w, use net connelly that imbedded with ukrainian troops in the city associate just inside russia. that's what we have time for. but do stay with us coming out. next rugs looks at the growing pains of a french island, this aiming to become a carbon neutral source destination. on monday keeps mckinnon. watching dw, the living independent, arise to see is full of contrasts. and any policy is a big many problems can only be solved by working together. yes, i think i pretend isn't misleading. what is home? how do we tackle the major issues about time? let's assume that there is a significant risk of human extinction from it nationally. i systems lemme changes

the new frontier, so from our series continues to attempt assessed on the w eaten by french standards. belyeu is a special vacation destination. and now a laboratory of innovation for going carbon neutral, incorporating the wind, sun and the car industry, tourism and individual mobility. here off the coast of brittany, an array of forward thinking individuals are experimenting with sustainable energy generation. but the transition is not all smooth sailing. the one to a matic visual change could be wind farms effecting the seascape made famous by impression is painter. cloud monee, in 1886. the needles and alcohol or i conic. and imagine

having those turbines behind you in the sea level, we are sustainable in a don't cause accidents like internal drop down, or what does that have to do with quoting on it too? well, he's long gone and won't be painting those pictures again or just search products. and their value won't go down just because of a few terabytes. i don't think it said that they say the zip on 3 on is that what we have a magnet innocent, you keep a homepage, but our guests wouldn't like it if there is suddenly wind turbines in the way, once real quick, the islands for sustainable ventures into electron mobility actually began 20 years ago. little wonder that french car makers i know pick the spot to set up a pilot project via it's mobilized subsidiary. a smart energy cycle was installed in the vacation village, customize to the surroundings. let me quote with this is a micro grids based on 4 pillars and for the solar panels convert the sunlight into

electricity. yeah. the solar energy is conserved by 2nd life batteries. discarded units taken from the cars that still have sufficient capacity for stationary storage. often they know he's sort of a solar energy is most, if it's not used in real time, these batteries make it possible to store solar power to be fed into the grid for when it's actually need it to. if i'm at the home where you in the know human, you all know the system also includes prototypes of e cars that can be charged up by directionally really say same with this as a rental. zoe with a modified charge or the suitcase. then it, if you don't have what you understood to naples store to electrical energy and it needs to be cited back into the grid on demand. and also under him don't the value of his o offers on the move on from tony. but as well. there's also

a sophisticated computer program involved. it controls the facilities various components in a way that ensures maximum efficiency when it comes to the solar energy available for the requirements of the picture, risk vacation village. so you can control school to something you can set up a micro grid like this, anywhere, even with major industrial complexes, there are no limits. what we're doing here on value can be replicated at various places around the city. if you see those, you know, i don't think this the micro grants are sound solution for an island covered in cultural heritage. says there's up on me. ok. he probably points out some of the belly is best known landmarks. the subject of several books written by the local historian these it gives you the needle rocks of paul control formed by the sea. in the 6 weeks claude of money spent on bill you, he painted around $40.00 pictures and on $39.00 to be precise. just get up. i see i

be the new golf. i'll say no to the big lighthouse is our mountain bought it. it's 70 meters tall. so which is enough to see the turbines are $180.00 or 200 meters tall. now we don't want that all sounds on of this, but most islanders do accept a micro grid, like my nose, local business man beyond me is among those impressed with the benefits sound. so it sounds like it's an interesting project also because it raises awareness of a question. we should all be asking ourselves. uh, where does my energy come from? does me, is the spokesman of a movement whose adherents are convinced that reducing energy consumption is the most sustainable option out there. most of the cars in his rental fleet and of course electric. but he sees far more scope for change.

which of a we don't protect the planet by driving because we need to restrict our consumption . but there's nothing, especially our energy consumption to the consumers from put in. if we can say in the future, i'll replace the fossil or nuclear energy i've used by consuming the equivalent in sustainable energy to the dentist. when you say that doesn't work through the ivr audited, c panel is through the notes here. do we need to increase the portion of renewables for why the same time? cutting consumption does not say that found on the no show. and what i'm doing great, you have 2nd semester it's. it's an approach that the mayor of the islands biggest community lapel link agrees with thanks to him. the police are now also going electric. most of the vehicles used by the local authorities at the replaced with a varieties so correspond to it's

a better fit for our image and the best and that usually the time that doesn't have to be produced in for default, our efforts are focused on saving energy wherever we can't do that because it the may or previously had the island clinics lead to vehicles turn to electric to they insure at home care for the 5000 residents across and 87 square kilometer area. but that's all old news for the director of the hospital. they don't mass, that video has always been a laboratory for all kinds of innovations to the islands characteristics. mean, we have to be a step ahead most were already making a substantial use of drugs for transferring blood supplies. for example, i see we see i'm to perfect that and we don't use environmentally harmful ship transportation details failed to, to focus on the tourist sector. now also feature sustainable options instead of taking the big energy guzzling diesel ferries,

visitors have the alternative of soft transportation on sale boats the oven valley, the before we talk about bio gas, we're focusing on an energy that's free and is available 70 or 80 percent of the time we finish putting you, we have to reduce our consumption, especially in transportation, was wondering, this is and we can do that simply by using sale power. let's enroll in and see only what a journalist still then villeneuve is also committed to the site to lower energy consumption. she only drives an e car when she has heavy cargo to get from a to b. for her saving energy as a way of life fit, the keyboard is shown to the it's a cultural revolution, assuming more learning to consume less with thoughts, having a poor quality of life very warm. yeah. so the concept that will be indispensable

in the future. i'm so do you mind useful? some are also some highly imaginative ways of saving energy on belyeu. the artist that this workshop create and listening skills to his office and from raw materials that their owners no longer wanted. like i collect all kinds of scrap and trash and use my imagination to turn what i find to do something new from the law. unfortunately, not to imagine now going on the on most really i do my be to the environment by recycling waste. normally it's like streamlined, costly, on 1000000000 contain, which will be the waste is put in containers. taken by boat to the mainland and disposed of milk. and we create a different cycle by which the islands trash is recycled. and we appreciated the shop trained to halt into the late fees. as you can see, the island has a range of different initiatives. fighting for sustainability in their own way.

what they all agree on is the most harmful factor for the island best. and that there was sold to me to having limited resources means we have to be particularly careful with tourism when it comes to lowering consumption. but there's far too much energy being used during the summer to suppress from the community. because of me, i see only to continue to listen to it. this is, you know, it's a hill here in the summer, all the cars and all the people coming to the island and stuff it hold the cheapest. i'm worried to be the farmers and fishermen used to be the backbone, as the economy has been used only to be sure how to plan. everything was turned on its head to the bottom of the vehicle. and now tourism is dictating things to see if it'll be approved, but that's wrong. and then also the to everything's gotten too expensive. let's go to, to push out the we like assume that the

masses of tourist to arrive and the peak vacation period are huge. strain and our resources to wait on the 20 the single. so we're thinking of extending the seasons so that the stream of tourist isn't concentrated on july and august. and this is where this i know project could prove invaluable. the resulting dramatic drop in energy cost means that loss beans can now afford to feed her bungalows. after the summer porchie this is on said we're going to extend our receives and when they say the washroom, but this year will be closing on september 18th, next year. we'll try to stay open a lot longer and the pre task that's good, so tiny, say to, you know, since you all set with the system now up and running, we've seen our energy bill cut in half the year of last season. all just in another sign of progress, you can already tour the islands many sites of comfortable interest with the help of the solar power source from the microgrids tear where history and old traditions

meet modern developments. there are creative ideas galore for ensuring a sustainable future. the sound, but it is a legendary legacy of clothing on a and the needle rocks of full control. and of course that history is used for tourists. i see the main attraction of value as an island. you'll be coming and exciting pilot projects going to we've got it all here. so when the sun wanted to sorta employer, well, i bought, i bought 12, it could become a lovely laboratory. excuse me, kind of experimental event card for energy generation on 1000000000 pull. you've shown danielle jane austin, i'm sure you're on the shoals as it has towards a new age of energy use. the aptly named belly, little, or beautiful island. both to remarkably diverse approach, which with visionary ideas and not short on controversy. but where would we be

energy wise if we didn't have the occasional bit of friction, of the sustainable variety of course the, i just want to pursue what? that's nice. so on 5, how are you going to buy your house? your job, your decision? for your parent, when generations clash for this, i don't want him to be goes out on the ice and next on d, w. time of a sudden i fly out with pleasure. without alcohol, the spanish mediterranean island of my york has issued at them. alcohol is no longer allowed in attendance for you is parties of power,

tourists reacting and the local focus on 60 minutes. on d w, the hi, i'm outside and it's name. hello. i'm being con, i'm of course to union denisia, their love is considered taboo. people here tend to hold deeply traditional views, especially about relationships. we talked a couple of points for their loved or reporter this weekend on dw, to get ready for an exciting, auburn toyota. so little surprised. hi irish. and i'm ready to dive into the hands

of children to you. have you have a one the front porch? we've got the spots and unexpected side to side. the there's a sense of empowerment that you get when you feel your strain within your punches that just lights me. why do you want to box? what do you have to for you want to prove that you're stronger than someone else. why? you know, i don't understand it wouldn't make me feel better. my daughter was in the office setting during the 9 to 5 job, which i know has a steady pay and benefits are 2nd to get

and see. and we'll see.
