tv Blackout in Germany Deutsche Welle September 1, 2023 6:15am-7:01am CEST
6:15 am
around taking a look at whether germany's move to renewables can reliably deliver energy and stability. that's after the break. and there's plenty more news on the information on our website. you don't, you dot com and don't forget the photos on social media or handle is the don't you nice on top of police for me in the team here in berlin. thanks for watching. take care and i'll see you very soon. the questions, categories or thoughts say who the,
6:16 am
the, the power is out on the country. it's a black house. like, oh this, it was a little the blackouts are serious. we hope they never happened, but they could live. i'll see you on the it's a blackout house to you over now to you for a long time. more and more people in germany, fee of this, alexander holland, housing has noticed that the sales, backup generations demand has been growing. and not just since the start of the war and ukraine, we had some light on the fly under the states in the past 2 years. this has been increasing steadily. but in the past few months, it's going up sharply. growth of more than a 100 percent. the demand is definitely the compared to the previous see it's going
6:17 am
off by more than 100 percent defense, which the who are the people that are worried about such horace scenarios. so is that that's preparing for a complete collapse the electricity supply via christine tops into all these all into niema. we've got the dentist, the veterinarian and company. oh no. so a cross section of society, but people who are simply worried this suffering now under the energy transition, that's what i want to be equivalent. cool. and then there are also very special custom is i want to make a secret of it. i don't even want to be ready for any eventuality. that's quite well. it's really just normal. people like us got some of them in the is calling houses. customers spend about $3000.00 euros on average for the generation. that's a lot of money for back up in case of a policy and is the less harling housing can barely keep up with the sales the how
6:18 am
can i help you? what would you like to run a button for your emergency power for the evening when that's more than what else? i'm going 2 or 3 features. that's all central. let's say you wanted an emergency power supply for the house along. exactly. so for when food in the store, when where's comes to worst? when the lights go out, i can still hear you say those 2 items. i got a bit of blackout anxiety longer manage those locals on top of the time. so yes, i'd like to be independent. i don't have confidence in the government's energy policies anymore. calling housing has cools like these all the time. yeah. as a physically. so what else do you like to know police? yes, it's really true. people are afraid that the energy transition will lead to shortages in power supply light of the policies and leading to major, uncertain, painful, given that people want to protect themselves on the edge of henry, mostly starting off obviously. yeah, and taking this economist activist the 43 year old i t specialist as even made
6:19 am
a jo about his passion. he's got his own climate blog. he doesn't see blackouts as a risk in stage. it's all about climate change that he said we want to achieve germany, time it targets, we really need to move and expand renewables right away and advance all the technologies you need. so everything is electric and that we don't use electricity for today. we still ban gas oil and code if i put in making the energy transition a priority. but despite the new government things and not moving fast enough, here you can big into mozart is already it's clearly in the right direction. but if i could make a wish, i'd still say everything twice as possible, twice as much with twice the motivation. which of yes, how old shaw says a completely different view points? the professor of energy distribution and high voltage technology and called post says, relying on renewables alone is roll the sun, for example, comp, supply electricity. without interruption, he says,
6:20 am
furnace should supply social voltage. so p v for sure. what we control must, if he is 0, right? because it's dark during the day in winter, it's mainly dark. that means p b as in a short output of 0 percent with an. a should output means energy generation by civil power plants, which is nearly always available. coal nuclear and gas find power plants above food and hydro electric sources provide a high level of assured output, wind energy, and photovoltaics by contrast, have no assured output. i can't establish a secure supply with that. there are lots of when the days i can use that, but then there are calm days and the question then is always, what do i do? i can build windham p v as long as i want do, but a short output times of 0 percent to one present. just you know, nothing. the scientist says it's clear when there's something known as a doing cool slow so. so no lice or wind,
6:21 am
then supplying electricity gets problematic. it's been since these are believe that the flow of the home with the keep this last lice. but once you've got this renown, don't go flowed to. there's neither p v nor wins generation. that's all you want going to get, and if you take away all the conventional power generation like nuclear link, 90 hard cold, and then there's nothing left for germany to supply itself with power from domestic sources. always suppose all the protocols allowed in the times when there's no sun. the wind faces the biggest threat to power generation. netflix not scare tactics, realities between 20152028 loan. there was 3 faces in which renewable energy supplied less than 20 percent of what it was supposed to. and that for more than 200 hours a time. that's more than 8 days. claudia can face and energy economist at the
6:22 am
gym and is to treat the economic research says the threats is red and manageable. the hot months. we've taken a really close look at the scenario. there are 2 weeks in january when that kind of tough with this little solar and wind energy, and you've got to prepare for that problem in energy terminology. we call those like flexibility options. the system has really high fluctuations here, and it's not analog, but digital and a very small, some very flexible, and it works to send it to an o. a digital smash flexible electric power system. that sounds good, but we have one already escapes. now it doesn't exist yet, you know, we need to invest and it sets up the system quickly. so we'll always have supply securities along side. then we'll have to get to the point you could say, which is if you've decided to jump out of an airplane, and on the way down you all start to discuss how you're going to make the power
6:23 am
shoot you. and you've got the material and ideas and on the weight down you keep telling yourselves up to now it has always been fine and everything is okay. that goes well for a while. the in the control center, the transmission system operation, i'm pre own. they try to keep the network stable, that only woods wind, power, generation, and consumption always exactly the same level. otherwise, in the worst case, a blackout logic. before the energy transition, it was simple, fossil fuels fired power plants always deliver the exact, the amount of energy consumed. today, wind turbines and solar modules provide energy to that makes it more complicated because sometimes there's wind and sunshine. and sometimes there is that it puts
6:24 am
frequency drops for renewables like wind in solar, and that you have a lot and it will cooperate and then has to bring conventional power plants online to restore the balance. but it is a gale blowing on the coast. then the break frequency control has dangerously, is in dallas, the operation would have the wind turbine stopped. fluctuation of network frequency must be minimized. otherwise, the net was collapse for it in a given the long to to it's you wouldn't be follow the energy transition. the situations could be timed back to meaning generation was oriented precisely to consumption of the vehicle. the whole thing has become the final complex involved a time since the energy transition. the network situation changes much more frequently. in the meantime, several daily interventions to guarantee network security become almost routine and sort of analyze the intervention also means following up conventional power plants . the more or more of these power produces for the shoot out portions supposed to
6:25 am
be shut down soon. ready quite a long don't close slash and then perhaps lead to a blackout. says yes, it is a complete that's a complex question. that's not so easy to while. so with just a sentence of college, all bands transmission system operators isn't a guarantee and ensure security of supplying that the task of the ministry of economics within the federal network agency, although it's not up to the transmission system operates um, but of course, well, point out developments and undesirable try and become open via 8 and spin meeting within its way continually speaking with the transmission of system operators. and that's a conservative step done by the transition system. operate is job has always been you back up and then to have a safety level and another off to that and said in that respect and the mindset of
6:26 am
many people in the world network tends to be very security oriented designs. but the former junior economics minister knows that without conventional power plants secure energy supplies could become skips it. that's why, by 2030 web building additional natural gas, 5 health plans to guarantee secure supplies even without coal fired plants. and we'll achieve that because we go to a precise audio and talk to the providers and just with you, how many you get fund power plants would have to be built quickly. now, the number of analyses of showing that it is, in fact, between 23 and 43 gigawatts of outputs. that's dozens of new gas find power plants. so at any rate who's going to build them and what kind of gas will be used to operate them to the head of the german central association of the energy and also industry and form. a green politician says all those problems
6:27 am
a solvable this get guns, entrance even just because they're all very intensive discussions with no way. i'm sol, susan european countries, and there are talks with saudi arabia as all the world is pretty big when it comes to this. there are many supply opens unit times. we know we need these pallets not someone to so we're working within an investment frameworks that will enable it to him of an interest. country of ideas, but nothing really concrete. appropriate urgently needed investment framework. the energy transition is according to the east, the institution between 500000000000 euros and moles in st. trinity in your eyes. and that will have an impact on electricity prices. power will become increasingly expensive. the even now in germany has the highest price for electricity worldwide. while jimmy
6:28 am
consume is pay around city to euro cents per kilowatt hour, electricity is far cheaper in other countries. the federal orders had the blended originals. holes has critically said, process may not rise. otherwise, the energy transition will post a threat to social stability in germany. it left out for them. it is because it says most defects according to law, the supply of electricity must be secure, but it was so affordable and reasonably priced. the development of costs of that puts us 1st in europe, of course, has impact on private households and small and medium sized companies. there's a whole huge cost factors that have to be, don't talk to. and it's important that society isn't of about us because they're trying to have a product overwhelmed by high electricity prices. the mid sized companies failing
6:29 am
on hassle is located in the bad piedmont. they made the products needed to the energy transition special couple last winter bonds, power lines, and electric cars. the electricity intensive processing of the metal in the meantime has left the company facing huge costs, the anti there and costs. and i'm here share of energy costs, and the manufacturing process is very high. and the higher the energy costs rise, the more critical the share becomes. and that's really worrying us. that's because in the ends, that means the products we need to achieve, the energy transition will no longer be able to be made in europe. and especially in germany, then the wind turbines will come from asia as, as in to stabilize spending on energy, many electricity intensive companies. a working with external energy costs manages like view and for each company, bonds, electricity, and gas on the wholesale market. on behalf of mid sized enterprises. he says hi jim
6:30 am
and electricity costs even damaged the climate via of point a who and in a game provides. and these are that to us when we no longer competitive due to high energy prices, then business shifts to asia in china. that means that, well, the leading products made here with minimal emissions, medium of being manufactured in countries with much higher emissions and much greater environmental damage on, on whoever, on that job. but the high cost of the biggest problem. so companies by far, much worse is the power outage is happening more and more frequently has the says it's because of the energy transition. the listings arms in for mission that's of all of our internal, that's the stuff. my biggest concern is that the stability of the energy supply is becoming increasingly worse eyes. there are milli seconds long outages. they're not even recorded in figures, but for us it means a 3 day processing stand still and this is brian tiger speeds. you must,
6:31 am
we have to reset all the machines again and painstakingly clean them and before you know what our costs to in the region of 6 figures, 5 and also comes x ending but ice officially, germany occupies the top position in terms of the reliability of its power supply to the called the process. it doesn't benefit from this because the outages of less than 3 minutes don't show up in the statistics at all. they, they gave an energy transition is really lacking a stringent scientific fund based on physics and electrical engineering that it's become fond too much of a political and ideological playground where things are designed it politically and ideologically. as a consequence of the energy transition, power consumption in germany is going to rise clearly by 2030 electric cars and electricity intensive heat pumps, for example, will contribute to the economics ministry is aware of this.
6:32 am
it's been bad since we've efficient on top of this. it's crude arden will have additional power consumption to put the full costs, say around $50.00 or 60 percent more. then today, this additional electricity will be generated by wind turbines and solar power plants from germany. know what? we're getting everything ready now. so we can get to percent of the countries surface area for wind energy, uh 5 into off. so additionally we'll pull out all the stops with offshore wind in gym and as close to what is for them. and then we've got lots of solar energy to add it. finally, there's cooperation without neighbors going. all the electricity germany needs can be produced in this way. the escape from the ones that same principle. there are many great ideas that could all be implemented in terms of your technical feasibility. i've no reservations, it can be done, but it's simply cost. it's an incredible amount of money and takes a long, long time. it's like, there's not too much time left because it's not just gymnast electricity
6:33 am
consumption that's to become green with an if you use all the energy for industry and consume it should be produced in a fully climate for way in the near future. heavy industry consume is comic is own of the energy that you the consumes today in the form of coal, oil, gas, or gasoline, is to soon be replaced by green electricity. only about 16 percent of what's known as primary energy consumption comes from renewable sources. at the moment, nearly 84 percent of jim niece, energy demand is still consumed in the form of fossil fuels such as oil comb. oh gas. my comparison nearly $30000.00 wind turbines in germany, supply just about 4 percent of the energy that germany needs in total. and 1st of all takes and you can see pieces about 1.5 percent to the energy supply in germany
6:34 am
. despite the so bring figures influence soon times that diversity and hate him good has a solution because primary energy use drop in future p man again is that same primary energy is something we waste of on solve in germany. if we look at a power plant, the steam coming out at the top is the primary energy with an internal combustion engine. i'm 75 percent of the heat goes on, use them out the heat zones. so when we shift will consume fall last primary energy to man. when all energy use to switch to climate friendly electricity, every state will become more efficient. he would be assessed and would fix hoffen, be skeptical at the because chemical complex and the world around $40000.00 people work in 2000 and buildings in factories. the company produces plastics, personalizes and chemical, pre koses for all the ring districts. its energy use is moment 3 on
6:35 am
san gas power plants from around the clock. switching the production here to climate and util electricity. that's barely conceivable. because of the demon zone, which was enough automatically. so you can't lose sight of the scale. today we use around 6 terrel. what hours at the 2 weeks, often site to dispatch about one percent of the country's energy consumption. if we take everything we heat and run now with fossil fuels and transition that electrify it, we'd use 3 times the amount of renewable electricity here. if all the chemical plants in germany were likewise electrified, we'd have energy consumption at around $600.00. carol, what hours meaning just the chemical industry would consume as much electricity as all of germany does today. so just to electrify the chemical industry, the power consumption in germany would have to double and on top of
6:36 am
that, all the other industrial sectors, the whole transportation sector, agriculture and teasing both need clean electricity and fox. and it's the fact that about 2 decades off to the energy transition, ok, even half of this is green, about our school renewable electricity, will only be part of the solution. we have to import renewable energy and hydrogen from other countries and distributed in europe in germany. so we'll need pipelines for that. you can deliver it with trucks and so you have to plan and invest in hydrogen pipelines. we must start to now. so when we need the hydrogen in a few years, will also be able to transport the whole country is to be electrified, unimaginable amounts of green hydrogen will be used. it will be a whole hydrogen economy that today doesn't even exist in parts. can it be developed in just a few years that's really shopping with best buy the mindset top of course we
6:37 am
manage it in mind because we have a different mindset who will be but we can go on planning construction projects on germany with the minds that we've had for the last 30 years and instruct, in other words, this is and still got 21. ok, or question of building a building and forth. so on the test, the mindset is what most characterized are coming in is the time that means within 2 years things will be planned on bills and approved about then it will. what we've done in the task economist, the co pay doesn't see it. the test, the mindset is the key to energy transition success. he says, facing the benefits of the green energy is like a religious stokes and other estimation, the disclose the old. we're not testing a little game in the mission of this stock on the discussion of green technologies is strongly reminiscent of science fiction electorate. yes, i mean, monte hope. so we're waiting that have a certain romance with technology, which are actually far from the physical reality in by the hydrogen strategy conte
6:38 am
work. and because of the surface areas we need to produce so much energy, but they're also the ones we need to produce hydrogen. then after that, we don't have the space itself to switch, so it will be closed to access the space in the global south park and build wind box. and photovoltaic p. o is to have done that. but then we'll have to build a hydrogen industry from the ground up and then finally invent completely new types of logistics to get the hydrogen produced at the drum and start fence of a sudden the alexander holling housing is delivering again. joe, if his customers are ready to bet that the power grids are on the verge of collapse, smith, the less many believe it is possible,
6:39 am
the veterinarian chi how 11 wants to protect himself. picture of these folding as it was sort of like just imagine the following situation. i'm in the operating room, it's the same in the hospital during surgery. they all have an emergency generator . and so i never believed in those before. but if you suddenly find yourself in the dark during surgery, that's not an experience you want to have this thing. of course, it's an additional bit of security for me. i just want to have it easy as my conscience that i've done everything necessary on how this being eclipse. current emergency is with several 1000 euros to the veterinary. and because just a short power outage, you could really cost him money. and as it comes, can always go, i've got the products that need cooling and also vaccines. and there can be any interruption and refrigeration booth a refrigerator can keep stuff cool for maybe 5 hours. i have as a monitor on it,
6:40 am
and it's linked to my computer via a data log now. and if the veterinary inspectors come and say refrigeration was interrupted, i've lost a few 1000 zeros in vaccine center. but that can't happen. it doesn't feel pausing or stuff like statements for from sort of the non 5 or 7 years ago. we sold quite a few small generators on, within the kind used for hobbies, caravans, campaign, all sorts of things, old outdoor activities, and the liking to the trend. now is heading towards household emergency power supplies and for local because naturally they're afraid of palestine is the really been i'll start of the blinds, copy up in the air conditioner quits of the heat goes off and stuff like that and i lost all his gym in his biggest power outage since the end of world war 2. he wants to land in 2005. the snow took down dozens of high voltage pilots. around 250000 households without power for up to 6 days.
6:41 am
most didn't have hate isaac. the berlin district of clipping equal to full taste of a black house in february 2019. when an ex devices of a 2 electric cables on a construction such. suddenly, over lights went house around 31000 households had no electricity for a day at the house. fidget cushion was the fire prevention director of the building and fire department back then the use the research, the consequences of a blackout civilian this one does cause issues. so today's gun been ended. right. and hi, isn't it naturally against, particularly with critical when you've got hospitals that have emergency power supplies on and then suddenly something goes wrong, especially if that's what happened at the hospital and coping x and cubic plus here at the brits, which is now after around 4 hours the emergency generators cut out,
6:42 am
then things got really stressful because the 23 intensive care patients had to be moved on the double and see if by 10 and then we needed to call on 23 doctors specialized and critical care. it was a particularly dicey situation that you just need to let see. oh no. luckily, the fire department was able some of these patients quickly to hospitals, but still had power. but what happened and owners built it and had a blackout. and for a long time period to be able to split, tied stick, house was, was flushed and cut the vin building. if you had to be the most brutal type of chaos imaginable. and believe it for a living where without power for a longer period, then you'd have to evacuate berlin. they probably just have an emergency crew here . police would monitor in the area, but it wouldn't be possible to live safely here anymore. we wouldn't be able to handle a major longer lasting power failure on our own support would have to come from outside and a lot of it. and so i say if you comment until the end higgins doesn't believe the
6:43 am
and if you transition will close the blackout. does it was to power plants between fossil fuels down and then of course, told them it's by that we still have a lot of coal fired power online because we're always cautious on that. in general, germany is one of the most cautious countries imaginable. accounts, imagine someone coming along and saying, okay, let me just jump this one down. it well counts ok for this to the always to cancel for that all the problems. so i thought basic trouble i, we need all show and on show and so to electricity, because by compliment each other so well. offshore, of course, has the big advantage that it's so when do you see that it comes close to the face low to going class problem? in that sense? it's a stupid components having to publish time offshore wind turbines to fly around twice as much electricity as the accounts of pods on land. thousands of them should be built in the north sea and the phone 6 by 2030. the next issue with the energy transition is the power isn't being produced where it's needed. the real energy
6:44 am
hungry industry is located above own, in southern germany. so new power lines must be built. lots of them. the federal net was agency estimates, the total of around 14000 kilometers of power line must either be the new or expanded otherwise, the energy transition will fail the email, but i'm, in the last few years, we've been shifting from conventional generations. so gas colon, to nuclear and to renewable energy is d of them. and this the, from the can see much coal power plants and the ryan land and roof l. a will located the can seem is often in the future who have wind turbines. and as we can see already, primarily in the north save, we need to cross long stretches to transport the pallet. and to do that, we need to expand the grid well within that plus thousands of pylons have to be built in 2 and thousands of columbus has a power line installed. it's
6:45 am
a gas gauge on task. instead of the problem is tesla months. this year this plenty is something else. above the gym and bureaucracy. we have recently continued while getting approval. we certainly added a lot to the project. we faced extremely high demands for impact studies on these, these and major conservation of course, but also in terms of residential and environmental protection. i'll be glad to weigh that off as lots of studies and that takes time sites. the need to expand to create has been known for years. very little was going on for a long time. that's why most of the expansion is still not i'm still a line in the country on a line has a network volume of 4000 kilometers and which is creepy. towards having $1000.00 is finished. right. the most today around 3000 kilometers is still in the process of being approved,
6:46 am
especially the big colorado is we are currently in new york for the shift on those actually slightly behind schedule to come on instead of 2025 or to be 2027 to combust refunded item, i'm not and it's not just an pre owned it's delayed building, it was a parade has had similar trouble. it's funny around 2000 of the 14000 kilometers. they've finished. that's caused dramatic consequences. if there's too much wind on the coast, the power line capacity frequently con, handle it the to that trips, the warning lights in the network control room and pre owned that shows there were dangerous bottlenecks in the great field business that we need to run the network at higher and higher capacity, so we're pushing it closer and closer to it. safety limits for comparison, it's like standing on a train platform and getting closer and closer to the trail and put some up like i
6:47 am
want to be a nobody at all. once a blackout and but if they keep ignoring the physics at some point, it's going to get difficult to them. but no one can say when you have the point to simply, it's becoming more likely because there's been a clear increase in the number of network interventions with the frequency must be massively supported. it's the number of series incidents has also clearly increased . we all hope that it never happens, but the problem ability is very, very high that it actually could and doesn't front of my boss the income, the 50 is a blackout, just as long as i'm oh correct. brenda was buildings 5 cheese and president of the federal agency for technical relief, piece of preparedness x. this is the 1st of us and the next young can also as foremost fall. i see that in the coming use that will be just the type is tell
6:48 am
a fan, the old black out that will dock and not just the straight on unable to but several gym and states or a member countries. and it won't be resolved in a few hours, instead of it will unfortunately take a few wait time. so the light on top opens all a very little in modern society works without for electricity, jim, and he would hardly be prepared for that. the key of a sewage systems. why work anymore? because the thumping stations are electric telephones while i work up to 2 hours and they smell the pessimistic version from psychologist it is that simple world like situations we've developed quickly because you wouldn't be able to get money. anyone with that cash gone by anything. you've just got to imagine those things and what they mean, no electricity life, we just come to a stand still stand alone
6:49 am
power failure would be a harsher present co cottage as well. if the worst happens, he wants to at least power. his refrigerators, the ones that, you know, few 5 did that. somebody should definitely think about this because the energy transition is now being felt intensively. even if things turn out differently, you'll definitely feel better about it today. how about fuels? can it run on rape? see, diabetes is all right and can know as or not i may just the oil is it'd be far out to fix, probably diluted events. it will work at a penetrate, you know, to find and lack of gain buying, emergency generation for blackouts. is that proven crosses, preparation, or just panic? the list, even the federal government is now calling on businesses to find the backup generators in case of possible shortages. this get there are lots of people who are
6:50 am
afraid right now. so should on social media, there are many shap picks to say next winter. everybody's going to be dock and cold on i think that it's a loss of confidence because the issue has been reported to dad. so i get it pushed in the the activist has listened the standing for the many barriers. the energy transition still faces. dr. and how many of you right now, we have far too few batteries to even cover just one winter since we do, little less happened there. currently we're pretty empty handed, long goals. energy storage, enormous batteries, for example, what's are known as pump storage power plants. they can be deployed when renewables does provide enough power and help tools to apply counts. but germany isn't in such bad shape when it comes to energy storage. says energy economist, cloudy, a chemist that escape there are lots of storage types. so we've got pump,
6:51 am
storage, power plants that needs to be expanded. it's important that's done. so we have faster re storage facilities which are now entering the system. more and more storage facility is to assume they don't exist as a business, get all they really energy storage facilities all ready next to the shops, a pump of coal fired power plant and the louse, it's region or a few. hopefully the contain is a full factory modules. the idea is that one day is that too much power is being produced by renewables. what is known as the big back for it will store to sip a screen energy because the battery allows it's a gemini, because storage system. it's a very significant part within the framework of stabilizing the future power supply in germany when there's no wind. and so the energy that energy security will be guaranteed electricity is supplied to deliver energy drive. but the biggest gym and battery storage system could barely contribute to the countries energy supply. it produces precisely 50 megawatts of output,
6:52 am
the leak not 5 power planted shots upon for by comparison pump south 1600 megawatts the pump storage power plant. so then vasta to lean to and can also store energy. and there's plenty available, for example, from renewables for fluids come from the song, the rid of the, to the top base and it this to listen electricity. the water flows from the upper basin via to bind some back into the solid. and that generates energy hold. and 70 percent of the energy deployed to pump the water up can be re gained in this way and pump supplies across the valley isn't going to go by that there's a pump storage and how plant is a technology that's also capable of really storing large masses of energy that's
6:53 am
already a decisive characteristic, quite small. is that the specifics of the plants guarantee that we can switch on and off in no time at all in regards to allowing us to react fos to volatility and fluctuations in degree until 5 o'clock young. to 60 year old turbines need a few minutes to get up to full output. they help very quickly to stabilize the network. for example, if renewables pro fault but the output of who involved so too is also limited a lot to, to generate the 320 megawatts linked with the upper basin with 3000000 cubic meters . so we could theoretically supply electricity to $25000.00 households for a way would not be fulfilled. but in order to provide electricity for a waste, you and you're doing cool, salsa, hundreds of pump storage power plants like who involved to, to will be needed. there's a new around sushi of them in order of gemini. it's
6:54 am
a stop. nothing more. lloyd and endorsement germany today. we've got 40 gigawatt hours of storage capacity with these 40 gigawatts, depending on how the electricity consumption is. we could supply the country with electricity for 30 to 60 minutes, and then we noticed that if a don't close out to last week, then we're not really advancing. so what on these stories, these items v, v c have the development of storage capacity is running automatically? to law, every 2nd tv system that is built into a single family home license already has the storage attached. and that increases quickly. besides its full cost, that will be $15000000.00 electric costs by 2030. and that will have a big storage capacity there. and we've got the challenge that there's something in the house, so the garage and that has to be connected with the whole system. we're working on that on item via is this an acute need for electricity then use the batteries of private electric cars and tap into the solar energy storage of single family homes

. that could actually be just one more challenge at the economics ministry, the hoping that it will work in the future. the aims of the energy transition are and vicious. the expansion of renewables most rapidly multiply. the building of the network must progress hydrogen industry will develop from nothing and don't cool flap and will be overcome with gas fired power plants and storage batteries. but none of this exists over the in any way near sufficient quantity. even when you knows, in the meantime, have sit binding targets for renewables. the visa can, as an architect, the risks have to be compet and consider to make it more risk factors come together . now say for example,

we don't move so quickly and launching renewables by then we'll have problems building the networks are always storage batteries, perhaps the thoughts suddenly with conventional energy supplies, we still feed into the grid like gas for the gas power plant. but if you will, that goes differently than planned. a number of recess coincides. and suddenly we're looking at a worst case scenario is you got to keep that in mind. it's elementary, tall, be the must be element caught in deutschland. with what we're doing at the moment in germany into 3 or 4 years, we won't be able to supply germany anymore under its own steam. and we're hoping the neighbors help us and networks without bringing enormous amounts of power into the country. and hope maybe we'll have a bit more storage capacity when 12 involved us, if you least of mind this includes lunch while you. so there's lots and lots of hope, but what we're doing is leading us down a path that won't actually work. i think he's going to the end of the aims of the energy transition supplied affluent society securely with reasonably priced

renewable energy, while not damaging the environment for the climate. at the same time, a copay says that's an impossible target of defense. why it's important to set the sites on a smaller no longer a growing economy, a post growth economy, i would say the different lifestyle as part of that, even if we, the content lives react sounds that balance, that just cost in those time, money, and results. this falls and takes up space. and beyond that, we've got to extend the usable length of the products around as far as either it's smartphones or bicycles, fabrics, all furniture, and we've got to double if not, play its lines and use many things. community to mind shop to smoke. so let's consumption clearly less mobility and ultimately less affluence. all of that would undoubtedly help 5 climate change. the energy transition can contribute to if it succeeds. right now, there was too many unresolved implementation problems. many of the required steps
