i'm the savior officer, crane in state thoughts and to crane turning into a west and colony, which is not able to take any supper in decisions at all. bought them is less to the mercy of its west. the masters linens lodges, a ship, build it, and damen, the ship you, all the syrians countries, gulf of a loss is in could doing due to anti russian sanctions. now according to the company, prior to wes and the sizes on most of it had extensive contracts with russian clients. however, off of this top of the planning conflicts, i'm so that monday that does companies not abide by those ingredients. dave and ship as good as a does firm that specializes in ship construction, lux results and washes. following the outbreak of the plane conflict, the firm sees collaboration with laska. previously the company supplied engineering

suppliers to ship the incident petersburg on the black sea region. indeed, the science has intended to undermine russians because we haven't exactly going to plan the us treasury cycles. or you can see the, the, the old price kept on russian as the export hasn't been observed by muster. it does point to some reduction in the effectiveness of the price gap they have added to the shadow fleet, provided more insurance, and that kind of trade is not prohibited by the price gap. a lot of this and these are the so the ticket all to call most of interesting so is that i will be back from the top of the out with all international news. 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 up 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 that uses a series of mechanisms that change the speed of rotation as it leads to a generator. while there's no input costs 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. the 1st off is expensive to buy or manufacture wind mills and turbines. more over there are logistical difficulty, such as changing winds, directions, or even inconsistency. the setup costs can vary depending on the location and the capacity of the farm. for commercial wind 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 tara watt 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 wind projects. and this highlights the growing importance of wind and our energy mix. the wind 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, 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 constant 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're 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, 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 have dropped at least 50 percent at least 50 percent. so, um, when did you know, is comfortable to say it taking up a new post ation to so that it's leveled pegging with the

fossil fuel industry. now wind energy is often praised for its 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 past actions need co need gas. uh, that is, it's great advantage. and that is one of the reasons why it's cost effective. it does no, 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 a, is when doing it to well, wide, wind energy use already making about 78 percent of the electricity in the world. another reason why the you k is so fortunate is the to it has a very shallow coast line and you can erect off show 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 is, this is equal to pile squared is you know, that they, the destruction knowledge of the radius. the greater will be, the amount of energy that you can collect as it goes up a squared. which means that to the 2 wind turbines have been getting told her and told her and bigger and bigger. nowadays, you can buy the wind turbines with the radius of a 130 meters. now that's a diameter of 260 meters. so these wind turbines at 300 meters above the

lando above the sea. one interesting thing is that they, these 2 button uh 2 by the so very large. but you cannot make them off show because you can't put them in the toilet. and then trying to corner, when you get to depend on the road they just to, to very low. oh 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 should the countries allocating more or less money towards wind be jody, what should a wind turbine is? is net number 2 in the, in the, in the hierarchy the most effective today is hydro electric. just to

give you an idea hydro electric to produce a 17 percent of the wells, the electricity wind turbine 7 to 8 percent. so and as so those are the 4 to 5 percent. and so 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 as well, usa is catching up, a china is doing and creatively as well on wind turbines. but it's such a huge country to need so much electricity. but 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 away. the a 9 man, boston superior point 4000000. so this little vehicle called you had an old list assess that was set to be fish indeed. so just appeared on the lot of spot. that's the algorithm this, but i'm not that the showing is the one on the desktop or joseph. this alex is low to me on i, it was the most of the beast to almost 2 months.

you may still have the ways to get the most continue. listening. that's given to me as though is descript. certainly if i take it easy, it is a new rules across the street address of one of the with the on i box, we the call you to who which you put in the 6 in a little boys. even though lynch stuff coming out of the certificate agenda, the the, to assess those images as, as i have some, some small se on the fields and ask for you they was, i'm so political. some on i said i went to summer, saw the english american love so much stuff, you know, much missing stuff. you'll see lots of deals is, does he run that up to you last but they were 5 you does. these is a bit of notes on the pro much he's signing of running away. no premier

the to take a fresh look around as a life kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real live indians fixtures design to simplify. it will confuse who really wants a better world, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented as fast? can you see through their illusions, going underground again?

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 such shorter. is it conflict with the 1st law? show your mind and justification. we should be very careful about our professional intelligence. the point obviously, is to create a trust rather than fit the various jobs with artificial intelligence, we're summoning the theme and the robot must protect this phone. existence was on the well when energy bring significant benefits,

it is essential to examine the challenges of poses. now one of the big factors is that it is completely dependent on the winds of mother nature as to how much when it's forecasted for the day. if there is no wind at all, then all of these turbines sit idle. when there's never constant and overall averages will have terabytes always spinning at 30 to 40 percent. they're rated capacity for onshore. the 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 a large scale offshore wind farms. and while there is no specific evidence that the noise resulting from the offshore wind sights could potentially caused the

mortality of whales, there is a strong correlation. and recent studies have shown that certain marine species, such as whales and seals, might be effected by wind turbines, underwater noise. a study by oceana raised the concerns about the distortion of marine species eco location abilities 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 in 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. despite these concerns, wind 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 the, 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 deal with whether or not it works or not cuz it does not work very well . has been proven that 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 patched roads, it's about money. it's about how much these companies can make by being bag 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, there's really no explosion for fossil fuels, or 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, continue to work. you know, we, we, we've 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 of them. 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's, there's many wind farms out there that do not allow for the production of the energy that is needed. you know, we use on it back to this country and we have not been able to, to master or, or satisfy the need by using when nor so are you. 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?

well, the mother is money and those who are producing it 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 again 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 power companies addressing this concern and ensuring consistent energy supply. well, that goes back to the bottom of the right, you still need new 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 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 again, but because we, the, the country is not done a good job at focusing on fixing. the problem is that this goes back to, you know, fixing the lobbies and things. it's katrina, right? they didn't want to fix up there to cheap. you guys are busy stealing the money instead of putting into words supposed to be the 1st thing you have to do before and it is 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 5 companies that are problem. well, is there a problem? because we're very accessible to be hacked by just about anybody, right? and 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? this initial applies you use when does not create because you're ginger funding. we know the sounds out every day, but there isn't

a window. every guy there is not enough to guarantee. i'm not, i'm not fuel. you can even get a guarantee and not using solar power, not alone when power. and that's the problem you see when from where there's thousands of windmills spinning around, that still can't write enough enough power to power the right. is there any validation to the wind turbines affect 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 tire, that bite flies probably get caught up at them because you know, it was solar. the birds don't get slaughtered in, in the solar panel. so i would assume similar problems would be in when, but i don't know that that would be any major effect or somebody, it would stop me from saying that would be something we would do. and now why would consumers care about where the energy comes from as long as you'd have energy and electricity? is it only because of climate change? well, i mean, yeah, yeah, 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 can 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 possible fios using all fossil fuels and not worry about the climate. yeah. and joe, the government, who's behind us polio, says i for the, for example, josh, or want to put a plan together for as i was in the class. and one is going to be right. so i'm making ridiculous threats of i'm stopping, you know, different things like gas stoves, water heaters and things like the that 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 store it accessed when energy and wouldn't that is slate. 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 are only a minority of compared to the rest of the world. and again, if you have 40 percent of the world bonding call in china and india plus the rest of them that are, how are you going to do anything we are the cleanest under united states is the cleanest country in the world as it is. so now you, you think you're going to stop over back in this and that does have you believe it in climate change. but as far as i've heard the world is i need because the climb for last 50 years. and yet here we are still the same position with the temperature change a less than a quarter of a degree. and now the thing is when energy better for urban or for rural areas, i still think that the bus, the energy source that we have in the most prepares for the fossil fuels. because

again, they can burn claim. they can remain clean and they have not had a dramatic effect on the environment as the officials would like us to believe. i think more of it is a cry and, and really not realistic. and i think this is the story that has been told because we, we liked the child very tight. busy 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, otis on the street, were looking for at least russian spies among the monks. and we mean zillow, seeing us and yours, and why not follow reason for the brutal crack down one churches parishioner said, song, a song about the to own being reason enough to condemn any orthodox christian attack in prison and

even kill them. russia, what i mean, i shut my answer because how many was store you when you're starting a new install of the shoot? the used to me stop thinking nodes december loose, a new phone. i used to miss davi, this is new need in the midst of the shower and the bone. the soldier monument was erected in 1947 in the estonian capital by the soviets. authorities originally built about a burial site of troops, remains its memorials of the soldiers who gave their lives in world war 2. we'll say, let's get the appointment in the morning and forgive for really confused. in 2007, the stony government decided to relocate the monument from the city sent to the

printer by me to attempt the sooner frustrated to move divided. the population is stony as large as russian speaking communities, strongly opposed. it. an intense rising, broke out and tell in these have since become known as the bronze knight drives me to bring us into people across the the, the

most reason is munoz curtis. imagine if you speak russian, keep your voice down while house in about. so we met about the car, those for us, for us to of service or don't put your human symbols on display, the decision space to guide. so you guys don't talk to strangers. 7 void, noisy gatherings and riley's, which was wonderful to me what, but she didn't rely on get them in and what actually these new colleagues and perhaps also your friends think you're guilty because your russian let you know the boom. so what can i do? i'm that was mindset from it, so i'd be glad to reduce the team that does due to the style. we did use b, p of bang it's will be able to consumption to buy the specific store shortly concerning

the the, this also is this russian present rather than puts in a huge is less than pile of maintaining power and colonialism policies. right now, the nature of the resources, boston is speech. i'm a problem thing to think about the discussion, our wisdom colleagues, especially from the speech of this, how you shouldn't be quite you to tell us that. do you have in your rights to give us a warnings? could you please let us send the paper in the web and read that was the problem it wrong as if american and european movies still piled run out of warning, disturbing images coming in the 18 people killed that more than 200.
