tv   Blackout in Germany  Deutsche Welle  September 6, 2023 2:15pm-3:01pm CEST

2:15 pm
of the and that will do it for now up next tackling the energy transition in germany. the clock is ticking as target date, strong year, find out more. induct something coming up after a short break. i michael, look forward to use at the top of the next hour. the flying river is formed by a most of holes. the firing trees or sea stars fires. no good deal and the, the invisible with the effect flows through the sky start september 20th on the w
2:16 pm
the, the power is out on the country. it's a black mountain. like, oh it is. it was, i know the blackouts are serious. we hope they never happened, but they could my boss, the on the, it's a blackout house that you over last year. we have for a long time, more and more people in germany, fee of this, alexander holland, housing has noticed. he sells backup generations. demand has been growing, and not just since the start of the war and ukraine. we had some light. it's like under the state in the past 2 years, this has been increasing steadily. but in the past few months, it's going up shop late on the growth of more than a 100 percent. the demand is definitely the compared to the previous year. it's
2:17 pm
going up by more than 100 percent. and which the a lot of people that are worried about such horace scenarios. so is that the, 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 across section of society, the numbers of 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, but that's quite well, it's really just normal people like us and 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
2:18 pm
can i help you? what would you like to run a button for emergency power for the evening when that's more than what else? i'm going 2 or 3 features. that's all sounds look like. so you want an emergency power supply for the house along. exactly. so for when food in the store, when worst comes to worst, when the lights go out, i can still hear you say those 2 items. i got a bit of blackout anxiety with the log of and he sells locals and thousands of times use. i'd like to be independent. i don't have confidence in the government's energy policies anymore. calling housing has calls 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 letter. the policies are 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
2:19 pm
a jo about if 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 human 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 of yes. how old shaw says a completely different view points? the professor of energy distribution and high voltage technology and called force says relying on renewables alone is role the sun. for example, con, supply electricity. without interruption, he says,
2:20 pm
furnace should supply facial voltage. so p v for sure. what we control must, if he is 0 it 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 wind and p 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, then supplying electricity,
2:21 pm
gets problematic. it's been cities of the florida. how much do you keep this loss? why is that when you've got this renown, don't go flowed to. there's neither p v nor winds generation that's always 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. oh, suppose all the phone calls loud and the times when there's no sun, the wind faces the biggest threat to power generation. netflix not scare tactics, but reality between 20152028 loan. that 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 at a time. that's more than 8 days. claudia came 1st and the energy economist at the
2:22 pm
gym and institute of economic research says the threats is red and manageable to have 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 and energy terminology. we call those like flexibility option is that the system has really high fluctuations here. and it's not analog, but digital, very small, some very flexible, and it works to get an o, a digital smash flexible electric power system. that sounds good, but we have one already. the scripts, 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 alongside the money 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 shoot you and you've
2:23 pm
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 with the transmission system operation and pre owned, they try to keep the network stable. that only works when power generation and consumption always exactly at the same level. otherwise than the worst case, a blackout logic a 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 nicholas
2:24 pm
frequency drops. if renewables like wind and solar energy, you have a lot to network operate and then has to bring conventional power plants online to restore balance. but it is a gale blowing on the coast. then the break frequency control has dangerously in dallas. the operation would have the wind turbine stopped. fluctuation of network frequency must be minimized. otherwise, then that would collapse it in a given the long as it's what's happening before the energy transition. the situations could be timed back to meaning generation was oriented precisely the consumption of the vehicle. the whole thing has become the final complex involved a time since the energy transition. the network situation change is much more frequently. in the meantime, several daily interventions to guarantee network security become almost routine and sort of allies. intervention also means firing up conventional power plants. the more or more of these power produces for the shoot out portions supposed to be
2:25 pm
shut down since quite a longer don't close slash and then perhaps lead to a blackout says yes, it isn't a complete. that's a complex question. that's not so easy to. and so with the cast, the 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 operate um, but of calls will point out developments and undesirable try and become open in space within its way continually speaking with the transmission of system operators and that's a conservative attack. died by the transition system operate is job, has always been able to back up and to have a safety level. and another off to that and said in that respect and the mindset of
2:26 pm
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 skids in there. that's why, by 2030 web building, additional natural gas find help plants to guarantee secure supplies even without coal fired plants. and we'll achieve that because we go to precise audio and talk to the providers. and this with you, how leaning you get fund power plants would have to be built quickly. now, a number of analyses have shown that it is, in fact, between 23 and 43 gigawatts of outputs. that's dozens of new gas fired power plants. so at any rate who's going to build them and what kind of gas will be used to operate them? of the head of the german central association of the energy and also industry and
2:27 pm
form. a green politician says all those problems a solvable biscuit guns, incense, 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 because we know we need these pallets not someone to. so we're working within an investment frameworks that will enable it to him of i'm interest, country of ideas, but nothing really concrete. a proper urgently needed investment framework. the energy transition is, according to the east, the institution between 500000000000 euros and mos in st. trinity in your eyes, and that will have an impact on electricity prices. power will become increasingly expensive. the, even now germany has the highest price for electricity worldwide. while jimmy
2:28 pm
consume is probably around city to euro cents per kilowatt hour. electricity is far cheaper in other countries. the federal orders have the bundles, rationals, holes has critically said, process may not rise. otherwise the energy transition will post a threat to social stability in germany. the left out for them 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 absorbed, talked to and it's important that society isn't of a bad thing, is that a particular product overwhelmed by high electricity prices? the mid sized companies failing on hassle is located in the bad piedmont. they made
2:29 pm
the products needed to the energy transition special couple life, the 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 these. 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
2:30 pm
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 and 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, on 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 assistance because of the energy transition. the list is arms in for the mission that's of all of our future. and i see that 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. steve, you must,
2:31 pm
we have to reset all the machines again and painstakingly clean them and before you know what our costs are in the region of 6 figures, 5 and what so comes x ending, but ice officially, germany occupies of 12 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 didn't even energy transition is really lacking a stringent scientific plan based on physics and electrical engineering. it's become fond too much of a political and ideological playground where things are designed it electrically 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. the economics ministry is aware of this.
2:32 pm
it's been the advance with the reasons protocol happen. this is true, will have additional power consumption is 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 country surface area for wind energy by vent off. so additionally, we'll pull out all the stops with offshore wind in gem, it is close to waters for them. and then we've got lots of solar energy to add a. 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 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
2:33 pm
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 one of the energy that jim 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 only contributors about 1.5 percent to the energy supply in germany.
2:34 pm
despite the so bring figures influence soon times that diversity on hagen that 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, had the biggest chemical complex in the world. around 40000 people work in 2000 buildings in factories. the company produces plastics, fertilizes and the chemical pre koses for other industries. its energy use is momma
2:35 pm
3 on san gas power plants from around the clock switching over the production here to climate neutral electricity. that's barely conceivable because of the demons which was gonna follow 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 feed and run now with fossil fuels and transition that electrify, 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
2:36 pm
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, i don't know 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 this will 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 pots, can not be developed in just a few years. that's really shocking to
2:37 pm
a desk by the anonymous mindset top. of course, we 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 or done bills and approved about then it will what we've done in the tests, 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 that stock on the discussion of green technologies is strongly reminiscent of science fiction electric. yes, i mean monte hope ser, awaken that have a southern romance with technology which are actually far from the physical reality
2:38 pm
by the hydrogen strategy conte 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 these spaces, especially so it will be closed to access the space in the global south park and build wind box and photo voltage v o is done then, but then we'll have to build a hydrogen industry from the ground up and finally, invent completely new types of logistics to get the hydrogen produced at the drum and store front of the product. 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,
2:39 pm
the veterinarian cry, how 11 wants to protect himself. picture of these folding thoughts or voice. 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 all of the eclipse for an emergency is would several 1000 euros to the veterinarian because just a short power outage. you could really cost him money. i can always go, i've got 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
2:40 pm
a monitor on it and it's linked to my computer via a data log. oh and if the veterinary inspectors come and say refrigeration was interrupted, i've lost a few 1000 bureaus and vaccine that can't happen. it doesn't seem proposing all in stuff like the statements for, for the non 5 or 7 years ago. we sold quite a few small generators and within the kind used for hobbies, caravans campaigns, all sorts of things, all outdoor activities, and the liking to the trend. now is heading towards household emergency power supplies and for local because naturally they were afraid of palestine is the really been all stuff and i'm finality the blinds copy up in the air conditioner quits of the heat goes off criminal and stuff like that. little boy, his gym and his biggest power outage since the end of world war 2. he wants to land in 2005 heavy snow took down dozens of high voltage pilots around 250000 households without power for up to 6 days.
2:41 pm
most didn't have hate either the berlin district as clipping equal to full taste of a black house in february 2019. when an excavation 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 backs in the you see research the consequences of a blackout for bullying. this one does cause issues for today's gun. been ended. okay. and how isn't it naturally gets, particularly what 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,
2:42 pm
then things got really stressful because the $23.00 intensive care patients had to be moved on the double and see if parts. yeah. and then so what we needed to call on 23 doctors and specialized in critical care. it was a particularly dicey situation that you just need to watch your now. luckily the fire department was able to move patients quickly to hospitals that still had power . but what happened is on the and had a blackout. and for a long time period to be able to split, tied stick house was, was fortunate and kind of in billing, if you, that'd 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 as if you comment till the end taken to doesn't believe the
2:43 pm
energy transition will cause the blackout. does it was to power plants between fossil fuels done and i know a few 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 either way. accounts ok to full. is this the always to cancel for that all the problems. so i felt basic trouble i, we need all show and on show. and so the electricity because they compliment each other so well. offshore, of course, has to be good vantage that it. so when do you see that it comes close to the face load with one glass problem in that sense? it's a stupid components, having to publish time offshore wind turbines to fly around twice as much electricity as take also pots 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
2:44 pm
pilot isn't being produced where it's needed. the real energy hungry industry is located above own, in southern germany. so new power lines must be built. lots of them. the federal network agency estimates a total of around 14000 kilometers of power line must either be thought new or expanded. otherwise the energy transition will fail. very no, but i'm in the last few years we've been shifting from conventional generations. so gas, coal lens, nuclear into renewable energy is the bottom. and this the, from the can see month because we haven't coal power plants and the ryan land and roof valley. we're located. the can see him is in the future. we'll have wind turbines and as we can see already primarily, and then we'll say we need to cross long stretches to transport the pallet up. and to do that, we need to expand the grid well within the 1st one, thousands of pylons have to be built into and thousands of columbus has
2:45 pm
a power line installed. it's again 21 task. instead of the from a test the months this year, this plan to use 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 only bases in nature, conservation of fluids, but also in terms of residential and environmental protection. i'll be good to way that up 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 and of it is something i'm and which is creepy. towards having $1000.00 is finished. right. the most of the around 3000 kilometers is still in the process of being approved. especially if it be colorado is we just, i mean,
2:46 pm
like for the shift, those actually slightly behind schedule from the front instead of 2025. it'd be 2027 to come by strip under light them. i'm not and it's not just entry on that's delayed building. it was operators have similar troubles funny around 2000 with 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. ready ready the 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 actual unclipped sum up. like
2:47 pm
i 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 do both of them, both my policy and the 15 is a blackout, just as long as i'm oh, perfect. and brenda was born in spot chase and president of the federal agency for the technical relief piece of preparedness x the with the base, the 1st to the next young can also as well most fall. i see that in the coming use that will be just the type is palace spaniel or black out that would dock and not
2:48 pm
just a straight to enable who one but several gym in states or a you many countries and it won't be resolved in a few hours instead of it will unfortunately take a few wait time. so the lights on top of our very little in modern society works without electricity. jim, and you would hardly be prepared for that. the key up as a sewage systems won't work anymore because the thumping stations are electric telephones while i work up to 2 hours and the smith, if the pessimistic version from psychologist is that people will like situations were developed quickly, they couldn't, you wouldn't be able to get money, anyone with that cash con, by anything you've just got to imagine those things and what they mean, no electricity life, we just come to a standstill, stand alone.
2:49 pm
how failure would be a harsher present co cottage as well. if the worst happens, he wants to at least power his refrigerator, the monthly fee of $5.00. if anything was invited, you should definitely think about this because the energy transition is now being felt intensively. even if things turn out differently, you'd definitely feel better about it today. how about fuels? can it run on rape seat oil diseases? hopefully it's 5. can know as or not i makes the oil is to be far out to fix, probably diluted events. it will work out of industry, you know, to find lack of gain, buying, emergency generation for blackouts. is that true can cross this preparation or just panic? the list, even federal government has now calling on businesses to live backup generators in case of possible shortages. this good,
2:50 pm
there are lots of people who are afraid right now. so should on social media, there are many shap picks to say next winter. everything is going to be dock and cold on. i think that it's a loss of confidence by cause. the issue has been reported to death, so i get it pushed in but the activists has less understanding. so the many barriers, the energy transition still faces as after. and how many of you right now, we have fall to few boundaries to even combo just one winter? to little as happened that already 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, attempted escape. there are lots of storage type. so we've got pump storage power
2:51 pm
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 by to a student. they don't exist and it is a benefit. all they really energy storage facilities already next to the shops of pump of coal fired power plant and the louse it's region are a few hopefuls to 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 a will store the surplus screen energy. because the battery allows, it's a germany because storage system. it's a very significant part within the framework of stabilizing the future power supply in germany, when there is no wind. and so the energy that energy security will be guaranteed electricity is supplied to deliver the energy that you have to go through. but the biggest human battery storage system could barely contribute to the country's energy supply. it produces precisely 15 megawatts of outputs. the leak not
2:52 pm
5 power planted shots upon for by comparison pumps out 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 pumped 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 road isn't going to go by that there's some pump storage and how plant is a technology that's also capable of really storage and large masses of energy.
2:53 pm
that's already a decisive characteristic. if it's a lot smaller, 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 to 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 away would not be full. 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
2:54 pm
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 vivian need we see 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, there 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. so electric cost 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 to 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 or with storage batteries, or suddenly with conventional energy supplies, we still feed into the grid, like gas for the gas power plants. 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, top medium must be open, cutting noise started 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 with fulton glow stuff. if you liked of mine, 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 full the climates. 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 for ya. sounds that ballast that just costing us 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 whether 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
