so yeah, adapts itself. and so we ask a few, a stupid questions. we can control our thoughts, which makes us very power. kind of like a superpower. questions about life, the universe? our series, 42. almost every thing this week on dw, the, the power of micro tips is enormous and has catapulted a small island nation into the eye of a geo political storm. now, threats to the world's most important ship maker are turning into a threats for the whole world war and that in

a bits. and these are other topics on this week's edition of made detail. we use business magazine, greener without russian gas, that the warm ukraine accelerate the energy transition. going was results in indonesian start up as fighting plastic and a breath of fresh air, frances and bracing, wind energy mountains. you know, welcome to the show to computer chips. are you big, quit us, but they're only made in a few places and no other place makes more sophisticated chips then tie one is expertise, drives the modern world, because chips are found in computers, cars, phones, and much more. but this dependence also presents a global danger because the island nation is increasingly under threats, and invasion by china can be ruled out and move that would shake the world economy . we took a look at the great power struggle over micro tips. tips like this one containing

cycle, semi conduct to keep the world turning. the world market for semi conductors is what $600000000.00 per year demonte usually out strip supply without them much of today's technology couldn't be built. most semi conductors are produced in one smooth country, taiwan, an island nation of the coast of china. it's only 400 kilometers long time to almost 24000000 people. trying to conduct regular military exercises around taiwan, trying to insists that taiwan is part of china. the prospect of a chinese invasion is 13 5th, i'm on the industrialized nations that's a domestic shortage of stomach. conductors could be on its way to the west of life without tie one semi conductor production and how can supply chain disruptions. therefore we did in the future.

semi conduct cause a pulse and pulse of everyday life aviation communications. traffic management. some of the light technology, high tech wouldn't work without them. might have linked a semi conductors to the oil off the, the 21st central be. and if you then think about how much effort to nations and seats went through to secure for access to boil over the history of the, of the 20th century, we kind of get a sense of where sammy conductors perhaps are taiwan dominates the semi conduct, the markets with the 66 percent. yeah. it's followed by south korea with 17 percent in china with 8 percent. the rest of the world combined produces 9 percent taiwan, semi conductors are produced by 2 main suppliers. the majority come from the company, t s. m. c. followed by

u. m. c. of the smaller companies make up the rest it's a virtual monopoly for the island nation, exacerbating status of disruptions and production. recent yes, i've seen production repeatedly come to a standstill due to chip shortages. for example, in the car industry. the reality is that the monitors that we conduct as worldwide of many different types. again, not just the most advanced chips is growing exponentially because of the templates for development to grow up with the internet of things, increasing computerization of everything. this is a semi conductor from the 1950s containing just 6 transistors. today's chips contains several 1000000000 transistors. the connections and much then at and a half. that diameter is comfortable to the length of the spikes on a to bring the virus. this

poultry eating is about 10, no meters long. so by the sizes we use in chip manufacturing, that's already fairly large. and then a set to reduce dependence on time. and these chips appliance countries in the west of launch programs west billions to build new somebody comes up to factories in the us and the year by the us government on the commission in brussels have signed off from the emissions project which will cover all stages of micro process, the developments and production. the goal is to build that right in semi conduct to industry monthly a, c o of t s m. c, the taiwanese wells market leader is playing a major role in these developments. he's currently building and you send me conduct

to factory in phoenix, arizona. it's a $3500000000.00 us dollars t s m c. we'll say plans to build a new factory in the u most likely in germany. other chip manufacturers like intel infinity and samsung have announced fully in euro investments to set up additional production sites in various industrialized countries. and so to the extent that to them to re shoring takes place over. ready next several years um this is probably going to be led by to some see by its korean competitors. samsung moving over locating new factories in the us. and the us was out of the incentives which i'll provide. ready under the chip, sex for the time being the world will continue to rely on semi conduct as the new infrastructure will take. years to build supply is set to remain tight. the beacon right job applications,

love letters and history. essays, artificial intelligence spots are entering all spears of our lives quickly. the intelligent child thought tool charge the p t, for example, immediately went viral just months after it's launch. that's become the fastest growing consumer app ever for the tech industry. that's cause for celebration. but while it's booming, so it's carbon footprint, or the artificial intelligence to chat g p t has more new daily users than any other wrap. it can be used to complete homework, explain complicated text, and even write poetry. but no one really thinks about what it costs to run or how much energy use is. experts estimate that the computing power of an inquiry, for example of what is artificial intelligence costs around $0.02. and that all

adds up training. the chat box required some 936 megawatt hours of energy that's equal to about 100000 average households in europe use on a daily basis. the energy consumption of online services continues to grow worldwide. some 5000000000 people use smartphones, tablets, laptops and pcs to go online. these internet users spend almost 7 hours a day there. 80 percent of the internet's energy use goes for streaming music and films. depends that's bad for the environment. 3 gigabytes of data are needed to watch an hour's worth of video in h d quality with germany's current energy mix. that's 3.2 kilograms of c o 2 equals to driving your car 20 kilometers. if the internet were a country, it would have the 6th largest energy use and released 2.8 percent of the world c o

. 2 emissions after china, the us, india, russia, and japan. and the prognosis for the next 10 years is that the internet energy needs will grow by 60 percent. partly due to apps, like check g, p t to russia's warren, ukraine was an inflection point for europe, and it's energy policy. gas build surged as did europe's awareness of its energy dependence on russia. many spoke of a crisis, others were quick to point out a big opportunity. the push to move away from oil, coal, and gas, faster than expected, the warrant ukraine as a catalyst for the green energy transition. that was the idea, but did the plan work? we investigated? for years, europe has been hooked on the russian fossil fuels. in 2021,

you got 40 percent of its total gas from russia. with an hop of rush resort like sports went to europe at a steady supply of cold moved from russian mines to europe and power plants. both together. europe both about $100000000000.00 of fossil fuels from russia, the year before, the invasion, that left it prosperity dependent on a war monger. in this school, we were always taught not to put the cold x in the wrong bus get. this has got to be the executive director of the i a, an organization led by the energy ministers of rich countries. so you put all the eggs, what i'm basket and basket was it destroyed. and x that broke within a week of the invasion. his team had put together a 10 point plan to we in europe, off the russian guest. it included actions like buying gas from other countries, keeping nuclear plants from closing and building most solar panels and wind

turbines. 3rd, photos that contained another dutch here option. spending more coal, that noise altogether, these policies permits to hump, the demand for russian gas by the end of 2022. at that time period, i talked with a government leaders in europe. they found down to radicals. but despite some reservations, you took the most of the suggestions on board. the 1st thing europe did was to replace russian fossil fuels with other fossil fuels to you pipe, smoke gas and promote jerry are in no way to vote shipments of liquefied natural gas o n. g from the us in kentucky and it went back to one few it hits want to quit. cold has no future. that was an e, you've talked climate 10 boy of summit to 2021. the rich countries reliance on the gas electric poor ones on the importance of phasing out coat. but with guten cutting gas supplies to europe. and by october 2022 having stopped the moments to

tie lead. countries began to to an old cold tal. it's back on germany pushed ahead with preexisting plans to raise a village for a coal mine. but the problem was russia wasn't the only reason. europe was facing an energy crisis. europe isn't the griffith, it's most extreme drought in decades. but with during drought dry it up, rivets in europe. so hydropower dams generated less electricity, new clips, the most important source of electricity in france. but its fleet had been played by maintenance problems to make much of the west. germany and belgium was shocking that nuclear plants down there, belgium agreed to a 10 year extension in germany a few months but altogether, europe's climate goals mean it would have to move away from coal quickly. and in theory quite a completely by 2030. instead, you've been 7 percent more coal in 2022. then in 2021. that was the 1st big surprise of europe's energy crisis. cole's come back turned out to

be way small. have been predicted. in the final quarter of that. yes. the 26 co tons broke back to the emergency standby when you run an 18 percent capacity. 9 of the one used to to so while europe did find a bit more cold, wind and solar debt, so the biggest growth in 2022. they were what made up from a simple short fault, not cope. so that is the king of power markets around divert and replacing the old king, which we suppress cold. europe didn't just turn to the fossil fuels to replace russian gas. it also sped up its switch to clean energy. in 2022, the laid down most solar panels put up more wind turbines, built more batteries and installed more heat pumps than ever before. the european commission raised its renewable energy target, the 2013 from 40 percent to 45 percent and it made it easier to build the

infrastructure needed to get there. so you're a p and lead it seemed reluctant to pull one. obviously, using less energy the average european building a few to $22.00 degrees celsius. well above what's needed for comes at the i use action time should turning my stamps down. one degree celsius kind of cotton gas demand by 10000000 cubic meters. but only a few governments really invested in public awareness campaigns to make this shift happen. our didn't get it was it. this is a bigger room in a group to push the a got saving and i just have a much harder. we did a good job, but if you're telling me a d, v, do an excellent job. no. the 2 things happened to the 1st is that high gas prices in a sense of southern guarantee with ukraine. many, many people heated less anyway. some countries like germany,

lower the temperature in public buildings from soft citizens to a few times in a system room with a 19 degrees celsius. though it didn't really impulse it. but the biggest help, unexpectedly came from the climate. the winter of 2022, with your 2nd warmest on recollect that many people needed to keep the homes less on top of that industry, scaled back production and he's 25 percent less gas. total demand in the u felt 50000000000 cubic meters in 2022. it's steepest drop in history. from september, electricity demand was unusually low. me very lucky with the device printer. and i, when i talked with the governments i, on the line, this is the luck beat. because for the next winter, v should don't account on the luck and the mart event to again. so how serious is your screen transmission? well,

it could have settled. you don't want to ditch russian oil foster price cab on russian oil entered effect today, drawing the arrow of moscow and adding another kink to global on martin's sanctions . and he started in december 2022. so over the year the, you imported just 16 percent less than it did the year before. lots of countries even subsidized gilford drivers instead of making it easier for people to ditch console by electric one. the 2nd big worry is how big it best on energy. countries like germany, which didn't have any way of receiving shipments approved way more time. it was an ex but saves, needed to secure the gas supplies or the half of your explained ellen g infrastructure will be needed by 2030. either the rest will become stranded assets that the constant runs down, its fossil fuel consumption or your pull each more gas than it shit. on top of that, some of the deals, european governments have made to buy and gas from countries like a tough, have locked them into 15 year contracts. which makes you wonder if they really

learn less than from that river reliance on russia. and the dust sits of vaughan v a in jump for the governments in europe, including germany, to this type of critics in terms of the energy policies. because it was a subject mistake in my view, which it in patricia is not on the for n g a, but also for of 40 and 40 c. and to be on. but altogether putin's invasion of ukraine delta mixed low to the ease energy system. on the one hand, push the e. u to buy more co build infrastructure people got that, pushed it away from its climate targets. even if it was lecturing on the countries on the dangers of fossil fuels. but it also shopped the content into cutting its dependence on the russian fossil fuel. and let's go ahead and give them a short term base to renewables. it's also led to structural changes that move fast forward to screen transition effects, but the right the coal search will be short lived. but the piece to clean energy

was you get big. besides clean energy, our environment also needs clean ocean's rivers and lakes. but those are drowning in plastic and has infiltrated our environment on the beach. for example, some of the sun we feel beneath our feet, it's actually just plastic particles, hundreds, sometimes even thousands of years have to go by before those particles decompose, meaning waste keeps piling up. now in indonesia to start up on some change that it's making, reusing plastic easier. a risk tied up that 10 of us retails have consumer products to store it without approaching 50 charge in simple you know, these products that you need every day and then customers kind of either on there and what that for on our app. my name is yanna la, founder of sick, but i just moved here with back $3000.00 in the park in one second. let me just see if we can make can we can get it started.

we tried a stationary model but quite inconvenient to go somewhere and then you have a very small catchment area. and then we have this push current model where basically it's kind of like an ice cream truck. it's like it's long, you know, use and so on 5. and the issue with that was people really likes it, but then because me ran out of product. and so that's when we basically decided, hey, let's do this postcard $2.00, as a model by which can cover larger area, it's much easier for the driver is so much more advanced in terms of tech. it's much easier to, to start up here. one us because there's a lot of investment now they've got incorporated and you know, it's a re re re sandra funding and there's a great infrastructure and also there's a low but it us um like locked regulations are a little bit less strict and have

a great team now that helps me compliment that because there's so many things i don't understand there are times when hardly any one way or that. right. so we like so close to dying. and business model as may seem to be working out, or it doesn't even look like, like we're like getting product market fits, you know, you may have some really bad decisions. and now you know, you're suffering of consequence for me. and one thing is just like to stay positive after the price that i summarize in the back end. yeah. okay, great. let's try again. when i'm stuffing, i just i forget about everything else. i feel so happy and it also helps me stay a little bit ground to someone's who gets a little bit out of touch with like the real indonesia,

indonesia on. so seconds i was ocean, patrick looked into wise. and so i really would say that here, most the, the, the, the most impactful place to do this only 45 percent of ways ever gets collected in indonesia. you really see like rivers for i think you can see the water anymore, right? it's just the trash. and previously we had foss and not to cut on areas. fair, was 50, some houses on stokes. and the know was just the trash like there was no water. and, you know, you'd also have a 10 2nd. oh, you know what about flooding 6? 0 yeah. floods lost. it wasn't so bad. it was only to like here and you're like, so if the water is to to here, how can you even now you can enter your house. they go to sleep on the roof. last year we save $1800000.00 plastic packages from being produced in a fast. okay. and currently like his destiny drop in the ocean. and if we did serve,

you know, 1000000 indonesians, right, which is 5000000 households and we actually meet them, you know, reduce it if it wouldn't make a difference. and it wouldn't be significant. okay. like the potential, right? like if we practice like it would be huge. the stay focused and staying in there when you're like 111 doctor the other like nothing is working. and i, i think that's, that's really high, but that, that's just the, that the founder slide is an interview with you. i'm not going. he said, oh, what's it like being a founder? and he said, it's like chewing glass ferry into the, the friends of feeling the wind of change. the country has to few electricity sources,

especially environmentally friendly ones. it's currently only generates a quarter of its electricity from renewables, particularly be when it comes to wind energy production. the rest of europe is breezing past friends. but that's set to change. french president, a monument. my call is investing in winning parks. floating ones in particular may not have been been tested. a recent press trip to this construction site displayed what could be one solution to future energy crises floating of show wind energy. the company's developing this part of the project are investing 300000000 euros. in 2023, the wind farm will be towed to a site, 17 kilo because of the coast with am the most is powers limited equal to just a 40 is of a nuclear reactors capacity that's floating also wind energy is

a barrier of hype. unlike existing when you book, it could produce electricity 247, then they will. yeah. on there. for this traditional offshore wind farms can only be constructed in which is up to 50 meters deep. the placing platforms can be installed further away from the coast where the window stronger. these wind farms could be key to reaching top and you trying to to back to what fronds is taking bids to construct 3 commercial flights and also wind farms. and the 10 times the size of the pilot project, this economist agrees floating of a wind energy is promising yet questions and challenges abound. lonia is up in the front, should try to take the lead in this market. it's lagging behind in terms of boston, fixed offshore, wind funds, also due to legal challenges. it's a question of not losing face office good and evil ones, but it's not clear yet. which technology will when the day there were several

technical solutions in the market. and our last just yet is needed to construct the platforms we're finding that still might prove until next one of the method fronds will have to compete with other countries such as port sugar and scotland, which i also, i inflating or feel wind energy. in any case, the project developers are determined to become unimportant, play a in the market here or abroad. that pulse, they proclaim yellow funds as well positioned to allow the bidding for commercial projects is on the way. we're hoping to be awarded these industrial projects in the mediterranean sea, and of course, in a heal new. yeah. but we're also looking at markets such as the us, china and taiwan. as the globally potential for this technology is estimated at $3500.00 gigawatts, which represents as many nuclear reactors. but that won't be any time soon. front

of source commercial flight and also wind farms, wind, produce electricity onto the at least 2030. that's it for this week's edition of major. i'm other xena. thanks for watching and see you soon. the
