rivers created by waterfalls flowing water particles into the air b, trees and sweating out up to 1000 liters of water a day or sea forest fires. elaborating large amounts of moisture to them to get the answer and learn more about this phenomenon. i'd like to find out more about any invisible river that flows through the sky starts march 23rd on d w. ah ah ah, welcome to global 3000 cast or blessing in the us. the fucking industry is booming. to the dismay of environmentalists steely defiance in japan,

opponents of nuclear power, a determined to find alternatives and refuge in pu cat russians are flocking to thailand, while moscow wages wald. it's just over a year since russia began its invasion of ukraine, which violated international law. and the fighting continues unabated. the war 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 a summer 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 are 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 latino school, matthew nike. hi, i'm your neighbor. if i know i've information in spanish and english about air pollution, can i put this up here on a former? what did i give them? i love 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 a lot of jobs. during the energy crisis, the industry is making something of a comeback 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 emissions, the source emissions, we call them here in the community or in the surrounding area. we'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 boy. 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,

a 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. frank king involves drilling deep into the earth, fracturing the rock layers to create cracks, a mixture of water sound and chemicals is injected at high pressure to widen to cracks and released 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 neighborhood, 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 ho block from my grandma's blog, most the everyone all our grandparents and family members who passed away from cancer or some kind of like heart disease. gray wellness is right. um i think that's the worst then it's become a normal. you know, it's become normalized that now we're just waiting for it to happen to us. to carl use 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, ah, i use a sink water to cook. we always as a, we use a, a sort of a 5 gallons in a 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 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 really 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, 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 bio mass 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 energy below so gross, many believe it to be climate friendly, around $414.00 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 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 yahoo on southam. 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.

knew another time, i really thought of that said for our saki brewery after 220 years at all. don't you think those jerks who's to blame for this? a lot of the lead claimed that it was all a 100 percent safe for nobody. mcdonald's vote. fortunately though, the nuclear radiation did not reach eisen today, they still produced the rice wine. here with a lot has changed this company now exists with the colorful fixed and 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 found that 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. mondays are not catching in n. yours. let dunny game bottle. 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 didn't like it even though the transition will be difficult in the short term. we have to deal with it and still continue along this part of the auction and our government should be leading the way. kennedy luxury. 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. magnolia, from brooklyn, yoga, can you, japan is not very self sufficient energy wise. i cook, our dependence on fossil fuels from abroad is very high. good enough. 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 a busty and at the rebellious samurai, the region is known for its spirit of resistance. according to the electricity rebels and icy to day, there is plenty of space here to generate power from renewable sources. but it's roughly right. first of all, they have to find buyers. a nationwide agricultural to what pretend provides 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 eyes 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 he tokyo in her new house. she is focusing on regional supplies. also when it comes to energy and 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. oh god, i want to help encourage people to change things and their everyday lives. i also want to teach that to my children. what on what 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 1st stand. 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 changes important shoes and the rescue will follow up with another unit. whatever the tokyo government plans sarto dreamed that one day alternative electricity will power the entire icy region long lines and traffic jams at the board as fully booked flights. many citizens fled russia since the outbreak of war. there were no exact figures, but estimates suggest around 1000000 of left russia so far, most who fled to neighboring countries such as georgia, armenia, or catholics. dawn with increasing numbers are also arriving in thailand on the

island of to camp. they're both russian vacationers compatriots in exile, holidaymakers posing on the beach into kent. this error flight line 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 to stay 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 accepted. it's not a big deal though. one tourist tells us he exchange reboot b u. s. dollars in moscow. and then here in bars, 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 what we don't know. what's wrong with them. yeah, maybe with some granules of 8. i don't know of this fall. so story of history. so is it 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 knots were, were title one to rest for one holders for both from the wonderful. so you proved schools looper will. wall out and for russians looking to get away from it all. who catch 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 flights resumed. and now they make up a big part of the beach scene. the pandemic related slump and 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've got phone guy, you know, we need to read with. okay. and now they're finally coming back. love. we can't turn them away. we can't afford to tell russians, they're not welcome. thailand, monet's tourists with 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 cats had of torrison sees it was, it's quite intellectual politics and abuses, polosa. i'm local, he, isaac will get this will come. everybody is high for me. if i were alive is are under fire, i would throw something else. but thailand's 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 with the girl. i was say they were doing something here. let me do something here. let me just a moment. i would say so i would say so. hospital i've been talking to remove your hospital in to get the blood red from residence getting increased seriously. yes.

yes. that is it something that you appreciate 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 a platen, as is, 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 insight doing good business are also russian or be reluctant to talk to us. in pattaya further north, we visit a boxing school from young to old taurus 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. how about your parents? was i my parents? yes, they are in russia now. oh yes, and are they not? but people, but they look like, see the vision? i'm only going to have they have like, only propaganda. nikita won't go back. he's here to escape the regime. the army and the war i drafted for the army. yes. oh yes. as, as i know, they came to my registration place over there in 5 am with boots, whom he 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 farming. but climate change driven crop failures, a generating new interest in old crop varieties. and they are often very hearty. an eggplant harvest not far from the tennessean capital. here on his one and a half, hector, as of land sully mazel gooey farms fruit and vegetables. his yields are smaller than they are when he uses imported or genetically modified seats. but he still

prefers local seats mostly as him did the he lay don't look particularly good after comma, sometimes they're small and cricketing in, but they produce better quality fruit or nutrition. they're an tastier humble and better adapted to our climate happening mom, when he avoids artificial fertilizers as well, and preferred to make his own compost. how? linda? sure. you assume that we're trying to produce our own organic fertilizer editor nath helena. first will i use chicken excrement because it has a lot of nitrogen and that'll buyer 3. yes. then we add remnants of fruit and vegetables hunk that are thrown out of market listed as you work with lower. as we finally, we add a bit of hay her, which has a lot of carbon. yeah. ammonia has any a but got burned in the here and highly via and her to been for decades, canisius government bought both hybrid and genetically engineered seeds. they are

meant to produce greater yields. the country still imports around 85 percent of its seeds today. increasing numbers of farmers want to return to using local seats 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, types look have i was only sick of a the work we're doing today focuses on genes. ski. whitaker, as well as which genotypes impact crop quality sectors and whether or not these traits for particular criteria locked specific easy can easy. all we might be able to use them for cross pollination body which would in turn life the lead to improved yields a o more males to help better market. his products, salim, of the gooey goes to phase on a regular basis. they focus on investments and technological developments in

farming this year slogan is sustainable agriculture, which is the growing trend into nuclear as well. we'll see. lemme talk to the farmers, local seeds are known for the unique taste and health benefits. so these are the sees our grandparents were familiar with north showing you that much now was found the best ones and passed them on. it's an inheritance. they've passed on to us young farmers every year they gather the best seats. as sally mother gooey is fortunate to live so close to the capital, he can market his products and lots of different places, including sustainable family events in tunis. organic farmers can sell that goods here. once a week. i want to animate their money. ammonia, we're fighting for independent food production on multiple fronts. on a bunch of india is money. we're trying to get farmers to gather seeds, willow,

a cub i showed with the ot bush at the same time, we're trying to produce more seeds together with our partners. so monumental doctrinaire and you might find out they're also doing our best to educate farmers and show them how they can contact clients directly, that he's with or via social media. and he was a darla, sit them down at acm beach lot, my lobby. the organization hopes that more people will use traditional local seats, alternatives to imported ones. sally mother gooey has started collecting his own like these excellencies, us before my why you but 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, which seat sellers are taking advantage of their hobby, the hub. so my, my, these see should really be available to all farmers money. i mean, i'm a for with blocks of quinn, the best case scenario would be farmers obtaining and reproducing them themselves,

city pos, valid with all by going to show what the strategy has worked well with the ag plants. and now in the farmer hopes it will be just as fruitful with his other crops. and also with an eye on the worsening drought in the country, he says, traditional seeds fair better than imported varieties. and that's old from us that global 3000 disliking. do right to ask, label 3000 at the w dot com or on facebook. see you next time. skies bob blue, thanks for watching from kick off. with
