobs go so far at least so is this a crisis or could it also be an opportunity.

welcome to gillette wyoming the south proclaimed energy capital of the united states the energy. industry has been the backbone of this community for 40 years. but the $30000.00 residents tested a rough patch until just about 10 years ago whole mining here and elsewhere in wyoming made up a whopping 40 percent of the total electricity mix in the u.s. it's a 20 percent former prosperity mayor memorabilia these days and thinks i'm not likely to get any better for the state's fossil fuel industries to the contrary president elect biden candidate biden said more than once that he intended to move the united states away from fossil fuels we take him at his word and that's going to be tough

and we will we will do all we can to fight it but. the gas industry in wyoming lost a 3rd of its jobs from $13000.00 down to $9000.00 in one year alone the coal industry lost 2 and a half 1000 jobs within the last 4 yes now only about 4 and a half 1000 people work in coal a far cry from what was once i think we're no losers for a coal industry in particular it's going to be a tough 4 years at least on the outskirts of the office and hang out for coal miners oil workers and all of this working in the local fossil fuel industry and they're all worried says office owner jim plate and to be cults he worked 22 years and coal himself before running his saloon. you know why people come and have a drink once in a while because they discuss their economic futures and they discuss their lifetime futures fears in this energy if your energy prices don't go up we don't have any

way to make a living that's the bottom why. or guess that's the bottom one. but the new biden administration's economic plan locates $1.00 trillion dollars to renewable and clean energy for folks here so this is a nightmare we're not in the renewable energy but also fuels those words. those windmills running down with are not going to save anybody in this country. the new face of wyoming looks increasingly like this when turbine generators as far as one can see we're visiting a pacific or build on top of what used to be the glen rock coal mine 114000 acres $158.00 wind turbines are generating clean energy now pacific orifice owned by no other than warren buffett his holding company berkshire hathaway plans to invest

a total of $6000000000.00 into wind and solar in wyoming that sounds good but there's a problem clean energy doesn't generate enough new jobs and state tax revenue to offset the combined losses suffered from the declining fossil fuel industry. the real challenge in the state is trying to find replacement activity that people can make a living at. and finding ones that they want to do i mean it has to match with your culture and your identity and so that stuff. people here always identified with coal oil gas and ranching rick grant is a 4th generation cattle rancher for many years he tried to make it by just being a rancher not anymore he's not old so. today 15 winter bites on his property generating power for the grits and needed extra income for

rick this changes benefited our family greatly this change is given us a steady revenue it's allowed us to be. part of the bigger picture with the war on coal and not knowing where fossil fuels and what part they're going to play our country in this world needs electricity. that the city is betting on technology and new research that allows calls to become better carbon capture new coal products and hopefully a good working relationship with the incoming administration or the mayor this will make them when are you. going to give me the option because we are looking forward we have already been working with department of energy and if you take president biden at his word i mean he just wants its all to work together so i take comfort in that because that's what we want to do. seems like it's not all gloom and doom for wyoming embracing change will be key.

a change will sooner or later force the energy sector to change its ways so what are some of the sustainable opportunities i recently discovered the power of geothermal energy on a trip to iceland is spectacular and or inspiring knowing that fountain of water old guys could burn you to death it's around $100.00 degrees celsius is a vast reservoir of readily accessible energy right beneath our feet in this climate friendly energy source is really tapped the question is why not. obviously it's not only the senate and stunning. geothermal power next to last time i use hot and messy. and it makes clean electricity and heating for the isis. but not only iceland is blessed geothermal energy could power the world

for generations to come and to best thing is we can find a match and every place on this planet if it's a sustainable eternity if the fossil fuels for countries around the world. initiates it's thundering of fire and it makes us having the biggest git em up and shell in the world but it is still largely untapped and most people would never have heard of it and have no comprehension of what geo verbal lives. so how does geothermal energy work and why is so much of it still not being used. it's almost like going to a 1000000 planet we want a lot of food so if you remove grape juice to work out. what a description of ice in fact people did are very proud of how geothermal energy has changed the country iceland has moved from being poor country primarily sharing the importance of oil and coal change than we have transformed to

our energy system and geothermal energy and renewable it's became flies lump what chocolate and banking office which of the 6 heating are all night out of 10 houses and almost 30 percent to 60 let's start with a small one no one here what is geothermal energy. heat warms water that has seeped into on the ground reza was you can drill 2 x. is it or at the tectonic plate boundaries the water breaks through the earth's surface as steam or hot water all by itself. and if you're really clever you can direct that into a turban and generate electricity and after using it the cold water is pumped back into the iris and inside the owners it's heated again on the way to the producing oil and that's what it's like a cycle of cold water. and almost limitless renewable source that can be used for

heating and electricity. like in iceland where geothermal energy has become more and more important it was pushed in the 1970 s. when all crisis hit the world and shook tiny iceland as well from harlem borrow. a story from. and if the crisis of life is so refused the. speed of. almost all important arm was. a success story in countries around the world are learning from iceland and a keen to use to technology back home and especially in indonesia this could be a game changer in egypt is an island actually a local because you can see itself thousands of violins delegated along the equator and on top of the effect of will cain knows the so-called ring of fire. we just say

cynically acted until now and it makes us having the biggest get them up in the world approximately $29.00 gigawatts of potential geothermal power is spread across hundreds of locations on several islands such as java to levy sea sumatra and bali but how much is that really 29 go words well and back to the future in the eighty's it took 1.21 gigawatts to travel through time a crazy big number back down. up point 25. today $29.00 gigawatts can be expressed as the output per year of $29.00 medium sized nuclear power plants or $12344.00 wind turbines that means potentially more than one 3rd of indonesia's energy capacity could come from geothermal power plants one day it's now still mostly public by coal. 62 president obama at the city comes from the poor on bad information we have this

week and the sions fund that are called parkland and it makes the air pollution going so badly here that's why we need to change our energy choice and geothermal energy could be a smart choice it is available 24 hours per day $365.00 days per year in contrast to so we're. on cloudy days or wind when the wind doesn't blow and as it is a clean technology it could tell decarbonize the policy to not only in indonesia but in other parts of the world the wrong tree to 4 percent of global energy demand by 2050 could be supplied from geothermal estimates a. whole of today just around the quantum of the norm potential around the world is being used one reason is it is not attractive to investors in the short term because it takes years to develop. once the

operation is firmly developed and everybody is everything is running well it is definitely a cash cow you are making money left and right but it takes a long time and people are impatient and not a problem it's just thermal exploration could trigger earthquakes not just the drilling itself but removing the steam and returning to water can destabilize the undergrowth it's rare but it can happen and in indonesia. is also resistance because many areas a sacred moment people thinking. these are really out of their mind if that holy place is being driel you'll get just a minor g. and since coal is still the top priority in indonesia it is hard to sell the idea of green geothermal energy. the local people who live close to the region off

of the edge of the manager resources they don't talk about change they don't talk about green energy because the issue of green energy is not really popular despite some technological problems geothermal energy seems to have great potential not only in iceland but are on the world and if we've learned something from the icelanders it's that other countries could start promoting and investing much more into it because dirt is a great and clean source of power waiting to be used right there. and look to the stars now with thanks to one of the most famous innovators of out time a long mosque is project starlink promises to bring high speed internet to everyone not just people in big cities all richer economies this could be a solution from far off places all around the globe including remote communities in africa devoted restricted access until now well we've visited eastern congo where

every upload is a challenge just wait till but it's also working. in some parts of africa uploading files it's often a real challenge many places have little to no access to the internet. but. does the solution lie in space thousands of satellites are being deployed to enable high speed internet worldwide by starlink a 10 bill. dollar project launched by south african born in long months. jacko had obama is a documentary filmmaker and journalist he also provides footage to t.v. broadcasters in europe and needs to transfer the images quickly over the internet. but in his hometown of sucking in eastern congo and getting a connection as often a hit or miss affair. he's currently trying to upload his footage by his cellphone

. some tell you it's away it's in some snow to work in good some day and it is said it's only 2 g. that waits. much more and the boats can take even a day full day sending just due to the way it. is not only sucky is a little village that needs into needs but the form called the full country needs into it so what i can ask for styling is to just come here and the. goods dear company here because people need internet. but aren't there more pressing problems here like fighting hunger and poverty.

and if the internet is a necessity to any place in the wild it is where it is in africa and never was and it was communities to tap into whether it's education systems that they do not have access to or healthcare systems that they would otherwise have no access to. all of the cultural markets the culture projects that they will have no access to. starlink is intended to serve africa to. data and videos will be transmitted to satellites that will be in the material to tracking stations connected to the internet. starlink is currently testing its technology in the united states to get a high speed internet connection users need a device which is easy to install initial reports say the connections are usually

fast and stable. among. them becomes difficult to someone. you know our lord is. maybe you should. be able. to go maak is the closest city in congo to muhammad's home internet cafes here promise wrap it up loads the journalist hopes he'll finally be able to send his video material all 40 kg of bytes of it. when i want to sell it just like to draw bigger plates to for just click here. nothing. nothing. 40 gigabytes would cost him almost $150.00 euros here he did these people who are just sitting just money. just dealing because you're going with this it did

it then it's not so up in. the starling technology could improve speed and reliability in cyber cafes and allow unrestricted access to the worldwide web but that is precisely what the government in congo doesn't want. to be. prevented octagon but what of recognition. or. is this the end of the road for starlink in africa now neighboring rwanda has been using other provider satellites for fast internet for some time now it's seen as a driver for development internet tourists come to could gali from far and wide from hama it was a 4 hour trip by bus and motorbike. the speed these are. the upload

takes 2 hours his client in the netherlands has finally received the video files the price $20.00 heroes i didn't cross the border to border in the country just to look for. it's simply to move to the country than my aunt. that this was it is they say henri that president there is. this all the way to. i'm sure all of these. are actually. checking in the mom is tired of all the traveling around he still pinning his hopes on starlink and its promise to deliver high speed internet to africa. his cross for jack and all the others around the world would like to enjoy

all the information they can get their hands on thanks to the most impressive innovations about time the internet the team and me here in berlin thanks for joining us for another episode of made. the fish. fish. fish. to.
