6:03 am
has world wide implications, global energy prices have risen by an average of 50 percent, says the world bank, the cost of living is increasing and the poorest of feeling the brunt of expert wealth, hunger is on the rise. again. the fossil fuel industry, on the other hand, is booming oil gas and coal are experiencing a renaissance. europe is importing energy from other countries to reduce dependence on russian gas and oil. new liquefied natural gas terminals being built on many european coasts. in the u. s. a. problematic process is causing controversy. it's freezing cold, but lucy molina is out and about and lost in thought. she plans to hold a talk in her town. she wants to educate her neighbourhood. many of the people here are like her latinos, matthew nike. hi, i'm your neighbor. if i know i have information in spanish and english about air pollution, can i put this up here on a former? what are you with?
6:04 am
the amount of lucy molina is a real fighter and she's taking on the fracking industry in the area around denver, colorado. there are countless fracking sites and refineries. she tells us she wants people to become aware of what a big problem at is for the environment. and for the health of those living here, this community has the love to make that change and become leaders and become that example for, for um, for the rest of the worlds, you know, and, and i, you know, we need to fight back. it's i think, ah, i see hope, some except her posters willingly. the, the brothers are skeptical. it quickly becomes clear to her that it's not all that simple. this neighbor works in the energy industry, lucy, chance with him for over 10 minutes. while we observe from a distance, he talks about his job and his company, the fracking oil and gas industry creates
6:05 am
a lot of jobs with. during the energy crisis, the industry is making something of a come back as a major energy producer all around the area. we see fracking facilities and refineries. but these companies say they are changing their messages. we are cleaner than our image. brian cain is responsible for sustainability at his company . he gives us a rare insight when that flew in his industry allow in the command center. he shows us that a new drilling site is being created with significantly fewer c o 2 emissions. the reason these big generators, they use natural gas instead of diesel. they're not creating a lot of emissions on site like you would if you had dozens of generators, dozens of diesel generators, powering the fleets. you're not creating those emission, the source emissions. we call them here in the community or in the surrounding area
6:06 am
. they've also eliminated all of the diesel truck trips that would be driving day and night to, to bring fuel to diesel generators. you can't make the entire process 100 percent climate friendly, says cain. but you can do so for the condition surrounding it without fracking, he says the u. s. would have a serious energy problem right now. there is no silver bullet. when it comes to energy policy, there is no form of energy. that's completely perfect, right now in our world. we're an oil and gas company that talks about climate change. we're in oil and gas company that talks about the energy transition. and we want to provide reliable, abundant energy. that is, that is produced as cleanly as it can possibly be produced. fracking involves drilling deep into the earth, fracturing the rock layers to create cracks, a mixture of water, sand and chemicals is injected at high pressure to y and the cracks and released
6:07 am
the trapped gas or oil. the advantage is that important energy reserves can be extracted and only half as many c o 2 emissions are produced per kilowatt hour of electricity as when leak night is burn. the downside is that climate damaging methane escapes. a threat to the environment and people living nearby lucy molina think. so we meet up with her in the morning before works. she lives in a small house with her teenage children and dogs. when she tells us about the experiences and illnesses and her neighbourhood, she gets upset. some chemical substances used by the industry have been classified as carcinogenic, but there are no reliable long term studies. lucy still believes there's a connection. i think the whole block from my grandma's block, most the every one,
6:08 am
all our grandparents and family members who passed away from cancer or some kind of like heart disease. grey wellness is right. um i think that's the words. then it's become a normal. you know, it's become normalized that now we're just waiting for it to happen to us. carlie's a truck. they believe that thousands of households are exposed to harmful gas every day. her daughter also struggles with regular complaints, but it's not just the quality of the air. it's also the ground water quality that worries the family the as an a negative impact on our community, especially our drinking water. because we don't, we can't oh, i use a sink water to cook. we always had a, we use a, a sort of big fire guns, little corner when it comes to ground water. the molinas are not alone in many neighboring towns. people complain that millions of leaders of water are no longer
6:09 am
safe to use but the fracking industry denies this. they say sufficient safeguards are in place. the industry is booming and looks forward to a promising future, says the head of liberty, energy, a market leader in the industry. we went from largest importer of oil and natural gas in the world to the 2nd largest exporter of natural gas. and by far, the world's largest producer boil, lowered the cost of energy in the united states. it's re short manufacturing jobs, the petrochemical industry, steel industry and fertilizer industry are coming back to the united states because of our energy cost advantage. unfortunately, over the last year, we been able to export a huge amount of natural gas to europe. so other countries are also benefiting from the fracking come back in the us. lucy molina continues to believe the price is too high because no matter how clean and green fracking companies present themselves, they never really will be. she says,
6:10 am
now she wants to run for city council until then, she'll continue to put her posters in her town in the cold. the fossil fuel sector might be booming right now, but the shift to renewable energy sources is also gaining momentum by 2027 power from wind, solar water and biomass is expected to increase by 2400 gigawatts worldwide. according to the international energy agency, that's equivalent to china's current total power capacity by 2015, 90 percent of electricity production could come from renewables. but the proportion of nuclear g below so great many believe it to be climate friendly. around $440.00 nuclear power plants worldwide are in operation producing just under 10 percent of global energy. more than 100 new reactors are being built or in planning, including in japan, despite the fukushima disaster of 2011 the
6:11 am
mountains of ice o in focus, she may prefecture, hidden behind them as a wild of its own. people here like to take things into their own hands, like yemen. thoughtful. he was a passionate sa k brewer who most of his life, the 72 year old, was the night generation to run the burglary. but then in 2011, the fukushima nuclear disaster happened only a 100 kilometers away from the headquarters of the family business near her. when you, another time, i really thought that fit for our saki brewery after 220 years at all. don't you think those jerks who's to blame for this? so laid claim that it was all a 100 percent safe on over it. but the lucel's vote, fortunately though the nuclear radiation did not reach either
6:12 am
today they still produced the rice wine here, with a lot has changed this company now exists with the colorful fixed in its logo. yeah, i'm on sato is no longer a brewer as his main profession. he's now an energy manager. together with others. he founded the electricity provider, eyes and power. they want to establish their own energy supply based only on renewable energy sources. so 8 rural communities, 20 local companies and private individuals has taught the money for it. they want a regents futures to be free of nuclear power money. so not catching an en yours buddy. game, buffalo, my fossil fuels and nuclear power will only delay development. none. okay. it's not the solution miss. i just obscures the obvious truth. omaha should like it even though the transition will be difficult in the short term. we have to deal with it
6:13 am
and still continue along. this part of the auction on our government should be leading the way, kennedy and others, yelp. there is opposition to nuclear energy. that 12 years after fukushima, only a few are still raising their voices against the energy giants. the government is bringing decommissioned nuclear power plants back on the grid and me, hama in the west. a reactor is supplying electricity after a 10 year shut down. at the ministry of economy, the use of nuclear power is back in favor. they say it's necessary to utilize all energy sources to both protect the climate and secure the energy supply. morgan, you are listening to, can you, can you? japan is not very self sufficient energy wise. i cook, our dependence on fossil fuels from abroad is very high, pretty much either. japan doesn't have much flat land here gas, correct? so there's limited scope for introducing renewable energy sources, or you can feed them all. the causal of iser was once
6:14 am
a busty and at the rebellious samurai, the region as known for its spirit of resistance. according to the electricity rebels and isaac to day, there is plenty of space here to generate power from renewable sources. but it's a rocky road. first of all, they have to find buyers. a nationwide agricultural cooperative provide support as an intermediary. not only a boxes of vegetables delivered to the customers doorsteps, but also contracts for electricity from alternative suppliers, such as icy power. in the small town of kitty carter in i's do a saw me, a water has opted for this. the 36 year old is from here and recently returned home after a long time in tokyo. in her new house, she is focusing on regional supplies. also when it comes to energy, then you're gonna go fortunately, there are still only a few people who switch electricity of i don't ask them what, okay, that makes me anxious because things are moving so slowly or okay,
6:15 am
i want to help encourage people to change things and their everyday lives. i also want to teach that to my children, whether more that didn't work out there for her children. she hopes for a future without the risks of nuclear power. she says many her feel that way, but they don't always trust that alternative suppliers will deliver reliably electricity pioneer. jamante sarto sells energy generated from solar plants and bio mass. he also operates a small hydro electric plant and is planning its 1st wind turbines. it's a lot of effort for the investors and yet just a modest pass that the output is barely enough for 2000 households. so far. the yearly 100000000 don't dare to start and you will never get beyond nuclear power or coal power or the change is important shoes and the rest will follow up with another unit. whatever the tokyo government plans sarto dreamed that one day
6:16 am
alternative electricity will power the entire icy region long lines and traffic jams at the buddha's fully booked flights. many citizens have fled russia since the outbreak of war. there were no exact figures, but estimates suggest around 1000000 have left russia so far, most to fly to neighboring countries, such as georgia, armenia, or kazakhstan. but increasing numbers are also arriving in thailand. on the island of qu, cat, they are both russian vacationers and their compatriots in exile, holiday makers, posing on the beach in pu cat. this error float lajna has just touched down from moscow. one of 8 daily flights from russia. a welcome party await some of the latest incoming passengers with 3 or 400 on each flight. they certainly won't need
6:17 am
their thick coats for the next 2 weeks. it's 30 or even 40 degrees celsius hotter than back home. but they will need cash in the form of tie bart russian credit cards block due to sanctions and roubles are not accept it. it's not a big deal though. one tourist houses whole. he exchange rubers for us dollars in moscow. and then here in bart, conveniently, they can also get a visa on arrival. thailand is not among the countries imposing restrictions on russian citizens. so now that they've made it here, how do they feel? don't know what to wait for people who have some problems with knowing what we don't know. what's wrong with them. yeah, maybe route them granules of 8. i don't know of this fall, so stream of history. so is it
6:18 am
a strange feeling for you being here on a holiday? when you come for your i'm so tired. fathers, rural, so tired of olives not through. retired one to rest. hold is whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. and for russians looking to get away from an old who, cat is an ideal destination for some rest and relaxation. 10 hours flight from moscow, and there in another world. ah, russians have been flocking to pu catch since pandemic travel restrictions east and direct flight resumed. and now they make up a big part of the beach scene. the
6:19 am
pandemic related slumping tourism was felt especially hard in thailand. but now things are picking up again. and they're happy about the surgeon visitors from russia. i got wrong guy, you know, we need to read them. okay. and now they're finally coming back. we can't turn them away. we can't afford to tell russians. they're not welcome. thailand, monet's tourists with the money. but to local was nevertheless, have any reservations about doing business with russian tourists or is the very question, a presumptuous and unfair one. people go on vacation russians include it, and a story that's how pu katz had of torrison sees it was, it's quite international politics. and abuses person i'm local here is that will
6:20 am
get this will come. everybody is high for me. if i were alive, it is under fire. i would kill something else. but thailand, government does not say something else. wishing to remain neutral. it hasn't condemned moscow or imposed sanctions and russian guests. so welcome. as usual, they come as a family, but even though i was say they were doing something here. let me do something here . let me just a normal i would say so i would say so. hospital i've been talking to you also in forget the bud read from regina getting increased that you see seriously. yes. yes it is. it's something that you appreciated. the good you well we actually, we will come abroad and to be honest to you will get one to have a longer stay anyway. all right, i will let you go. not i think that's that's, that's good. as a platen, as is,
6:21 am
is going on the construction beam in pu cat depends largely on russian demand and russian money, especially in the luxury segment. the advertising outside is in russian, and the realtors inside doing good business or also russian, or be it reluctant to talk to us in pattaya, sir, the nor squeeze visit a boxing school from young to old tourist to residence almost all the budding fighters here are russian well, nikita a lawyer from moscow arrived 2 months ago to stay a but part of your family is still in russia. i suppose. oh, about your parents for my parents? yes, they are in russia now. oh yes, and are they notes around? but people, but they look like, see the vision? i'm only going to have that have love only propaganda. nikita won't go back. he's
6:22 am
here to escape the regime, the army and the war. my gosh. yes. oh yes. as, as i know, very came through my registration place. oh, really? yeah. in 5 am. good booth. you could have been in ukraine by now. he says, and perhaps already dead. but now he's made an invigorating new life for himself in thailand. they're all around 400000 known plant species. we don't even consume a 10th of them, but there are countless varieties of thousands of crop species worldwide. however, such diversity is under threat. 75 percent of crop varieties have disappeared in the last century alone. that's largely down to the mono cultures of industrial
6:23 am
farming. but climate change driven crop failures, a generating new interest in old crop varieties. and they are often very hearty an egg plant harvest not far from the tennessean capital. here on his one and a half, hector as of land. sally muzzle gooey farms, fruit and vegetables is yields a smaller than they are when he uses imported or genetically modified seeds. but he still prefers local seats. motion is empty, the heel, they don't look particularly good after comma, sometimes they're small and cricketing. and but they produce better quality fruit. one attrition with an tastier humble and better adapted to our climate than my when he avoids artificial fertilizers as well and preferred to make his own compost.
6:24 am
how in the home? sure you assume that we're trying to produce our own organic fertilizer creditor, mf helena? first will i use chicken excrement? i do because it has a lot of nitrogen. i little by 3. yes. then we add remnants of fruit and vegetables . hunt that are thrown out at market listening. you will have to close it as we finally, we add a bit of hay her, which has a lot of carbon. germany has an ear because born in the here in highly, via and her to been for decades, tennessee, as government bought both hybrid and genetically engineered seeds. they were meant to produce greater yields. the country still imports around 85 percent of it seeds the day. increasing numbers of farmers want to return to using local seas and tennessee, a seat bank has been able to help them. they found ancient seats from to nicea and other countries, which they brought back since 2008. they've collected more than 7700 different si,

6:26 am
farmers every year they gather the best seats. you, sally, mother gooey, is fortunate to live so close to the capital. we can market his products at lots of different places, including sustainable farming events in tunis. organic farmers can sell that goods here once a week. as wanted anymore, they'll manya. ammonia were fighting for independent food production on multiple fronts. on a bunch of india ammonia, we're trying to get farmers to gather seeds, willow, a cup i showed with the ot bush at the same time, we're trying to produce more seeds together with our partners through money. am i know back to natalie home and find out. we're also doing our is to educate farmers and show them how they can contact clients directly. that is a for via social media and actually darla sitting down on acm beach lama lobby. the organization hopes that more people will use traditional local seats,
6:27 am
alternatives to imported ones. sally mother gooey has started collecting his own like these eggplant, seeds, us by from my why you bill wouldn't have grown aware of the important role that local seeds play and then and i'm using that knowledge. no armina, the demand for the original seeds has risen. and the prices have gone up along with it when they're which seed sellers are taking advantage of a hobby, be a hub. so mom, mom, these seed should really be available to all farmers money. i mean them for with blocks that when the best case scenario would be farmers obtaining and reproducing them themselves, any pos, valid, would all by going to shower. the strategy has worked well with the egg plants and now and the farmer hopes it will be just as fruitful with his other crops. and also with an eye on the worsting drought in the country, he says, traditional seeds fair better than imported varieties. and that's old from us at global 3000 dis leaking. do right to ask, label 3000 at d,
