how documentary series will say, how people, companies and countries are we thinking everything that's making later changes were made on food cooper. if a massive cyber attack or something like that happens and we can re boot our country from the outside. welcome. i'm going to be sure it's our future after all. and if we don't do something, our children won't be able to enjoy fresh air will be mostly, you know, want to get on your if revealed starts november 3rd on d w. ah ah ah, ah, 2 centuries of industrial innovation have brought germany to where it is now,
5:31 pm
a production power house use factories, fuel the world, but those the countries future lie, indeed industrialization. what would that mean for germany's workers and work places? 2 big questions will answer today. also coming up on the pallet, what mid term elections mean for the u. s. energy transition. coming on line. meet the indonesian pharmacy, finding new ways to sell their produce. and rock and bread roll can heavy metal music make a better baking? welcome to mate t w's business accuracy. now england was the cradle of the industrial revolution with the famous spinning jenny enabling the world's 1st factories. next came the steam engine, which power production lines. and also steam locomotives, rail transport was born by 1830 germany was full steam ahead with its own industrialization. by the end of that century,
5:32 pm
its economy had overtaken england's in many ways. since the 1950s, germany's been europe's industrial power house. and that still provides the foundation for jobs, prosperity, and social society. but during the current energy crisis is the on wood march of manufacturing coming to a halt. our 1st report asks if de industrialization is on the cops. chemical processing plants, the size of a small town with gas and electricity consumption, in billions of kilowatt hours. germany's economy meets enormous amounts of energy, but it's currently in short supply and more expensive than ever thought it. we're already seeing significant declines and production, especially in the more energy intensive production processes, little to steel, mills, heavy industry, and mechanical engineering. the end of russian gas supplies is catastrophic for many companies bowl times. the way that it's going to go this time
5:33 pm
means that not everyone can be rescued by algorithm is germany's time as an economic superpower over with the entire industries collapse. and what can be done with the keys a should quite as, as the accelerating a transformation process that was inevitable. anyway. english ah, the rapid rise and gas and electricity prices has hit the chemical industry particularly hard. it is one of the most energy intense of sectors with a share of 29 percent. it is the largest consumer of energy, followed by metal production at 22 percent and coking and oil refining with around 10 percent alongside glass paper and food production. the supply contracts for many companies are due to expire at the end of the year. the new conditions come as
5:34 pm
a shock, darby, an entire wiser explained in some cases, extremely high. prices are being announced for gas and electricity from dcs. cost can simply be passed on for products ranging from the detergents to pharmaceutical products to adhesive and other items that are ultimately made from chemical precursors. and on the, on the left us, she's will affect the entire chemical production chain lift from next year at the latest on. this is because i'm her, she should be good at chemical company, b, s, f, half of the natural gas. it needs used to come from russia as early as the beginning of the 1990 s. b, a s f built a gas pipeline with the russian state owned company, gas prom to its headquarters in looked which often the company also provided financial support for the construction of the yamaha pipeline via poland to germany . from 2008. the company was involved in the construction of north stream one and so russian gas flowed at particularly cheap rates as the dealer. the 1st mistake
5:35 pm
was dependent on russia and increasing that dependent even after the annexation of crimea will. that's why the 2nd big mistake is that we were too slow on the expansion of renewable energy. the technologies have been available for 10 years and are efficient and inexpensive. but we put the brakes on and now it's taking its toll windsor. so it's also our fault, as the crisis is now so deep that germany's entire economic structure is in danger . gas is also used to generate electricity in germany. it costs almost $0.32 per kilowatt hour in germany, while the international average is just 12 expensive energy is becoming a problem for export to pendant medium sized companies. with their help, germany is weathered every crisis and done well in the globalized market economy.
5:36 pm
but without cheap energy products become too expensive on the world market. ready ready ready so what's the way out event, when did he energy transition? and the green transformation are definitely the greatest opportunity to turn his crisis into something positive. so they can and should helpless to really become a world leader again as an industrial country engineer. as a country of engineers, when it comes to sustainability to a nova, energy volume, german companies must reposition themselves, invest in new technologies and energy efficiency, and promote research and development. energy networks and infrastructure must also be expanded by the state. oh, oh usual, don't you don't need german in european companies need to develop a technological advantage by seeing more expensive energy. that is a disadvantage over the next 5 to 10 years. neat nuts instead which the they should
5:37 pm
become. so technical logically advanced that they can more than make up for that, i see that lighting ahead of the curve on higher energy costs than he cost be asked it restructuring the economy is the biggest challenge facing germany for the next few years. but time is running out beyond the next few years. there's another existential threat to all of the world's economies. climate change in the a state of west virginia minus have been extracting coal from the earth over a century, helping to power america's own industrial development. present day president joe biden says fossil fuels can no longer be the engine of success. his policies aimed at switching the united states to more sustainable energy sources are very much on the ballots in upcoming midterm elections as on next report shows. oh, it is guarded safety glove. abandoned haul trucks,
5:38 pm
disused mining equipment scattered at a derelict mine. west virginia cold country has long lost its pre eminent role to day. even one of the greatest strongholds of the u. s. fossil fuel industry attract investment in windmills and solar panels. but with the mid term elections approaching, this change will be on the ballot as a war on fossil fuels. here in america, whole is not competitive anymore. the co industry or folks can adapt to whatever the market needs. so can west virginia move away from it's called legacy into a green future. and how will the mid term elections influence this transition? ever since west virginia became a state in 1863, it's economy was solidly based on coal. it's a very rural state. no big cds. not such big uni we're cds,
5:39 pm
nor diversified companies. the coal industry was really the big player in that state for many, many years in the past. they helped a schools financially being built. they offered how a thing to their workers, even as the world strives to move away from fossil fuels, here in west virginia, coal is still going strong. the industry employs tens of thousands of people. it's the main source of the states electricity. and the 2nd largest contributor to the states g, d, p. after the healthcare industry. cobra's always been a part of was regina's history. jason bostic has dedicated his career to the cold business. he thinks the industry is here to stay. her margin still only we're in the world, you're using some level of wash, which under culp that's one reason why cold production is actually increasing. in 2021. 92000000 tons of coal were produced up from 70000000 in the year before. and
5:40 pm
this year's output is expected to be even higher the rest of the world from continually back to forge still an a fee over the renewable slash norman build al, continues life. it is, you know, that where no blades go after west virginia coal. but as strong as the coal industry might be, there's a general push towards renewable energy in the upcoming mid term elections. that push will be on the ballot. the mid term elections matter. nora lula has worked for many years to promote policies in favor of renewable energy's. issues like inflation and abortion are likely to play a more important role in the midterms. but if the democrats lose their majority, they are green agenda could also be jeopardized. climate change is a highly politicized question. on the majority of republican stone, one now at mid debt climate change us human mate,
5:41 pm
that's the biggest general fear i would have with a republican dominance. their rhetoric about how fossil fuel industry isn't bad and reducing taxes and saw having less opportunity to support new technologies in the future. until now, democrats enjoyed a majority in both the house and the senate and could pass an important bill that supports this green transition. regardless of the republicans opposition, the funding from the inflation bill will go to every state. even states like west virginia, who's representatives oppose this bill, can use the money to promote green projects. this former coal mine is a perfect example of that. at 1st glance, it looks quite gloomy. the mind was closed and abandoned in 2015, but its future is more promising. a multi $1000000.00 project by a private investor will replace the abandoned mining equipment with dozens of
5:42 pm
windmills b, as a stated and do a good shop to create a diversification in their industry. so many people have been losing their jobs because they were dependent on coal industry. and that's why now this dis shifting out of coal because it's not competitive anymore. it's not just wind power, but also solar. this is the largest solar farm in the state, yet it only produces enough energy for a toyota car manufacturing plant. all renewable energy combined cover less than 7 percent of the state's net electricity generation, but west virginia governor jim justice believes this is just a 1st step into a bright new future. our diversifying our state and moving forward in every way. here he signing a $500000000.00 investment deal with berkshire hathaway energy. the firm plans on developing an industrial park powered with renewable energy world,
5:43 pm
done see west virginia as a place that was maybe backward or poor, dan g or whatever it may be. the world now sees west virginia as the dominant ross that they moved. oh, the world maybe. but what to west virginians make of all the hype about green energy. we're visiting the coal mining museum in beckley, west virginia, a small town around 60 miles south east of the states capital, charleston. the museum is all about the old ways of coal mining. here we meet my colo a retired coal miner. there's a war on fossil fuels here in america. you know that we got co under our feet. we got natural gas, 100 feet within vega there out and other countries vegan for he's convinced west virginia is far from seeing the end of coal. the issue will play a central role in the mid terms. fossil fuels, all that's
5:44 pm
a big issue. it always is. every day they want clean air cleaner, know everything, right? always a big issue with coal has been on a decades long decline. the role of call was an energy source in the country and the state has changed. democrats have used their government majority to support green projects, but if they lose the coming mid term elections, this transition could become harder to move. the biggest downside of that is that with the majority they have, they would try to push and support again more to fossil fuel industry. not yet renewable projects like these in the heart of west virginia. cold country show that change is hard to stop. great change requires great skill, almost specifically skilled workers, not just to maintain a new power sources, but also to build them. however,
5:45 pm
skilled employees are in short supply right now, not just here in york, but around the world. how can that be and what can be done about it? well, let's take a look, shall we? what is a skilled worker shortage? oh, a skilled worker shortage is a lack of qualified employees that lasts for an extended period of time. it's estimated that by 2030, they'll be a global shortage of 85000000 skilled workers. when companies lack the necessary skilled employees, their production decreases. that means less revenue and lower profits. people who are highly trained or educated are considered skilled workers. the shortage is especially present in the i t sector. the service industry and, and skilled trades in includes engineers, computer scientists, and people who care for the elderly. helping to wrap presence does not count as skilled labor people without degrees, often have fewer chances to enhance their skills and toil away in the low wage
5:46 pm
sector. many workers decided to further their education during the corona virus pandemic, and didn't return to their former jobs. after the worst of the pandemic subsided, there also missing on the labor market. germany's large number of older people are now and during retirement, and there are a few, a younger people starting their professional lives. reforming e u policies on asylum seekers could soften the crisis. but the international competition for skilled workers is intense. there are lots of ideas about how to reduce the skilled labor shortage. they include raising the retirement age, increasing the work week to 42 hours and making it easier to combine work with having a family. but no one knows of these changes, would motivate people to take the jobs on offer. one thing is certain, there may be a lack of workers, but there's no lack of work to be done. next to
5:47 pm
a bit of indonesian innovation, the country's agricultural sector is slowly adopting new technology. but manual work is still the order of the day. however, one young entrepreneur has developed a modern way to help farmers find buyers for that produce. he has hundreds of agricultural clients on board using the internet to connect them with consumers, supermarkets, hotels, and elsewhere. his, his story sect not upon agriculture, will only become redundant when human life ceases to exist on the shamela, mika pudd'nhead. but fanny, this with her face, farmers are already good at cultivation, but they're not crated marketing. but i, so i try to take over that role. i tried to be a representative for them that i also by their produce with the quality terms we specified adding, i give them a better price than they'd normally receive. yeah. yeah. so that's what we're doing
5:48 pm
. we're trying to cut the market chain and we went out from the farm straight to the consumers, the wouldn't he get perhaps on so many sandy started his business at the age of just 21. he began by selling his father's agricultural product through an online platform plot. i am and when he got many people believed it wasn't a good idea. and again, she told me it wouldn't plead anywhere. you are bundling and young could i left the say, are you sure you want to be a farmer at that time? people believe that agriculture was not a very lucrative sector neatly. and the last act that i am what i went up in the meantime. sandy has also opened his own supermarkets, where he sells the farmers products directly. yang at the men domonique. what you see now is the place where my parents used to live and where i come from among. i grew up in a farmer's family. well,
5:49 pm
i guess i yellow. oh, that is the funny. but messiah my father was always supportive. he always encouraged would ever i did, and i am a lanka. but he passed away in 2017. the legal and our ne. i need to add him into blessed the my now told me that god will never give a problem beyond the capacity of his people and said to myself, i knew america was it as a matter what can you do get a laugh, mowing. yeah, i and yeah, we were shocked because his father had wanted him to become a teacher. yeah. and that sandy's wish was not in line with his father. young man. he wanted to become a business man. oh yeah. but of his woke. yeah. yes. it is. but i tend to has little antipathy. i as i all the companies that i founded are digitally integrated yesterday. but i did, i see them and we're not gonna fit. we take advantage of all the information technology that is currently out there in order to be more productive and deficient a month to month. be product, if beneficiary,
5:50 pm
but not hang on as how we keep her. my name is raquel fall, and i had the to ruin. i asked her of farmers group. i'm a fan in the war room conduct district plan. her sandy train me. uh huh. i'm family . the farmer up is very helpful. i'd be better by monday, but to be honest on monday, the 1st time i used it, i was overwhelmed because it was a bit confusing. but thank god, there was a field assistant and sandy. you helped me money. ultimately, i understood how it works and it became easier to use, and i'm happy to gain new knowledge and on my own when you go with the app, farmers can monitor the progress of their crops. no went to fertilize and harvest and calculate how much they earn. i like on i. so my message to all you millennial farmers out there in fact, don't be afraid to be farmers have the courage to work and do business in the agricultural sector. onion ah,
5:51 pm
now some foods can be rich in iron, but this bread roll is infused with heavy metal. it was baked to the sounds of hard rock and its bakers insist that you can taste the difference. i can the right sort of music rarely make for better bread. see what you think? ah, a sound when is our movement and they also move the micro organisms enjoy, which then produces war flavors. so it's a win win and great music for 1000000 building a great case on the bread winner. hi, my name is axel schmid. i'm. i'm a master baker and bred somalia. back in the day i wanted to be
5:52 pm
a rock star. i was really involved in the music and was pretty successful at what there was actually a time when i had to decide between being and musician or a baker, rightly but. but then i decided to go for bacon. luckily 150 bucks to been cheating . ah, this is jojo, i'm a 4th generation baker. i grew up here with flour in my veins. there's my grandfather and my father were my role model. but i've always thought that we bakers were a bit behind the times of us that the trade was missing out on something bigger and how to present yourself. and i think that was really the crux of it. that's when i said this needs to change or let's be cool. transparent, no secrets and have fun at the same time. ah, i'm the official baker for the fucking open air festival vans. i'm on the road at
5:53 pm
festivals with bands, and i have a lot of heavy metal bands as guest. we always have one of these lane growers. i like to flam bay lot. recently. i was in a hot air balloon with a band on their maiden voyage. for we baked bread and had a tasting session together in the air. that was pretty crazy. the boat coming a bread, somalia requires additional training on top of being a master baker and you learn new things in addition to your master's training. vince like sensory train level to describe chase i, i need to be able to bake a great bread. and i also need to be able to describe how it tastes in the past. it was just good or not so bad. ah, on diaesha from the since i'm a musician and it was always my hobby and i decided to try and combine these 2 passions. so i tried to find out whether sound waves can influence the job and
5:54 pm
whether sound can be used to change the taste in any way. the life of the site is fine full of life on the north. i'm just fucking off the market to especially our family, kissell child and sound waves or tiny movements. the finer the sound wave, the smaller they are. we tried it with deep base that really rumbles all the way up to ultrasound using tiny sound waves. and that's when things move like there are micro organisms in the dough, and we discovered that they're actually affected by the sound waves that we could change the acidity and o e h value slightly, which in turn affects the aroma thighs. the home arctic the thought was so sound waves can actually change the aroma, if only minimally as a home ah, on dunlab, if i was really surprised when i was contacted on instagram by the 6th largest brewery in the world. and asked if i could develop a bread for them, would there be or as an ingredient to them?
5:55 pm
plus our sonic sour dough. so now a bakery has been specially built china to make the bread. ah, kinda find your nice you what you really like and then others will like it to believe me, i stay hungry, educate yourself. nobody is too old or too smart to not learn something new. it's important to do better. that doesn't mean that you weren't already good, but still keep growing careful though to stay modest. nobody likes to know at all. alternately do your thing, 9th. only if you are passionate about what i do. okay. they inspire others. don't try to just copy someone else a true to yourself and be authentic and people will see that and respect it. ah mm hm. hungry
