voiding the ocean floor, cutting edge technology is unlocking the potential of deep sea mining. but this time, a research team will study the possible risks 1st. in order to minimize them. we have an opportunity to get it right before we have some stuff. environmental activists or skeptical after a whole, there are billions to be made. our to park documentary, deep sea greed starts to think on d. w. the decides against climate change is a complicated one. everyone agrees we need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.

but figuring out how to do so open for folks, he says to face, take electric cars, they're a key part of the green or future. but they're bob trees require miss them to be minds itself a controversial practice. more on us in a moment. but 1st a look at what else we have coming up. the power on pitfalls of using biofuel as an energy source. a whole new perspective why investors are best and big on augmentative reality. and high one in the nation, entrepreneur used to stay here to power or come back. i'm k, ferguson. welcome to maids. the transport industry causes almost a 5th of the world, c, o. 2 emissions 2nd only to the energy sector. no wonder then that interest and electric mobility is growing so fast. but here's the catch electric car batteries run on lithium on right now. the world doesn't have an enough of it to me ever

increasing demands. that scarcity has led to a dramatic rise in lithium prices, as well as a growing interest in new mining projects. and our next report will take you to the us state of nevada, where indigenous people are fighting back against plans to transform their homeland into a lift in mind. this is silver peak in nevada, home to the only major operational lease you mine into us, owned and operated by album out a specialty chemical company and global lithium producer. silver peak is a so called brain mind. lithium is drawn and extracted from brian that is in the ground water. the ground water is pumped into a network of 22 pon. spinning 21 square miles hot nevada sun evaporates the water in other liquids over the course of 18 to 24 months. left over lift young boy white goals as they call it. right now,

we're really focused on doubling our production. so, you know, we want to get up to, you know, between upwards of 8000 metric tons and annual production. $8000.00 metric tons per year. soon. sounds like a lot. it is not welcome to the 2nd pass, just about 50 miles from nevada as another and border with oregon sector pass is supposed to be the future side of a mess. opened. pick mine and process facility spending at least $8000.00 acres, port $7300.00 heck capacitors believe to hold the largest lithium deposit in the united states. and to be one of the largest in the world. not only do we need this projects for national security purposes, but we need it for the environment. so we're, we're committed to doing it right. we're committed to working with all the parties,

lithium americans, the company that wants to mind. second pass is invested millions in the project. it has the backing of the federal bureau of land management or b l m. and it's in possession of all necessary state permits to begin mining fillasy. moving forward with preparing for construction, preparing is for us on, on board our work force is going to take about a 1000 people to build this project is a big, big by just take a pass or p model in the language of indigenous by you. it's not always the traditional homeland, but it's also sacred ground for the indigenous nations of the what she show by you . and to show me that creates a bit of a problem for lithium america. and for the bureau of land management. one of the tax proposals for my project is the reno sparks. indian mission. it is head of the

tribes cultural research program. she guides us to a tribal historic preservation that habitat is going to be destroyed for electric vehicles, evans stripe, and at least one other or part of a lawsuit against the b l. m. that aims at stuffing the project to take a pass completely. that the people know that mining doesn't also just bring jobs, but it also brings annihilation to homelands and will, will annihilate indigenous peoples way of life. unless you mind at tech, a pass will have a direct impact on the fort mcdermott, shoshone pa, you tried that is just 35 miles away. the drive just signed a so called benefits agreement with lucy of america. the company will build several community buildings and pay for educational and job training measures. exchange. they do not and will not produce the project despite having significant reservations and problems with it. i made of,

i've always been considered sewage of, of, you know, of mother earth. yeah. you know that this is, this is borrowed, you know, we're borrowing it for the time that we're here. and so there's a special connection to the land. we may not see it today or tomorrow, 510 years on the line. you know what, what suffix gonna be, i don't want to push my elders and their beliefs and then the traditional part of it. then also don't want to ignore my younger generation. that says ok, we want to improve the, the, my lifestyle. we want to be able to take advantage of some of the benefits that are being offered. they're also non indigenous people who have concerns about a few mining aztec, a past due venture. ed bartow, is also a party in the last we, i've enormous concerns about the water table. there's pretty extensive agitation here, navy vegetation that grows up chastise. so if the water drops, this will turn into barren desert. seem america says their mind will draw even less

smarter than what is currently allocated for farming and ranching it. the past company also claims to have refined to at least the mining extraction process using the latest available technology to guarantee minimal environmental impact. but from ex wilbert, a member of the deep green resistance, environmental group, some brand as radical. the idea of mining affect a pass is fundamentally wrong, no matter what the company is telling us that this is going to solve global warming, blowing up a mountain, losing green and blowing up a sacred site isn't right. there's nothing more to check a pass or pc ma is where different world views collide. a court decision about the pending lawsuit against the mining project is expected to be issued

now while the debate litzy in mining rages on in nevada, elsewhere the search for clean energy sources continues. one place you may not have thought of looking is in your organic, been boss is biofuel, as environmentally friendly as it's science. the coal risk has been investigating of the nan appeals not shelves and other leftover food can actually power the device you're watching this on. it's called bio mass energy and left overs aren't the only source would plants even mon, newer can be used to generate electricity or heat. were surrounded by bio mass which creates numerous opportunities. and unlike cool, this source of power can be re grown companies and governments around the world are

ramping up investments. but at the moment, only around 4 percent of agricultural space is used for bio mass energy crops. how much potential does bio mass energy offer? let's start with how our trash becomes treasure. organic material 1st has to be converted into energy. leftover food crump waste orman, newer it's collected from restaurants or homes, and then put into a processing plant to sort out other materials like plastic. the next step, the bio reactor, it's where it bacteria eat up the waste in a so called di jester, which is sealed off from oxygen. this process is called anaerobic digestion. the organic waste is prevented over several weeks at a temperature of about $55.00 degrees celsius. bio gas has produced containing

large quantities of methane, a powerful source for generating electricity, antique, once it's been fed into the gas created. and it can also be used to power natural gas vehicles. the less go for biome, ask, and then be used as compost for farming. for example, taking the whole process circular, bio gas plants like this, exist all over the world. about 20000 in europe alone. estimates state bio messing, could cover up to 40 percent of the use gas demand. but the middle of the century, the us has just $2200.00 in thailand, malaysia and indonesia combined only have about the same bio gas plants produced only a quarter of the c o. 2 emissions the coal plants, emit bio mass. energy has one large advantage over solar and

wind in that it's on demand. so you don't care if the winds blowing in the sun shining. all sounds good so far, but there is a catch biome method. you can leap from these facilities and that has a bigger effect on global warming than c o. 2 bio gas facilities are also only sustainable as long as the waste is used rather than specially growing crops. or what else can we use bio mass for fuel. ready to run cars, trucks or even planes, an innovative flight last year, save 20 metric tons of c. o. 2 emissions jet fuel was mixed with the use cooking oil for the route from paris to montreal. another biofuel is biotech dental implants such as corn or sugarcane, or fermented and distilled bio as an all can replace 10 to 20 percent of the

gasoline used to power a vehicle. then there is bio diesel. it's made by combining animal fast or vegetable oils like rapes, seed, or solely with alcohol. as with capital, the bio diesel has been added to normal diesel fuel biofuels are used at gas stations worldwide. but according to the international energy agency, they only account for 3 percent of transport, fuel demand. the problem with biofuels is that crops have to be specially grown, and that steel spanks from food crops, or even depletes forest and bio diversity. like west palm, while trees and indonesia, sugarcane and brazil, and rate seed in germany. a study in germany found that using biofuels can help save 9200000 tons of the countries annual c o 2 emissions. but 16400000 tons could

be stored if natural vegetation were allowed to return on crump fields. instead. the simplest means of generating bio mass. energy is our most ancient way. burning it like would leads or waste governments around the world are even using it as part of their carbon neutral strategies. and by of mass, we need good old trees. a as one time. over the past decade, the demand for them as an energy source have steadily risen. the west is the biggest ex porter with a market share of 62 percent. they're usually made from what residues like some of the store with chips. usually, because the think tanks and engineers have gathered evidence that shows that natural forest inhabitants in eastern europe and north america are being destroyed

to state the growing appetite form when talents through illegal logging. the policy makers in the u. s. e u and u. k. have classified woody bio mass as renewable, allowing governments to subsidize the production and burning of wood pallets. many countries don't have to report emissions from wood fired power plants, because trees are seen as a renewable resource. producers are just required to reforest areas so that the c o 2 released while burning pellets is reabsorbed. now in the united states. uh, depending on what state you're in, you plan to to for treating for everyone. you cut down the plant to, to, for new or existing or little tiny pine trees for searches

like kelly suggest that the immediate impact of substituting would for coal is an increase in atmospheric c o. 2. a studies found that depending on the type of forest it could take up to 10 years until newly planted trees absorb the same amount of carbon socked up by the ones that were cut down folder trees, store more carbon. so there are certain for us and that are even more critical to climate change than others. unfortunately, these are some of the forest being loud down for bio mass energy. one study suggests that replanted forest with fast growing tree species absorb less c o 2, the natural forest carpet neutrality cannot be achieved by burning wood and big power plants like this one. and the u. k. trees are spending money. they should be spending on true renewables like wind and solar, on this energy source. that's not going to get us where we need to be as the planet

. most forms of biomass look at 1st glance to be better than they are, are burning wood to replace coal is not a solution because even if the wood comes from sustainable forestry or is would waste it's still produced, emissions would waste can however, be digested by bacteria at a bio gas facility and organic products like that for non appeal power and your phone can help manage waste cycles. that does make sense. but today, bio mass energy covers only a small part of our won't line demand. it can work in combination with other renewables, but it's not scalable to be our main energy source, not even in the future. imagine exploring a shipwreck or viewing an apartment. oh, without leaving the comfort of your home. well, according to some tech enthusiast,

all it takes is the right pair of glasses. the global market for or commented on virtual reality is on a major path towards growth. in 2021, it was worth just under 26000000000 euros. a number that's expected to rise almost 10 fold in the next 5 years tech. so it's like mass um microsoft and alphabet are all in on the game, but smaller sr. so it's like big full in southern germany are also hoping to revolutionize the way we see the real world meets the virtual world, the promise of adventure, reality, logical evolution of the internet. it's a huge future market and the bottle dry and for digital giant, one government starts up stands confidently. i'm at the freight. we're going to be big calls rule in southern germany. a

young stocked up with lots of money. and 3 funders with big plans get sold into 2 so called hollow decks. they connect to colleagues in a virtual room is click the green part. that change has info red trackers up there and can recognize the glasses in the room. and then when i move it with the software corrects the picture, it creates the illusion that the other person is right there with me in the same room. it works because the glasses send a signal to the eye that mirrors what's on the screen above. i think we have to try filming through the glasses. the people the prefer. okay. but it's not easy. and the 3 d effect gets lost in the virtual meeting. but the people feel like they're sitting across from each other. yeah he's, he's what i'm turning my head towards him to talk to him without me having to say, hey boss, i'm talking to now. and i was not surely by paying attention and reading body language. so this is,

this is the system we 1st developed in the garage cost to try out different applications. that's why we could build it so cheaply. good. but now we have the funding and we can shrink everything the decline, shrink tyler, us batteries and sensors that locate someone in the room. in short, everything you might find in a smartphone and more packed into a period of lightweight glasses that fit everyone. but how this comes from a lot of things are involved display, there's the display there, and then we have the whole human factor to wait on various measurement as the break . this is a big issue because we're looking through the glass and fighting and being polite to come from things i think called mentioned reality is one of the most complicated things you can build right now. and con, i haven't put a rocket in space yet, but i bet it's easier houses. i thought it will make glasses that everyone will want. the big digital players are investing billions in the bustle for the markets . the future. i need to play as an sunday on players have been at it for

a long time like microsoft and logic. leap is made meant to be onto glasses for business applications. and the big hope is upload. mentioned we onto glasses so far they've always been somebody for next year. so that was a name. there are other companies like and real to that have already built the 1st consumer ready glasses onto the market off market. kind of a, our glasses replace smartphones in the long run. and so with the change of perspective, you can see more content is the same time, which is by the blessing on a qu, us, just like we today, smartphones. i've shown everything i want to save the time, some things that don't interest me, and i'm not going to be in an even think of an issue with these classes. they're not too worried about the international competition and calls route, which is only offered a limited field of vision. entity boils down to a technical problem both then and now they thought they had the problem solved a few times. they threw a lot of money added and they realized afterwards that they still couldn't get the

fields and visions on the form factors that you'll need so that you don't look stupid wearing it. and you get this in verse of feeling. we're doing something completely new. what we're doing, i'm not going to say will the technology worked? the german ministry of education and research thinks it will. they are allocating 26000000 euros to support what they call an individual. we know it's time for a functioning prototype. this tool can help, doesn't come, i don't own that. it's a camera down to record data and compute and avatar for us. it generates an image of the user as they really are for the other people they're communicating with. so going to be honest with you on what we're working on, getting everything into these little glass on this, into the, i'm excited that's what all of the setup is for here to, to make it all disappear afterwards of attacking, especially the i t specialist and engineers who work full time for get so are all

man for the funders? hope that will change soon. the glasses will be launched in 2 to 3 years, and they're expected to conquer, nothing less than the world. i as k, r is expensive, you either do a big or you shouldn't do it at all. small a are doesn't work. so yes, we're going to be a big player. now if you've ever dreamed of stars in your own business, you'll certainly be interested in our next story from indonesia, right after graduating from university, whom i hop sorry, began selling shoes online. business was going well for a while until a tough transition in her personal life caused her fortunes to change. but that didn't stop him from getting right back on her face. and when i say i feel like that, i'm to step up and say the truth,

the officer i read you, it is something you do for see i came straight to my family business that has a conventional traditional store, which is, you know, there. so everything including shoes, i was just wanna do something on my own. my truck independent, be something that i really liked when i was in university, i so huge market already. they like everyone who sort of setting online. so i, well, why not? i start something online interest, you know, so something that i can my name is love. i am the founder of the she local brand name. i'm ozetta. i'm from indonesia and i'm also writing a book called in my own. she's straight after i get married and started business about you later i have

a baby. her name is i'm is that out. by the way, after 7 years, i had a divorce, which came and play huge part of my life because at the moment it was really in the dog and you know, what happened to entrepreneurs when they have personal struggle, everything from both. and that's why um, in 2019, we decided that we have to close. i'm is that i am traveled bankruptcy. from that moment on, i realize that it is crucial for entrepreneurs to be able to read numbers of their own business so that they can make analyzes, according to the facts and data of many of the interaction that happened in my life had been 3 social media i had nothing to tell, reduce the business, so i thought why not just post it?

as it is, surprisingly, i found so many of other entrepreneurs who are not able to even read their own personal financial statement, let alone having financial effects after um, you know, experiencing failures about strongly that having the courage to leave us your self as i call it in your own shoes is very important because that is the only way that you can be the best version of yourself, not. you know what other people expect you to be or to do. and that is the only way that you can give meaningful impact for other people. and so i think is all about it from yourself and that quite to this in your own shoes and firing stuff. and that brings us to the end of this edition of may. thank you so much for watching. remember, you can always re watch the reports from today's show online at c,
