of the uranium in the market is to have the daughter's bed kilogram. now if nigerians, if millions have they have uranium as a market value, then you can ask the government, they have to keep its people and not to allow them to push them to migrate to do your best. same thing can be, but i can be saved by the way about as i go to a rich countries, oregon rich of countries, i think as well as is being stolen, a waiver for me it's, i'm people all about doing is that the following their own went back to you with the solution is not your p employees seems to be gone through the migration. the solution is not the way this works in the middle east and north africa and to have 5th phase with us we gave, which i think i actually have control of the. well, i think you're right, the quality mutual respect. this is the, one of the things that african leaders have told me about these days,

especially with the parties centered, multi part of weld mussa. but you're right, a lot of the former countries, africa are still struggling to come out of the boot of colonialism. you talk about needs. yeah, you talk about for all as you talk about your writing, but let me just let me just play a bit of a blame game for you. and it's probably my last question for you. most of it. but the blame game is this. the europeans are planning the migrants for coming into europe, the migrants, i think many of them are blaming nato and europeans. but that was, as you say, the conquests in some parts of africa and the middle east. some europeans are going to say to the, to, to the min, so go back home. your from africa. that's why you belong, you don't belong in europe, you don't have a passport. you don't have a visa that for why should any migrant have a right to live in europe? it's the plain game devil's advocate move. so what would you say to them? you said what i would say to that is we should only come out of the game which will not give in to the questions imposed by this, or is it can game i think your bins,

they have that come shop and they have the right to preserve the history of the civilization, beverly just, i don't have any problem. i don't want any continents with any country to think of the scope itself in a particular constructive way. i think the left waiting at the scores of not respecting locate, cuts shows include think it would be income shop being the leaders in history for me, it doesn't speak to me. i think that's the notion is to come out of this game and say this a, we have a major problem in africa resulting for many reasons, of course, but we have to that's, we can't control wars and the monopoly of natural resources list sort of the store programs then africans with enough to feed the media to america. great from the 1st place them, they will not be a challenge to, it'll be a couple shot and isn't on history by following those coming influx and boats truly, besides, if it's a b and then i think is what also freed

a sense of respect for themselves. from their own history, the own continents, and then state of the brain drain. and the lady by trade, the us we get is suffering from now because of the migration. i think i can keep it smith, it's women, and do that for it's future. so that's the notion is not to get him to do this course and not widespread in western mainstream media. it's all about future. we're in fact isn't it? it's, it's about mutual respect as well. and this is what the managed way of getting out of the these days. they want to be treated as equals most the able to he coordinator, or the african legacy for i'm joining us live here, one of the international, a real pleasure. thank you very much for joining. thank you. thank you. and thank you for joining us as well here on the international just about 9 33 in the morning here. most of the lots of it you'll use to because when we were the

we are in contract, the land of fire breathing volcanoes. volcanoes vividly capture the imagination and they define our lives much more than you would expect. so what are they capable of and what makes contract as volcanoes stand out, the we all know that the future is going to be one of renewable energy. but what kind of renewable energy, hydro, wind, solar, geothermal, they're all very popular sources of renewable energy that we have at our disposal today. and depending on the natural resources and environment, each country has its own unique energy mix of for, in order to optimize its energy needs. i'm christy, i, today we're going to be analyzing the costs of wind energy. is it worth the investment? and are there any negative consequences to building out these massive wind turbine? the wind

turbines have become a prominent feature of renewable energy landscape worldwide. the energy is created by the wind turning a turbine. they use a series of mechanisms that change the speed of rotation as it leads to a generator. while there's no input cost associated with using windows to create electricity as opposed to coal or natural gas, it is difficult for countries to adopt wind power as a primary source of energy. first off is expensive to buy or manufacturer, wind mills, and turbines. more over, there are logistical difficulties, such as changing winds, directions, or even inconsistency to the setup. costs can vary depending on the location and the capacity of the farm. for commercial winds turbine, each turbine costs between $2.00 to $4000000.00. and this investment is expected to be recouped over a long period of time. on average,

it costs around $1300000.00 per megawatt. to construct a wind farm. most commercial winds turbines have a capacity of $2.00 to $3.00 megawatts, but offshore turbines can be as large as $16.00 to $18.00 megawatts. to put it into context, a single megawatt is enough to power a 1000 homes for a month. once built, the maintenance cost is an ongoing expense at around $42.00 to $48000.00 per year. and this number klein's as a turbine age is given the wear and tear these turbines put up with every day. the blade tip regularly changes its speed from a $120.00 to a 180 miles per hour. china, the us and germany are among the top producers of wind energy. they have invested significantly and harnessing the power of the wind to meet their energy needs. china ranks 1st in the world for wind energy, with

a total of annual electricity output at over $650.00 terrel. what hours the us is 2nd at $379.00 tera! what hours and finally, we have germany at a $115.00, tara. what hours and as you can see, there's quite a significant gap between all 3 of these leaders in the space. in 2021, nearly 34 percent of global renewable energy investment was directed towards when projects. and this highlights the growing importance of wind and our energy mix. when energy has become more affordable due to technological advancements with onshore wind power being one of the most cost competitive sources of electricity generations, in many regions, the wind turbines can operate with high availability, generating electricity up to 80 percent of the time given a stable energy supply, but because of the causing movement of the wind turbines, these tend to break down over the course of 20 years and need to be replaced often, even if they are well maintain this compared to solar panels that are static and

can last up to 25 to 30 years, offshore, wind farms are now of growing interest as these farms generate electricity from the wind blowing across the sea. and they are considered more efficient than onshore wind farms. more consistent. unlike the physical interference that you have on land, the leaders of offshore wind include china as the u. k, and germany. so it's explain more about the cost of wind energy. we're enjoyed by professor trevor elector, officer of the wind energy engineering. so trevor, how has a cost of setting up and maintaining wind farms involved over the years? and what steps can be taken to further improve cost effectiveness? festival of the cost of wind turbines have been dropping steadily. and the last 20 years i've talked to at least 50 percent, at least 50 percent. so when did you know,

is comfortable to say anything up a new power station so that it's level pegging with the fossil fuel industry. now wind energy is often praised for it's positive impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. could you elaborate on how wind power can play a crucial role in mitigating climate change? the most important thing is that wind turbines do not need feel the post asians need co need gas. that is, it's great advantage. and that is one of the reasons why it's cost effective. it does not, you don't need to buy, feel to run it. the feel is free. it comes from the sun. there's only one form of energy coming into the service and that is from the sun. and the wind energy is actually a secondary effect, but some parts of the world have

a lot more with the notice. so therefore, it is very good in some places, not to notice. the united kingdom is particularly good and we, the u. k is one of the leaders in, in the, of the window energy. just for example, one day, last year, 70 percent of all the electricity made in england was from wind turbines. on average, it's about 27 percent of all electricity made in england. this is um, it is when doing it too well wide wind energy is already making about 70 percent of the electricity in the world. another reason why the u. k. so fortunate is the to it has a very shallow coast line and you can erect offshore wind turbines of

show wind turbines are a lot more effective simply because you have lands breezes during the day. and if you have not please is at night. so the wind is blowing, day and night and as wind turbines have grown in size and capacity, how is their efficiency improved and what innovations do you see shaping the future of when the energy efficiency of the wind turbine is, is dependent on the, the area of the, the wind to but the areas accepting the wind and as this, this is equal to pile squared is you know, that they, the larger the radius, the greater will be, the amount of energy that you can collect as it goes up i squared, which means that to the to wind turbines have been getting told her and told her in bigger and bigger. nowadays, you can buy the wind turbines with a radius of

a 130 meters. now that's a diameter of 260 meters. so these wind turbines, a 300 meters above the lando above the sea. one interesting thing is that they, these 2 button uh, 2 by the so very large that you cannot make them off show because you could put them in the trailer and then try and turn the corner when you get to it depends on the road. they just to, to very low god. yeah, i mean the radius is a 150, so the diameter is 260 meters. so the answer is, uh, they made like an oil rigs. they made um, offshore, on the, on the show line. now of all the renewable energy sources out there, thermo hydro solar and others where the wind rank sure the country's allocating

more or less money towards wind. we, jody, well, should, the wind turbine is not. number 2 in the, in the, in the hierarchy, the most effective today is how do i like to just to give you an idea, hydro electric to produce a 17 percent to the wells. the electricity wind turbine 7 to 8 percent. so and the cell is 84 to 5 percent. and so the wind turbine is a very effective way of making electricity and it is increasing daily. and china is particularly good on this. united kingdom is, well, usa is catching up a, the china is doing and creatively as well on wind turbines. but it's such a huge country and it needs so much electricity, that even if all the they are swamped being the,

the amount of turbines being produced worldwide, it doesn't make a huge difference to the total energy needs because the needs of so very, very large thank you so much professor trevor lecture for all your time today. but when we come back, we will explain what are the obstacles when energy faces to produce the most energy . so don't go way. the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse really once a better wills,

and is it just as a chosen for you. fractured images presented is 1st. can you see through their illusion going underground? can the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people? a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except we're so shorter is that conflict with the 1st law shows. alignment of the patient, we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to create a trust rather than fit the various things with the artificial intelligence we have summoning the theme and the robot must protect his phone. existence was alexis

the release of the russian states. never as tired as i'm one of the most sense community best. most all sense and up the must be the one else holes. question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state on russia's coding and split the ortiz full neck, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the fitness center. for the question, did you say steven twist, which is the,

the well, when energy bring significant benefits, it is essential to examine the challenges it poses. now one of the big factors is that it is completely dependent in the winds of mother nature as to how much when this forecast it for the day. if there is no wind at all, then all these turbine sit idle. windows never constant and overall averages will have turbines, always spinning at 30 to 40 percent. they're rated capacity for onshore. wind power also won't work everywhere. you need areas where the wind blow strong and steady in order to make the investment worthwhile. even with ideal locations in coastal areas, hills and open fields, it doesn't blow all the time. and this causes intermittency when energy generation stops or slows down due to the lack of wind. now there are concerns revolving

around the potential environmental impacts. earlier this year, 6 whales washed ashore and areas being prepared for large scale offshore wind farms . and while there is no specific evidence that the noise resulting from the offshore wind sights could potentially caused some mortality of whales, there is a strong correlation. and recent studies have shown that certain marine species, such as whales and seals, might be affected by wind turbines, under water noise. a study by oceana raised the concerns about the distortion of marine species, eco location ability due to the presence of these offshore wind farms. however, pro opponents of wind projects continue to claim that correlation does not imply causation and insist that there are other dangerous to wells that are more of a life threatening risk such as vessel strikes and entanglements and fishing gear. additionally, noise pollution from wind turbines have spark debates and local communities. the turbine, leis make

a lot of noise as they turn and birds and bats can be kindred killed or injured to . despite these concerns, when the energy is the 2nd most widely use renewable energy source, with global installed wind power capacity exceeding 263 and gigawatts. and this account for approximately 24 percent of the world's total renewable energy generation capacity right behind hydro power. so for this and we're let spring and todd bubble, horwitz, ceo of bubble trading. now by law, if there is evidence that when energy has its faults, why do companies keep on pushing wind energy? well, i think it's about money, right? it's, it's not, it's got to do with whether or not it works or not because it does not work very well, has been proven. then it's too expensive. it doesn't work very well. and we're really not equipped to handle it either way. but it's again, it's about the patch roads, it's about money. it's about how much these companies can make by being in bed with

the government trying to create these on the climate change products. and what are the primary challenges associated with wind energy that may hinder it's widespread adoption as compared to say, other renewable energy sources? well, i mean, there's really no exposure, revise on wheels that they can talk about all they want. but with the current infrastructure, you cannot produce enough energy to have those turbines that you need to spend the beginning of the work. you know what we, we got one major problem in this country for as long as i'm alive. and that is that every presidential candidate is either i promised to fix the infrastructure. none have done so. yeah. so what we have is a problem and you have these, these have hardened solutions that are going to work because we cannot personally get but where are you, how many wind turbines can you put up there? there's many wind farms out there that do not allow for the production of the energy that is needed. you know, we use a lot of other do this country and we have not been able to the master or,

or satisfy the need by using when, nor solar yet. now why do you say that the government won't invest in this infrastructure when they in fact have poured millions of dollars into subsidies. while the mother is money and those who are producing and are getting, you know, lots of tax credits and lots of tax breaks, which again, is the same as money, right? you know, it just says if you put something in that you're, the government is giving you a tax credit, you're getting it directly off your returns, you're actually are getting paid what, no matter how they want to focus it. and that's, that's the bigger problem, right? we, we have too many projects that couldn't work and we have no plan on how to use of know how to get there. and now many critics argue that winds intermittency compose reliability issues for the power grid. how our company is addressing this concern and ensuring consistent energy supply. well, that goes back to the bottom of it, right? you still need the energy to have those turbines, this then into work,

right? they don't just work purely on air only. and of course, you have a power rate that isn't capable of handling every day circumstances. i mean, we have, we have, you have blackouts when weather gets to watch certain parts of the world when you buy a new joshua data charged at night. because of course, the power root canal and what, because we, the, the country is not done a good job of focusing on fixing. the problem is that this goes back to, you know, fixing the lobbies and things and katrina, right. they didn't want to fix up there to cheap. you guys are busy stealing the money instead of putting it there weren't supposed to be. and the 1st thing you have to do before any of these progress in our work is fixing the structure of this country. but of course, if you go back to the colonial pipeline head and present, binds the sides of private companies that are probably, well, is there a problem? because we're very accessible to be hacked by just about anybody right? now. some studies have suggested that when energy projects might not be as

economically viable as proponents claim. so what laws and wind are they pointing out in this initial applies, you use windows not create because you're ginger pending. we know the sounds on every day and there isn't a window every day. there is not enough to guarantee. i'm not, i'm not fuel. you can even get a guarantee and not using solar power, let alone wind power. and that's the problem. and you see when from where there's thousands of windmills spinning around, there still can't dry enough enough power to power the right. is there any validation to the wind turbine effect, the marine life and farming wales seals and see birds? i don't know about uh what they do, the environment specifically. i can't accommodate cuz i don't know the answer. i would suspect not other than birds that might, that might slice probably get caught up and because you know, it was solar, the birds don't get slaughtered and the solar panel. so i would assume similar problems would be in when,

but i don't know that that would be any major factor. somebody would stop me from saying that would be something we would do. and now why, what consumers care about where the energy comes from as long as you have energy and electricity, is it only because of climate change? well, i mean, again we, we, we are not, we are not position to replace the fossil fuel. right? and when you go to the globe and you look around china and india are never gonna stop on the call and they represent 40 percent of the work they are going to do. in fact, china is dropped any, any projection of the climate recently. and of course is nothing we do is going to change. 140 percent of the globe is doing so we can talk the nonsense and we can talk the climate change all we want. but again, the day we should be using fossil fuels using on fossil fuels and not worry about the climate yet. and joe, the government, who's behind us polio, says i for the, for example, josh, i want to put a plan together for the ones in the class,

and one that's going to be right. and so i'm making ridiculous threats of i'm stopping, you know, different things like gas stoves, water heaters and things like this is totally ridiculous. and the positionally, our end is totally ridiculous. and the energy storage is often considered a crucial aspect of renewable energy integration. so what are the viable options for storage excess when energy and wouldn't that is slight, the cost of the batteries are still very expensive. what was a again, no matter what we do, we can't control what the rest of the world up. and we're only a minority of compared to the rest of the world. and again, if you have 40 percent of the world bonding call and china and india plus the rest of them that are how are you going to do anything? we are the cleanest under united states was like we just found you in the world as it is. so now you, you think you're going to stop of her back to invest and that does have you believe it in climate change? and as far as i've heard the world does that mean because of the client for last 50 years, and yet here we are still in the same position with the temperature change

a less than a quarter of the degree. and now the thing is when energy better for urban or for rural areas, i still think that the boast energy source that we have and the most for barriers for the fossil fuels. because again, they can burn clean, they can remain clean and they have not had as dramatic effect on the environment as the officials would like us to believe. i think more of them is across and, and really not realistic. and i think this is the story that has been told because we, we'd like to tell very tales that are not really legitimate. thank you so much bye for all your time today. so is when energy actually worth it? is it a worthwhile investment for a sustainable future, as we have the undeniable advantages of wind energy? sure, including its cost effectiveness, efficiency, and its potential to mitigate climate change as it makes a crucial player with global transition to renewable sources. however,

we must still acknowledge the complexities that accompanied this journey. the environmental impacts of wind turbines, concerns about wildlife interactions and considerations surrounding the grid stability call for stable planning and mitigation strategies. i'm christy. i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything . the november 22nd 2022 outraged orthodox christians confronted ukrainian security service offices, looking entrances and exits. the keys on the street were looking for a russian spies among the monks, and we mean zillow seeming us and it goes there. why not full reason for the ritual crack down. one churches parishioner sits on a song about the
