the brain update because this orchestra called the brain continuously 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 super power pushed about life, the universe. our series, 42 years, almost every thing this week on dw, the, the power of micro tips is enormous. it 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 thread 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. the warm ukraine accelerate the energy transition. going with 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 somebody, conductors is what $600000000.00 per year demonte usually out strict supply without them much of today's technology couldn't be built by somebody. 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, says 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 to 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 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 umc, other smaller companies make up the rest it's a virtual monopoly, so the islands nation exacerbating says, 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 on a half. that diameter is comparable to the length of the spikes on a cobra and a virus. this protein 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 with 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 on 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. also plums to build a new factory in the you most likely in germany. other chip manufacturers like intel infinity on, on 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 the next several years. um, this is probably going to be led by to some see by its korean competitor, samsung moving over locating new factories in the us. and that you as a result of the incentives which are provided under the chip, sex for the time being the world will continue to rely on semi conductance. 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. of 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 service is, continues to grow worldwide. some 5000000000 people use smartphones, tablets, laptops and pc is 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 hours 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 at the 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 war, and 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 war and 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 russian sort 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 one basket. this is the beautiful executive director of the i a, an organization led by the energy ministers of rich countries. so you put all the x, you mom, basket and basket, unless 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. their photos are contained another dutch here option. spending more cold and oil. 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 that to radicals. but despite some reservations, you took the most of the suggestions on bought. the 1st thing europe did was to replace russian fossil fuels with other fossil fuels, the pipe smoke gas in from algeria or in norway. it volt shipments of liquefied natural gas o n g from the us and kentucky. and it went back to one few, it hurts, want to quit. cold has no future. that was the, you've talked assignment 10 points to summit to 2020. what? the rich countries reliance on the gas electric poor ones on the importance of

phasing out co. but with pollutant cutting gas supplies to europe and by october 2022 having stopped the most entirely 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, a drawing it up rivets in europe. so hydropower dams generated less electricity. and you clips the most important source of electricity and fronts, but it's fleet had been played by maintenance problems to make much of the west, germany and belgium, with shocking venue clip thumbs 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 use the tool. 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, called europe didn't just turn to the fossil fuels to replace the russian gas. it also sped up it switch to clean energy in 2022. the late demo solar panel 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 of seemed reluctant to pull one. obviously by using less energy, the average european building a few to $22.00 degrees celsius. well above what's needed for comfort. the i use action time should turning my steps 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 didn't fit the bigger room in a. you'd have to push the a got saving and i just have a much harder. we did a good job, but if you've done me, indeed we do an excellent job. no. 2 things happen to or the 1st is that high

gas prices in a sense of southern guarantee with ukraine. many, many people hated less. anyways. some countries like germany, lower the temperature in public buildings from soft citizens to see times and offices to know more than 19 degrees celsius. so it didn't really impulse it. but the biggest help, unexpectedly came from the climate. the winter of 2022 with your 2nd woman's don't recollect that many people needed to keep the homes less on top of that industry. scale production and he's 25 percent less gaps. total demand in the you know, 50000000000 cubic meters and 2022 steepest drop in history from september electricity demand was unusually low. the mean the cubic demise. winter. 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 count 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 mosque out and adding another kink to global all markets sanctions. and he started in december 2022. so over the year the, you import to just 16 percent less than it did the year before. lots of countries, even subsidized fuel to drive it. instead of making it easier for people to ditch cause they'll buy electric one. the 2nd big worry of how big it best on energy countries like germany, which didn't have any way of receiving shipments approved way more time. those are next 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 of the content runs down its fossil fuel consumption, or europe will use more gas and it should on top of that, some of the deals,

european governments have made to buy and gas from countries like a toss 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 the side of critics. in terms of their energy policies. because it was a subject mistake in my view, which it impeach is not on the port n g a, but also for uh, 40 and 40 c. and to be put together 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 as it was lecturing on the countries on the dangers of fossil fuels. but it also shop the continent into cutting its dependence on the russian fossil fuels. and that's to him to give him a short term base to renewables. it's also led to structural changes that move fast

forward this green transition effect. spencer, right, the coal search will be short lived, but the piece to clean energy. let me just get bigger. 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 sand we feel beneath our feet is 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 with some change that it's making, reusing plastic easier. a rest tied up that 10 of us free folks of consumer products to store it without the packaging that the treasure engine pool. you know, these products that you need every day and then customers kind of either on there what that for on our app. my name is yanna and the founder of because i just moved

here with back $3000.00 in the park in one second. let me just see if we can, can, we can get it started. so we tried a stationary model, but quite inconvenient to go somewhere. and then you have a very small catchment area. and then we had this 1st current model where basically it's kind of like an ice cream charge. it's like a 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 point oh, as a model by which can cover larger area, it's much easier for the driver. it's 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, a re re re sandra funding and there's a great infrastructure. and also there's

a little bit less um, like locked regulations are little bit less strict. advert crating 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 a new product market fit. you know, you've made some really bad decisions. and now you know, you're suffering of consequence for me. and one thing i just like to stay positive after the price that i summarize in the back end. yeah. okay, great. let's try again of the when i'm suffering, 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 plastic polluted into wise. and so i really would say that here. so most that the, the, the most impactful place to do this only 45 percent of ways ever gets collected. and underneath that, you really see like rivers for i think you can see the water anymore, right? it's just the trash. and previously we had sauce and not your carbon area where we're supposed to use some houses on stokes. and the know was just trash like there was no water. and you know, you'd also have a 10 2nd. oh, you know what about flooding sec? oh yeah. plus, plus the 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 to get ready to sleep on the roof. last year we save 1800000 plastic packages from being produced in the past. okay.

um and currently that is definitely a drop in the ocean. and if we did have, 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 would be significant. okay, like the potential, right? like if we crack this like it would be huge. the stay focused and staying in there when you're like 111, the doctor, the other like nothing is working. and i, i think that's, that's really hard, 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 a thing of founder? and he said, it's like chewing glass and staring into the, the

friends of feeling the wind of change. the country has too few electricity sources, especially environmentally friendly ones. it currently only generates a quarter of its electricity from renewables, particularly when it comes to wind energy production. the rest of europe is breezing past friends, but that's set to change french president emanuel and my call is investing in winning parks. floating ones in particular may not have been bent. that's 16. that's a reasonable press trip to this construction site displayed. what could be one solution to future energy crises. floating off 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 70 kilometers of the coast. it's powers limited equal to just

a 40 if 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 yell 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 what these when funds could be key to reaching top. and you're trying to see what francis taking bids to construct 3 commercial flights and also wind farms. and the 10 times the size of the pilot project of this economist agrees floating off. so when energy is promising, yet questions and challenges abound. when this up in the front should try to take the lead in this market. it's lacking behind in terms of boston, fixed offshore wind funds, also due to legal challenges. it's

a question of not losing face, so that's good and evil ones, but it's not clear yet which technology will when the day. there are several technical solutions in the market. and allows us to, as needed to construct the platforms we're finding that still might prove ultimate . one of the method fronds, we have to compete with other countries such as portugal and scotlands, which are also i inflating or feel wind energy. in any case, the projects developers are determined to become unimportant, play a in the markets here or broad. so that's the whole se prickly bill of funds as well positioned. the bidding for commercial projects is underway. we're hoping to be awarded these industrial projects in the mediterranean sea and of impersonate hill news. but we're also looking at markets such as the us, china and taiwan. the globe we potential for this technology is estimated at $3500.00 gigawatts,

which represents as many nuclear reactors. but that won't be any time soon. frances, 1st commercial flight and also wind farms won't produce electricity until at least 2030. that's it for this week. the addition of major, i'm other xena. thanks for watching and see you soon. the . the
