joy eating at home with your families was harvested by people more being exploited than id. so for the in the green revolution on absolutely necessary. europe revealed the future thing determine now how documentary series will show you how people, companies and countries, are we thinking everything, making later changes 0 revealed starts november 3rd on d, w. d. ah, ah, ah, ah, 2 centuries of industrial innovation have brought germany to where it is now
8:31 am
production powerhouse 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 ballot, what mid term elections mean though, the u. s. energy transition coming on line meet the indonesian farm is finding new ways to sell that produce. and rock and bread roll can heavy, metal music make a better baking? welcome to mate. detail, we use business magazine. 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 18. 30 germany was full steam ahead with its own industrialization. by the end of
8:32 am
that century. its economy had overtaken england's in many ways. since the 1950s, germany has 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 got it. we're already seeing significant declines and production, especially in the more energy intensive production processes, little to steel, mills, heavy industry in mechanical engineering, the end of russian gas supplies is catastrophic for many companies will
8:33 am
usually times the way that it's going to go to this time means that not everyone can be rescued by algorithm is germany's time as an economic superpower over with entire industries collapse. and what can be done with the keys, she crazes as accelerating a transformation process that was inevitable. anyway. english ah, the rapid rising gas and electricity prices has hit the chemical industry particularly hard. it is one of the most energy intense 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 a shock,
8:34 am
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 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 with, from next year at the latest. and if it is under, she should be 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 lieu, which often the company also provided financial support for the construction of the jamara 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
8:35 am
rates as the dealer. the 1st mistake was dependence on russia. and increasing that dependent, even after the annexation of crimea, will get 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 when we put the brakes on and now it's taking its toll windsor. so it's also our fault that the crisis is now so deep that germany, the entire economic structure is in danger. gases 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 has weathered every crisis and done well in the globalized market economy.
8:36 am
but without cheap energy products become too expensive on the world market. ready ready ready so what's the way out even though when did the energy transition and the green transformation are definitely the greatest opportunity to turn this 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 inova energy, all about 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, you shall, georgia and the 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. instead which the,
8:37 am
they should 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 costs. yes, 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 economies. climate change in the estate 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 mid term elections. as our next report shows, move, it is guarded safety glove. abandoned haul trucks,
8:38 am
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 attracts 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 because of industry, nor 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, its economy was solidly based on coal. it's a very rural state. no big cds. not such big uni we're cds,
8:39 am
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 health care 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 majesty only we're in the world, you're using some level of watch which are nicole. that's one reason why cold production is actually increasing. in 2021. 92000000 tons of coal were produced up from
8:40 am
70000000 in the year before. and this year's output is expected to be even higher. the rest of the world's want to continue to know that to forge steel. and i've been on 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 mentor 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 mid terms. but if the democrats lose their majority, their green agenda could also be jeopardized. climate change is a highly politicized question. and the majority of republican stone, one area at mid dead climate change, us human mate,
8:41 am
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 opposed 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
8:42 am
windmills. the, as estate didn't do a good shop to create a di, worse if occasion 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 is 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 stay and moving forward in every way. here he's signing a $500000000.00 investment deal with berkshire hathaway energy. the firm plans on developing an industrial park powered with renewable energy. the world done see
8:43 am
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 to ross that they move. 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 back and forth. so he's convinced west virginia is far from seeing the end of coal. the issue will play
8:44 am
a central role in the mid terms. fossil fuels, all that's a big issue that always is every day they won't clean air cleaner. know everything, right? always a big issue with coal has been on a decades long decline. the role of coal 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 maturity they have, they would try to push and support again more to fossil fuel industry. 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 pacifically, skilled workers, not just to maintain
8:45 am
a new power sources, but also to build them. however, 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 in skilled trades. it 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
8:46 am
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, they're also missing on the labor market. germany's large number of older people on now and during retirement, and there were 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
8:47 am
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 makeup una had but fanny, this, one of his 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 and i give them a better price than they'd normally receive. yeah,
8:48 am
yeah. so that's what we're doing. we're trying to cut the market chain out from the farm straight to the consumers, the wouldn't he gap, 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. but i am and when again for many people believed it wasn't a good idea. and again, she told me it wouldn't lead anywhere up and down 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 sceptre anything. and the last act that i am what i went off in the meantime. sandy has also opened his own supermarkets, where he sells the farmers products directly. young man, the man, the man, 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,
8:49 am
i guess i only loan or that the fanny but messiah. my father was always supportive. he always encouraged would ever i did. i am a lanka. but he passed away in 2017, the legal and danny. i need to add in the job last. my now told me that god will never give a problem beyond the capacity of his people and said to myself, neela etiquette basil. as a matter but can you still 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's young man . he wanted to become a business man. oh yeah. but of his well yeah, yeah, yeah, but i tend to has little antipathy. i use i all the companies that i founded are digitally integrated yesterday, but i did, i see them now. can we take advantage of all the information technology that is currently out there in order to be more productive and deficient?
8:50 am
hm. on the model of the product, if beneficiary for the math hang on as how in heat her. my name is raquel helpful, and i had the to ruin. i asked her of farmers group. i'm a fan in the war room condo hang district to land. her sandy train me. uh huh. i'm family. the farmer up is very helpful and 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 with 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 or they can, 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
8:51 am
ah, 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 really make for better bread. see what you think? ah, a sound when it started a movie. and they also moved the micro organisms enjoy, which then produces war flavors. so it's a win win in 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,
8:52 am
and bred samaya. back in the day i wanted to be 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 banging musician or a baker, rightly but, but then i decided to go for bacon. luckily on 30 bucks to been cheating a senior. i'm a 4th generation baker. i grew up here with flour in my veins. 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
8:53 am
festivals with bands, and i have a lot of heavy metal bands as guest lynch bath. we always have one of these flame throwers. i like to flam bay loy recently. i was in a hot air balloon with a band on their meeting voyage. we baked bread and had a tasting session together in the air. that was pretty crazy. the boys coming a bridge to marie requires additional tray on top of being a master baker and you learn new things in addition to your master's training. vince like sensory train a little to describe chase, 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 go,
8:54 am
and whether sound can be used to change the taste in any way. the life of the site is fine. so full of life on the north. i'm just fucking off the market to a special other that's a little child and shown 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 what he age 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,
8:55 am
would there be or as an ingredient to them? plus our sonic sour dough if thought so now a bakery has been specially built in china to make the bread. ah, when to find your knees, do what you really like and then others will like it to believe me live, stay hungry, educate yourself. nobody is too old or too smart to not learn something new. it's important. do better. that doesn't mean you weren't already good, but still keep growing careful though to stay modest. nobody likes to know at all, ultimately do your thing and the only if you are passionate about what i do, okay, they would inspire others. don't try to just copy someone else true to yourself and be authentic and people will see that and respect it. ah mm hm hungry
