oh, reporter tracks down the arctics. major players with see route begins a dangerous game. people overseas that yeah, we are here. we're patrolling area now, the cards are being re shuffle. has the best headed? russia is quite economic in the arctic. if you see something that looked like james bond, it has to do with starts december 23rd on d, w. a new worn ukraine means europe has to save energy this winter. the 1st thing that comes to mind for me or snugly socks,

shorter showers and candle at evenings. and those are definitely steps in the right direction. but in the future, saving energy will also mean letting artificial intelligence into our homes. more on that later i monkey xena, and these are the other topics in today's episode, have made detail we use business magazine, small chips, big spending, the u. s. as investing billions in a semiconductor production. high demand, little progress, germany needs more wind turbines and big business, small sales, one of the world's biggest wine sellers is ripe for tourism. artificial intelligence or a i as the technology of the future. but the inventions that made it possible aren't all that new. back in 1936, the turing machine already proved that computers can make independent decisions. it was invented by british mathematician alan turing. in 1966,

the world's 1st chap bought eliza emulated a psychotherapist. starting in the 1970 s a, i rapidly improved its ability to make medical diagnoses and in 2011 watson, a computer program. one the quiz showed jeopardy all the same virtual assistance like theory. and alexa moved into our homes and self driving cars showed up in our driveways. now a, i suppose to help us whether the energy crisis, our reporter shows us how that could work. did we'll save up to 50 percent emitter on average. we save 20 percent. i'm, if you can save even 10 percent, that's a great start there saving on energy using artificial intelligence or a i intelligent software that works independently. lands constantly and makes decisions all without any human involvement. this apartment block in berlin is

revolutionizing heating their solar panels on the reef pipes filled with used warm air from the apartments and a system pumping geothermal energy from a 100 meters below the earth surface. 2 it's very sustainable, but also very complex. that's where these 2 developers come in to make sure the whole system works. they've created a program that intelligently coordinates all the heat sources, skipped over them for boyish for hats. this is about predicting consumption van also looking at when i use energy and how i can use it in the best and most efficient way on them. if you'd said, ideally, it's also with renewables, costing 1000 and so 5 that way i can reduce cost is and my carbon footprint in while still having effect of heating the thing being able to take a hot shower in vamos on dish bomb lucian, come the smart system uses weather forecasts to predict energy usage is here venue. behold,

from if anything heating system is currently worked by responding to outside air temperatures. allison but they never predict future temperatures among mazetti i just react in a very static way entirely against r a. i system has the advantage of letting people look into the future accomplish yet. i know that i'll have sonnet 12 noon that i can use to generate heat or electricity, which i can use perhaps when it's not sunny any more, but every one is wanting a shower as they get home from work different, but not as a comp. in frankfurt a i is helping save electricity in a data center. thousands of computers are at risk of a heating here, so they have to be cooled constantly. to do this, water is pumped up to the service from the basement. when it gets too hot, it's pumped up to the reef to cool down, then it's sent back down into the basement to start the process all over again. it's an energy intensive system. was weird, so through this is what we provide now in addition of i, it is an extension of the parameters of

a closed loop system with thought they called it when it is really cold outside in . it's now not just the cooling tower that does less, but the pump, too fog, pompey done, and the subsequent pump also pumped a little less kettle, is it? so we consider this chain of dependencies and we make sure that the systems all coordinate with each other and long of an oxygen between been linked to ai braylin's most important science and technology park is only heated when necessary and completely automatically to do this digital twins of all the buildings were created as data gathered must via foot via launch, boost and is 2 years ago. aside from the end of the year meter readings, we didn't know in detail how much energy the various buildings use day by day on said as one halter or whether there were certain anomalies like spikes peaks at certain times that you don't normally see in an end of the year statement in my yard was and n w agonies via data was instructive. and now specific carriers are only heated

when needed. a continued meter by the fan and each employee could specify for their workplace. when should it be heeded on? when am i on vacation? do i arrive at 6 and leave at 2 p, m, x. all that can be defined individually, so that you do away with static heating at 20 degrees from 8 am to 6 pm walks in. that's an example of one measure that we've implemented as momma dad's visits. thanks to a i, the heating systems have to operate less frequently and energy consumption and is reduced. the developers didn't want to reveal how much the a i software costs. but they did say it would pay for itself after just one year. the world's biggest economic powers are caught up in a war a chip war. winning means controlling one of the world's most critical resources. semiconductors, those are needed around the globe,

whether it's to produce washing machines, toaster smartphones or cars. but so far, microchips are mostly made an ada. 2 thirds of the world semiconductor production is located there. now the u. s. is gearing up to increase its own production. and move that's causing big changes in small american towns. the semiconductor industry is self multiplying, growing at a faster rate than any other sector in the us. and there's a reason for that. this is in the 21st century. technology is the, is perhaps an important up front in the global competition both in terms of economic competition as well as i know in terms of national security. welcome to take about 50 miles north of austin, the capital of the so called lone star state text. taylor has roughly $17000.00 resident about

a year ago. everything change small things to the u. s. government's concerns about not enough semiconductors being produced in america and well things to south korean electronics cooperation, sams taylor's mayor brand waddell met with us for coffee and into a lot of excitement and energy and enthusiasm about samsung. selecting taylor for this very, very important project. the same time, there are some trepidation because it's that fear of the unknown we've, we've never seen anything like this. certainly taylor and how much for many communities in the world have a, it's a night this occurred to them. so it's, it is an exciting time that very important project the mayor is talking about is this. samsung's $17000000000.00 investment on the outskirts of tamar. it's just a mega construction side now, but all this is going to be a gigantic state of the art semiconductor plant. to go online in 2024.

i don't think we any, a secret sauce or magic formula here. they needed lots of available land, and they, they have over 1200 acres a required here in taylor. ah, plenty of available space, pre existing infrastructure, and a few other incentives from the state seal, the deal, thousands of new permanent jobs, new businesses and services will come to the entire region. mm. a bright future for the state of texas, perhaps even for the entire country, all things to an apparent investment frenzy in semiconductor plants in the us. and thanks to the creating helpful incentives to produce semiconductors for america or in short chips act. the chips act is incredibly important for the nation and for

our state. we know that it's important for the companies that are located here over $50000000000.00 allocated certain amount for private companies to be able to compete with asian markets and be able to bring that manufacturing back to the united states and hopefully to texas. there's another high tech hotspot, a chunk of $50000000000.00 in public funding. the other presidents ships ag will find its way not only to texas, but also to phoenix, arizona din taylor is in the process of expanding its ship manufacturing side here . the local chamber of commerce is all smiles about in the, you know, they have been a long time player here in the valley, so it's great to see their expansion about $20000000000.00 worth of expansion. it's incredible. they're growing by leaps and bounds. and then there's arizona's latest

and newest began to move the world's largest micro chip manufacturer, taiwan semiconductors or t s m. c. still a busy construction site. now this will soon be the 1st d s. m. c semiconductor manufacturing plant outside of asia, a $12000000000.00 invest. mm. all this investment and expansion activity with tens of billions of dollars recent be invested by the private sector matched in scale only by possibly expanding through the federal chips program. what is america's goal? it's not of us does not, the idea is not to become an island on to ourselves and become completely archaic, but to have enough activity enough thought research enough production going on in the united states. that fee again become an important element in the global engagement. the white house is the u. s. must secure even more new manufacturing

capabilities and bolster micro chip research and development in america. the frets $52000000000.00 investment in public mining b. i chips is likely just the beginning. we really do want to be on top of the a leading nation in terms of the semiconductor industry in terms of semiconductors are designed production and, and the rest of it. we really do need to step up our game. we need to make continuous investments, both but primarily private, but also public. america's focus on getting back in the game of semiconductor production is as many say just the beginning of renewed u. s. dominance in the field. the pursuit of growth, whether it's growing ship production or growing wealth often drives human behavior . we want to go higher, faster, and further and some areas that's causing exponential growth. it's

a type of growth that has brought us prosperity and health, but it can also pose an existential threat. thus, because as soon as something increases exponentially, it becomes difficult to control the dangers of exponential growth make it all the more important to understand. but our brains aren't equipped well enough to do so until he has no house explains fast, faster, faster still one crisis after the other. everything is out of control. energy prices, inflation, dwindling, resources, food insecurity and global warming. we just stand there stunned and can't believe how fast it's all happening. exponential growth is difficult for our minds to grasp . things are accelerating digitally to create of computers are reading world champions at chess and go every 2 years. their computing power is double. some are

afraid that they'll overpower human beings never before have epidemic spread across the globe. so, alarmingly fast, the increase in coven infections also grew exponentially. but why is exponential growth so hard to understand? let's use of lake, for example, that's being overgrown with water lilies. the amount of water lilies doubles every day. on the 10th day the lake is completely covered on which day was it only half covered. many fail to get the right answer and guess that it was half covered on d 5. when the correct answer is that it was half covered on day 9, because the amount doubles each day, exponential growth is uncommon, our brains are used to and trained for linear growth. they don't check the math, they just approximate by rule of thumb. we have to view exponential growth. however,

soberly and rationally. it's a mathematical formula with a curve that points ever more steeply upward and it's not linear. exponential growth has also brought us wealth and health. always wanting more seems to be written into our dna. but since the 1950s, since humans have been determining the course of world events, the negative consequences have been increasing exponentially to melting glaciers, species extinction, and the waste of resources. in light of all the crises today, it's more important than ever to understand what exponential growth is. as we just saw, there are 2 sides to exponential growth. on the one hand, it's a threat to the environment, but it can also create opportunities. the renewable energy sector, for example, is also growing exponentially around the world. wind energy makes up

a big chunk of that transition. it's essential for countries path to climate neutrality. that's why german businesses want to invest more in it. but even though demand and money are there, germany is still lacking wind turbines. let's investigate why. hulu is old gas is problematic to germany, wants to move completely to renewable energy sources like wind power. but progress is slow. so what's going wrong? ah, is a project manager without a visible project? just an empty field in the north, gemini, state of mecklenburg fulfillment ah, to sanity. we've been planning to win farms here since 2015. and why is nothing happening quite a bit because we only got our 1st permit in january. so now we're updating the plant type to the newer generation. so a period of 7 years for 2 wind turbines. seriously,

this is nick. it's not always like that. but with many projects it does take between 5 and 7 years younger than one. look at the figures from the industry and make it clear that there are problems. it's hard to believe. but investment in wind power is not on the rise in germany. in recent years, in fact, it's become less than half of what it was. is it just not a viable business? one thing is clear, getting a permit for a wind turbine in germany means contacting a host of different authorities. and you have to apply for each wind turbine individually, usually on paper. doesn't it all a 1000 pages long? you have to include static calculations, data on the safety of individual oils and grease is used at the facility. then site maps, noise impact assessments, shadow, flicker impact assessments,

turbulence assessments. they're all needed for a complete application harvest. that's good. the a now is to speed up the application process. the federal government is putting pressure on the states by 2032. they need to set aside 4 times more land for wind parks. meanwhile, other countries are pulling ahead. china is leading the way on wind power, followed by the united states. india is also growing and importance. world wide, wind power is booming. one risk for germany is that international firms will relocate to the big markets. nordics for example, closed it's plant in the north german city of ra, stock. it's rotor blades and now manufactured in india for germany. that means not just a loss of jobs, but also of expertise and resources, food and renew. again, it's a disaster for germany's plans to expand wind power. that was the last rollerblade

plant in germany that we've just shot ourselves in the foot here. now we're dependent on india, brazil, and china. when you look at what expansion plans there are globally, it's clear our targets are not achievable yet even if you made 2 per cent of land in germany available for wind power or where do you get the rotor blades? not here anymore, but if you have to buy them and that's not going to work from years on amazon cove and us matoney service to them. but no energy is still producing in germany. the family run company builds wind turbines from the planning stage through to their completion, and then maintains them afterwards. by tapping into this gap in the market and drawing on government assistance during the pandemic, it's managed to survive. the d i can in the last 3 years, our projects have suffered from the political climate just like the entire industry in germany. but you know that even if a project is held up as it will come eventually,

next year we'll have everything complete, trying, twenties of reform. and that will be good for business. turnover is set to double reaching a 150000000 years. but higher steel prices mean customers will pay more machine, a basic wind turbine in the area of $6.00 megawatts over that would have cost 5000000 last year. we'll now cost more than $6.00 to $6300000.00. doesn't jesse basics as expressed or the come on timing on the bottom line is that germany, if lagging behind with its plans to expand when the government, it's now looking to speed things up. but with higher prices and components more difficult to get, it's clear. the transition to renewables will be a lot more expensive than planned. one of the world's biggest wine sellers looks like an underground city and houses $1500000.00 bottles of wine . the giant labrons is located in the tiny republic of moldova. a few years ago the

tunnels were crowded for festivals. today they're mostly empty. a reporter visited to find out why you can find moldova as precious treasure 70 meters below the earth's surface. victoria beer go shows us the world's largest wine cellar. the way here is through a 50 kilometer tunnel system, the tiny eastern european country hopes that guided tours of these massive winds sellers will attract visitors, but it hasn't been easy. but it might have become a dilemma tourism in moldova is under developed. the last good year for tourism was in 2019 actual my contact bliss that i don't know if it is more of an esque oh, the musicians in the wine cellar, or plain to empty tables, tourists have been staying away. firstly, thanks to the pandemic now, because of russia's invasion of ukraine. so mold of his wine remains on the shelves

. bill gout spent half a year in germany studying marketing. during that time, she learned a lot about german efficiency. oh, good. so now you know, i personally didn't experience any culture show can germany, but i did when i went back to moldova, no longer somewhere. i couldn't find my routes anymore. and i wanted to leave early sticker. and the church says that in other countries, especially in germany, it's easy to separate career and private life or work time and free time. then people work more efficiently or not. we need this kind of efficiency in moldova companies. again for this year i shall be quite chair, caught by needed and model. oh winemaking has a long tradition in the republic of moldova. the mild climate and rich a lu veal soils are ideal. about one 3rd of mold of his work force is employed in

the country's wine industry. like in the village of cook mas, most students here are employed in the vineyards. it's year round work, but pays poorly. if love you thought we get 40 les per hour or around 2 euros, can you imagine that we quit with you my give to go do a shop with 40 les and you'll get a tiny piece of sausage because the pay is so bad. many young people are leaving the country. nadia terrible has also considered working the harvest an e u countries. but she's not confident enough to take the 1st step. i'm a good good i planned on leaving the country because it's hard to make a good life here. in study deputy were flawed by my job here in the vineyard is the

right way group was we do our job and we have work every day. good up soon have nothing to complain about. so grown, it seems that things are going well. but again, this elliot in was for the been the wine industry in moldova, is undergoing a generational change wine connoisseur snare. gina such epa sells local wines internationally with chicago. there's a meeting of private, wind growers and progress off their planning joint advertising and participation and international line fairs. ready with their wines have one international prizes, but their image is lagging behind. the reach to be in the same label like a brand of other countries. and we can do,

but we should work not the one year maybe. then 20 years more work. russia used to be the largest market for mold of and wines. but since moldova has moved closer to the you, moscow has been boycotting mold oven wines, and sales to neighboring ukraine have slumped due to the war. big toria beer go is selling her wine to china and japan. but competition from france and italy is very strong. the future is uncertain while we're living with a new international protectionism. so it's hard to make any prognosis, especially with the war and various crises going on. we need exploit markets and ones that are as diverse as possible. what davis have them? victoria beer go had a difficult start to her career lunch. she's not giving up on her side are the top

quality wines and the most unusual wine cellar in the world. from wine sellers to wind farms and ship worse and spend another packed episode of made dw business magazine. i mother xena. thanks for watching and take care a ah, with

you ah. conflict with rash, vanity, the little stuff supported russia since the start of the war in ukraine. what is the support to be sent to escalate into something more active from that could be are ciocca. you've political advisor to bella lucian,

opposition meta trip long enough to kind of car up. she claims to be the national leader of bella luce, but home. the gentleman is a d. w. we can keep doing what we're doing. we need to become a sustainable as possible, and that's where your green revolution is absolutely necessary. european agriculture is facing major challenges. the future is being determined now. you f reveals the last part in our series. in 75 minutes on d w. a thought they were great here. hello

guys. this is the 77 percent. the platform for africa. you beat issues and share ideas. you know, or this channel, we are not afraid to happen. delicate because population is growing. and young people clearly have the solution. the future belongs to the 77 percent every weekend. and d w a is and is government have been in office for a year now? it's been a tough 12 months for the new german chancellor with the ongoing pandemic inflation . and of course the war in ukraine and all that comes from that in many ways all

actually has transformed the country and we seem to understand ah, this is dw news life from berlin, german authorities, oil and alleged plot to storm parliament and overthrow the government. and the biggest anti terror operation in decades, elise arrest 25, suspected members of a far right peru. germany's top prosecutor says.
