Herald Angel: The next talks – actually
two talks – will be about, somehow about,
00:00:22.859 --> 00:00:28.900
saving the world and saving the
environment. We will have two different
00:00:28.900 --> 00:00:35.050
ways of saving them and the first talk is
"Saving the World with Space Solar Power".
00:00:35.050 --> 00:00:39.789
It's held by Stefan and Anja and they work
as space engineers in Berlin at the
00:00:39.789 --> 00:00:47.539
Technical University. That talk will be
followed by another approach which is
00:00:47.539 --> 00:00:54.699
introduced to you by Christoph. He has a
PhD in theoretical physics and his former
00:00:54.699 --> 00:01:00.359
work was he was working with higher loop
perturbation theory and supersymmetric
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:07.799
yang-mills theories and now he is doing
airborne wind energy and that will be his
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:13.980
talk also. Please give the three of them a
warm applause!
00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:25.730
Applause
Anja Kohfeldt: Yeah hello! As you have
00:01:25.730 --> 00:01:29.690
heard today we are trying to save the
world with introducing you to two very
00:01:29.690 --> 00:01:36.279
different approaches of sustainable energy
generation. We are three, the three of us,
00:01:36.279 --> 00:01:42.279
and we start with Stefan.
Stefan Junk: Yeah hello everyone. Thanks
00:01:42.279 --> 00:01:46.779
for having us here!
Anja: And me with our talk about space
00:01:46.779 --> 00:01:52.419
solar power. Of course we have an outline
and I will start the introduction with
00:01:52.419 --> 00:01:59.149
showing you this very nice picture. Here
you see the earth at night also known as
00:01:59.149 --> 00:02:06.699
the black marble. It's a very interesting
picture because it illuminates you or
00:02:06.699 --> 00:02:11.950
shows you where people live or at least
where people have electric energy. But
00:02:11.950 --> 00:02:16.360
there is more information in this picture:
When you start comparing these pictures
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:23.950
from different years, you also can see how
certain regions are developing. And you
00:02:23.950 --> 00:02:28.691
also see where suddenly it gets dark,
where there has been a catastrophe or a
00:02:28.691 --> 00:02:35.740
war or something like that. So the
availability of electricity is an
00:02:35.740 --> 00:02:40.340
indicator for human development. We still
have an increasing amount of power. This
00:02:40.340 --> 00:02:44.020
is also something we can see with that
picture. But, unfortunately, currently
00:02:44.033 --> 00:02:49.800
this power demand is largely covered by
fossil resources. So yes, we need
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:55.710
definitely renewable sustainable energy
such as solar power, wind parks, water
00:02:55.710 --> 00:03:03.160
plants or even other solutions. The thing
with terrestrial bound energy plans is
00:03:03.160 --> 00:03:09.670
that they are bound to a certain location
on earth, normally, so you either need to
00:03:09.670 --> 00:03:14.720
decentralize them having a lot everywhere
or you need a lot of the transfer
00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:20.121
infrastructure. The other thing is –
especially when thinking about a wind or a
00:03:20.121 --> 00:03:26.550
solar power – that the availability is
very varying and bound to certain
00:03:26.550 --> 00:03:31.540
conditions. So you need to store the
energy. When coming, when talking about
00:03:31.540 --> 00:03:35.960
solar energy of course I mean we have the
day/night cycle, we have the atmosphere,
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:44.400
so we have weather interferences. So why
not go into space? There are some selling
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.421
arguments – or some really selling
arguments – about space solar power: As I
00:03:48.421 --> 00:03:55.530
already said it's sustainable, because
it's sun powered. Space generally is very
00:03:55.530 --> 00:04:05.520
very large, so we can build quite big
structures without covering any space, any
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:14.140
area on earth. We are, it is possible to
have some sunlight on our satellites up
00:04:14.140 --> 00:04:19.280
there all around the clock. And we don't
have an atmosphere, so there is no
00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:23.910
weather. So space solar power promises to
have an unlimited, constant and
00:04:23.910 --> 00:04:30.730
predictable energy source. That's cool!
Good! In addition, we don't need that much
00:04:30.730 --> 00:04:37.020
infrastructure to distribute the power on
earth. For example if you could compare
00:04:37.020 --> 00:04:43.020
that to a huge solar theater for example
in the Sahara, you would need a lot of
00:04:43.020 --> 00:04:47.770
cables in order to get the power for
example to Europe. This comes with some
00:04:47.770 --> 00:04:56.090
problems. But also if solving the problem
of power transmission, you can get energy
00:04:56.090 --> 00:05:01.360
to very very remote locations on earth and
you also can get the energy there quite
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:09.300
quickly. And of course the intervention in
the landscape is … let's call it minimized
00:05:09.300 --> 00:05:16.060
to a certain way. This concept of space
solar power actually isn't that young.
00:05:16.060 --> 00:05:23.110
It's there's a pattern from Peter Glaser
from the 70s who already proposed a method
00:05:23.110 --> 00:05:28.660
and apparatus for converting solar
radiation to electrical power. And here
00:05:28.660 --> 00:05:33.710
you see – you yes there's a small red
spot, I'm not sure whether you can see
00:05:33.710 --> 00:05:38.390
that – but you already see that he
introduces all the components that are in
00:05:38.390 --> 00:05:43.100
need: Of course we need the earth, we need
some large area for solar, for sun
00:05:43.110 --> 00:05:48.540
collection and we need some some antenna
in order to transmit this power. Since the
00:05:48.540 --> 00:05:54.310
70s these concepts were actually discussed
all along. Since then they where
00:05:54.310 --> 00:06:01.589
discussed. And the state of the art
approach for that is called SPS Alpha
00:06:01.589 --> 00:06:05.650
which stands for "Solar Power Satellite by
means of Arbitrarily Large Phased Array".
00:06:05.650 --> 00:06:12.750
It's the best-documented approach in that
area which comes with a phase one study
00:06:12.750 --> 00:06:22.769
financed by NASA in 2011 and 12, and they
suggest a satellite structure based on the
00:06:22.769 --> 00:06:27.300
geostationary orbit which is non moving
gravity gradient stabilized. It's
00:06:27.300 --> 00:06:34.730
collecting the sun with a very very large
mirror array and a transmitter power with
00:06:34.730 --> 00:06:40.560
a microwave beam. It looks like that for
example – or it could look like that, like
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:47.900
a whine glass. It could look like a
puddle, but there is three main components
00:06:47.900 --> 00:06:53.990
here: So we have the Sun Reflector Mirror
– this is this very very large shape –
00:06:53.990 --> 00:07:01.690
these sun reflecting mirrors are made of
actually solar sail material so extremely
00:07:01.690 --> 00:07:10.210
lightweight although they are so big. The
core piece of this installation are the so
00:07:10.210 --> 00:07:18.380
called hex modules which you see here and
they host both the solar array, the solar
00:07:18.380 --> 00:07:26.439
panels and the wireless power transmission
modules. We come to that later. And then
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:30.579
of course you also need the structure
which holds everything together. In
00:07:30.579 --> 00:07:36.810
addition to that you need some support
structures like little robots combining,
00:07:36.810 --> 00:07:43.749
fixing, exchanging modules and so on, but
they are not further discussed yet. But
00:07:43.749 --> 00:07:47.960
the NASA approach isn't the only one.
There's also an approach from from JAXA.
00:07:47.960 --> 00:07:54.440
This is a Japanese Space Agency. They call
their approach tethered SPS. It's also a
00:07:54.440 --> 00:08:00.470
gravity ground stabilized approach which
you can see here. The idea is basically
00:08:00.470 --> 00:08:05.370
the same but they don't have the mirrors.
Their selling argument is: You know our
00:08:05.370 --> 00:08:11.580
system is so simple, we're sure it will
work somehow. But they also say that it's
00:08:11.580 --> 00:08:19.620
not as efficient as the other approaches.
In addition there are Japanese scientists
00:08:19.620 --> 00:08:26.780
involved in the SPS Alpha study. But what
I think is most interesting there are also
00:08:26.780 --> 00:08:33.650
a lot of Japanese approaches driving
forwards the wireless power transmission.
00:08:33.650 --> 00:08:39.899
Then there's a new – quite new – approach.
This is from the Chinese space agency of
00:08:39.899 --> 00:08:45.189
CAST and they suggest a Multi-Rotary
joints SPS, which you can see here. So
00:08:45.189 --> 00:08:52.550
here in this the yellow spot over here
also is the transmission antenna. But they
00:08:52.550 --> 00:08:58.469
have their solar arrays bound in this
structure which is approximately 10
00:08:58.469 --> 00:09:04.750
kilometers wide and they adjust the
position of their solar panels according
00:09:04.750 --> 00:09:12.650
to the sun position. So this is how they
try to increase the efficiency. There's
00:09:12.650 --> 00:09:21.950
also a paper from Europe which is quite
old but I'm not aware of a current work on
00:09:21.950 --> 00:09:29.559
European ground here. If we summarize some
of the core parameters of these three
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:35.399
documented or still discussed approaches,
we come to this nice table. So we are
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:40.199
talking about a power transmission between
1 and 2 gigawatts. These entire structures
00:09:40.199 --> 00:09:48.989
have a mass of about 10,000 tons – metric
tons – or even more. Yes the Japanese
00:09:48.989 --> 00:09:55.910
approach the antennas are quite big. We'll
come to that later. This comes with a
00:09:55.910 --> 00:10:03.950
certain energy density, but the total
efficiency of this of these approaches are
00:10:03.950 --> 00:10:08.849
calculated – and there's also a little bit
of like a small wish list included. This
00:10:08.849 --> 00:10:15.809
total energy is in the range of more or
less 20%. I put a question mark behind
00:10:15.809 --> 00:10:19.229
this 25% of the JAXA approach, because
they even said that they won't be as
00:10:19.229 --> 00:10:25.699
efficient as the others are. So don't take
this number too serious. Maybe we must
00:10:25.699 --> 00:10:34.470
calculate it. Yes. With that with these
three approaches, I would say problem
00:10:34.470 --> 00:10:52.249
solved, isn't it? Applause
Stefan: .......concepts. But there are some major
00:10:52.249 --> 00:11:00.190
challenges we want to point out here. At
first this is the attitude in orbit
00:11:00.190 --> 00:11:06.110
control so this station is in the
geostationary orbit. There are several of
00:11:06.110 --> 00:11:12.400
the TV satellites doing the same and it's
working quite well, but these TV
00:11:12.400 --> 00:11:18.949
satellites are about 1.8 metric tons and
this station we're talking about is about
00:11:18.949 --> 00:11:28.520
10,000 tons or 9 to 25 thousand tons, so
this is a huge difference. In the
00:11:28.520 --> 00:11:33.979
geostationary orbit it's not a big deal to
rotate. It's very slow. So we just need to
00:11:33.979 --> 00:11:40.340
point to watch the earth to hit the
designated point on earth we want to
00:11:40.340 --> 00:11:47.550
transfer the energy to. And then we have a
phased array antenna, so these are these
00:11:47.550 --> 00:11:53.370
little modules you saw before to form a
beam which points exactly to the receiving
00:11:53.370 --> 00:11:59.969
point at the earth for the energy. Another
point is the the orbit control. This means
00:11:59.969 --> 00:12:05.259
the distance from Earth and the speed the
station is traveling with. This is another
00:12:05.259 --> 00:12:14.009
point. This is already for TV satellites a
little bit difficult to do. And now we
00:12:14.009 --> 00:12:20.790
have, as I said, this one thousand metric
tons station to lift up to the right
00:12:20.790 --> 00:12:28.119
distance or to accelerate. There are
several forces trying to push us out of
00:12:28.119 --> 00:12:33.700
the exact orbit and we would lose the
exact spot we want to point at. And there
00:12:33.700 --> 00:12:39.800
is the lunar gravity, the sun gravity or
solar gravity, and the flattened poles of
00:12:39.800 --> 00:12:43.840
the earth. You know the earth is not a
perfect sphere, is more imperfect, is more
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:51.020
like a donut. You have flattened points at
the poles which disturb the gravity field.
00:12:51.020 --> 00:12:56.669
There are solar winds and radiation
pressure. Solar wind comes from the Sun.
00:12:56.669 --> 00:13:01.789
These are particles hitting the station
and pushing it out of the orbit. And there
00:13:01.789 --> 00:13:08.679
is radiation pressure, the same that comes
from deep space. This station is huge. So
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:13.730
you have a huge surface. This is different
from the most TV satellites. So we have to
00:13:13.730 --> 00:13:19.490
overcome this. Luckily, we have nearly
unlimited energy with this station, and we
00:13:19.490 --> 00:13:24.239
can use electrical thruster. So we don't
need any fuel or propellant. Maybe a
00:13:24.239 --> 00:13:30.439
little bit propellant to bring up to the
station. Another point is the power
00:13:30.439 --> 00:13:36.389
transmission. I think this is the most
critical point. As I said, it's in a
00:13:36.389 --> 00:13:42.029
geostationary orbit and I have an example
here. I chose the MR SPS because the
00:13:42.029 --> 00:13:47.789
numbers are so round, but most of the
concepts are similar, as you saw before.
00:13:47.789 --> 00:13:55.389
So I think about a 1GW output station. And
in the picture on the right and chopped
00:13:55.389 --> 00:14:00.329
you can see the yellow point is the
standing antenna. This would be about
00:14:00.329 --> 00:14:10.379
1.000 meter in diameter. So this is about
110 soccer fields placed in space. This
00:14:10.379 --> 00:14:18.430
antenna is sending a microwave beam with
2.45 GHz or 5.8 GH. These frequencies are
00:14:18.430 --> 00:14:24.560
chosen because of the low attenuation or
damping in the atmosphere. We want to
00:14:24.560 --> 00:14:32.719
transfer the most energy. And this beam
hits at the receiving antenna, or in the
00:14:32.719 --> 00:14:39.329
literature called the Rectenna. And this
Rectenna is going to be about 5.000 meters
00:14:39.329 --> 00:14:49.330
in diameter. This is 2.750 soccer fields,
or about 20 times the Messe Leipzig area.
00:14:49.330 --> 00:14:55.259
So you can imagine this is a big deal. If
you think about wind parks are ugly, then
00:14:55.259 --> 00:15:02.699
maybe you think about this area. OK, so
you can read more about if you like in the
00:15:02.699 --> 00:15:09.210
references. We have a link to this. Now, I
guess you wonder about the efficiency of
00:15:09.210 --> 00:15:14.259
this. Anja talked about it already a
little bit. I have the subsystems here
00:15:14.259 --> 00:15:18.850
including, and I think the most important
part is this microwave beam. This is the
00:15:18.850 --> 00:15:23.609
third position, and this is actually not
tested. So this is just a calculated
00:15:23.609 --> 00:15:32.159
number. These 85% or 90% to 95% is just
from the studies we read. Current tests
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:38.559
are more in the area of 1% or a few
percent. And most studies are not really
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:45.400
certain about the total efficiency. So we
have 18% to 24% with these numbers. And
00:15:45.400 --> 00:15:53.609
from other studies we have 13% to 25%. So
this is most calculated. So now you would
00:15:53.609 --> 00:15:58.849
wonder if wouldn't laser work for this? Or
microwave beep sounds nice and you have
00:15:58.849 --> 00:16:03.390
this nice receiving antenna. But a laser
would be much smaller, I guess. So, yes,
00:16:03.390 --> 00:16:11.279
basically you could use laser for this.
And it would have a much higher energy
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:15.709
density. So you could hit a really smaller
spot on the earth to receive the energy.
00:16:15.709 --> 00:16:21.599
You don't have this 5 kilometers receiving
antenna. But most of the research
00:16:21.599 --> 00:16:27.271
institutes don't want to talk about
lasers. I think it's just a little bit too
00:16:27.271 --> 00:16:33.889
obvious that you have some …
Laughter
00:16:33.889 --> 00:16:41.249
Stefan: OK, so this is the most technical
things, I think.
00:16:41.249 --> 00:16:46.189
Anja: The other question is, who is gonna
pay for that? And if we talk about this
00:16:46.189 --> 00:16:51.349
extremely large structures that have to be
built, and since they're also are meant to
00:16:51.349 --> 00:16:57.480
be in the geostationary orbit where we
have a certain radiation force, and we
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:02.340
want these components to operate for quite
a long time, they are usually quite
00:17:02.340 --> 00:17:07.819
expensive and geting all the certification
for sending them up there is also very
00:17:07.819 --> 00:17:12.310
expensive. Somehow the SPS Alpha approach
has thought about that, and they are
00:17:12.310 --> 00:17:21.089
aiming at, although the numbers are
varying very much, at a material cost of $
00:17:21.089 --> 00:17:32.030
250 per kilogram, which still is some
billion dollars. And it is also a wish
00:17:32.030 --> 00:17:38.670
list. So they are aiming for this number
in their third approach where they think
00:17:38.670 --> 00:17:41.600
that they already have the mass
production, and have the certification,
00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:47.339
and the engineering and development cost
all covered up already. There's another
00:17:47.339 --> 00:17:50.509
thing and this is the launch cost. So we
are talking about a structure which is
00:17:50.509 --> 00:18:03.030
maybe 10 thousand tonnes large, or heavy.
Again, the SPS Alpha guys, they hope that
00:18:03.030 --> 00:18:08.080
they could launch a kilo for $600 into the
low-earth orbit, and continue from the
00:18:08.080 --> 00:18:13.669
low-earth orbit into the geostationary
orbit with electrical truck trusters. OK,
00:18:13.669 --> 00:18:20.269
maybe if the BFR rocket will be available
for the price of the Falcon 9, maybe. But
00:18:20.269 --> 00:18:26.690
this also would take some time. Just a
reality check right now, for the prices
00:18:26.690 --> 00:18:32.450
the SpaceX provides on their site, the
Falcon Heavy which was erected today, I
00:18:32.450 --> 00:18:37.240
don't know whether you have heard that, so
also the Falcon Heavy has not flown yet.
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:44.079
But SpaceX hopes that they could sell the
the Falcon Heavy for 90 million dollars in
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:49.990
order to lift 26 tons into geostationary
orbit. But that would be approximately 400
00:18:49.990 --> 00:18:56.590
launches for such a structure as the SPS
Alpha, and also would cost some tens of
00:18:56.590 --> 00:19:00.630
billion dollars. Additioned to that, there
are some other costs like the initial
00:19:00.630 --> 00:19:05.081
orbit installation cost which comes with
11 billion dollars, and an operation of a
00:19:05.081 --> 00:19:11.369
100 million a year. So it's quite
expensive and probably this is also one of
00:19:11.369 --> 00:19:18.289
the reasons why we don't have space solar
power, yet. But still, I mean, we have
00:19:18.289 --> 00:19:25.789
technical problems, this is just money,
maybe it's also solvable, isn't it?
00:19:25.789 --> 00:19:28.900
Stefan: Yeah, so you know about the
concept, you know about the challenges,
00:19:28.900 --> 00:19:34.440
and let's assume we can overcome these
challenges, and someone is funding this
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:42.510
big station. I think, there are some
considerations about if we want to do
00:19:42.510 --> 00:19:53.690
this. And at first, so this beam is, you
need a precision of about one 10.000ths of
00:19:53.690 --> 00:20:00.760
a degree plus minus to hit the spot at the
earth. So this is like you want to hit a
00:20:00.760 --> 00:20:08.460
hazelnut of a 100 meters from a station
flying with 3 kilometers per second. If
00:20:08.460 --> 00:20:14.209
there's something goes wrong and the beam
is hitting the wrong spot, maybe, you
00:20:14.209 --> 00:20:19.500
know, it's not a good idea. Or if some of
the antennas are not working well, the
00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:24.880
beam is not forming right, and it's
straying somewhere. So this is one point.
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:32.640
Let's assume everything works well, and
the beam is still going through the space,
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:38.180
and it's going through the atmosphere. And
there are some other satellites going.
00:20:38.180 --> 00:20:43.110
Maybe, for an accident, they go through
the beam. What happens then? Or, if you
00:20:43.110 --> 00:20:47.559
can't, or by accident, and the airplane
goes through the beam. So it's not even
00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:51.960
allowed to turn on your phone on the
airplane. You can imagine what happens if
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:57.180
this beam with 50 watts per square meter
hits the airplane. I don't want to sit in
00:20:57.180 --> 00:21:03.399
this. And then you can't avoid the
animals, birds, insects, whatever go
00:21:03.409 --> 00:21:09.489
through the beam. And maybe you have a
same imagination like I have, or we have.
00:21:09.489 --> 00:21:11.610
Soft laughter
Stefan: And it looks a little bit like
00:21:11.610 --> 00:21:15.830
this maybe.
Laughter
00:21:15.830 --> 00:21:22.059
Stefan: It sounds pretty scary, I think.
Doesn't it a little bit sound like an
00:21:22.059 --> 00:21:29.380
energy weapon? So we thought about: OK 50
watts per square meter; it's not like a
00:21:29.380 --> 00:21:36.719
nuclear weapon, but still it could harm a
lot. There is a high energy density, and
00:21:36.719 --> 00:21:42.640
you can really fast readjust this beam. So
you can point it in 1 second to the
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:47.260
receiving antenna, and the next second,
you can just point it to some city, and a
00:21:47.260 --> 00:21:55.670
second later, you point it just back. It's
really fast to change. It's not really
00:21:55.670 --> 00:22:03.470
defendable. I mean, you can sit in the
bunker and try to hide, and maybe put your
00:22:03.470 --> 00:22:14.380
aluminum hat on. After all it's useful.
Applause
00:22:14.380 --> 00:22:20.970
Stefan: But still, this thing is 24/7 on,
so it could hit your bunker all the time.
00:22:20.970 --> 00:22:30.951
And last year, there's a lot of interest
from military institutions. So this is, I
00:22:30.951 --> 00:22:36.549
think it's a bit scary. OK. And then you
would ask: But it's legal to install this
00:22:36.549 --> 00:22:45.460
kind of application? So basically, yeah.
You see, there is already the United
00:22:45.460 --> 00:22:50.339
Nations Outer Space Treaty. It was first
signed from the Russian Federation, and
00:22:50.339 --> 00:22:56.279
the United Kingdom, and the United States.
And now it's in the United Nations
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:03.100
treaties and most of the other countries
signed it, too. It's about all the
00:23:03.100 --> 00:23:11.440
activities of States in the space. What
does it say about this case here? And it
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.930
says, there are no nuclear weapons or
other weapons of mass destruction allowed
00:23:15.930 --> 00:23:22.879
in outer space. As always, there's a
backdoor. If you install a military object
00:23:22.879 --> 00:23:30.700
in outer space with a scientific reason,
then it's allowed again. So another point
00:23:30.700 --> 00:23:39.470
is in this treaty you must not influence
the earth environment at all. There are no
00:23:39.470 --> 00:23:43.829
real studies about this. I have a feeling
it's going to influence somehow the
00:23:43.829 --> 00:23:50.890
environment, but I'm not sure about this –
I'm not a lawyer. So finally this all this
00:23:50.890 --> 00:23:55.179
funding and this technology and the
knowledge is necessary, so it's only
00:23:55.179 --> 00:24:02.300
possible by some few states to build
this. And how do you prevent that certain
00:24:02.300 --> 00:24:09.629
leaders of states or whoever's want to
build this is misuse this technology. So I
00:24:09.629 --> 00:24:13.800
can't give you an answer on that, but I
think there are some who shouldn't have
00:24:13.800 --> 00:24:21.430
this. Yeah and you maybe you can think
about this after the talk. And now we have
00:24:21.430 --> 00:24:31.989
some take-home words for you from Anja.
Anja: So yes, the concepts are existing
00:24:31.989 --> 00:24:37.869
and we don't say that they should not be
discussed and that they are entirely evil.
00:24:37.869 --> 00:24:46.130
They it's technologically feasible – at
least that that's proposed some studies –,
00:24:46.130 --> 00:24:51.200
but I mean it's still challenging: The
technology is not there yet, but the moral
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:56.650
questions are still open. So yes it's
still pretty science-fiction and as I said
00:24:56.650 --> 00:25:01.589
we don't say it's we should not do that at
all, but at least we should think about it
00:25:01.589 --> 00:25:08.779
and be critical with this kind or also
with other new technologies. So but right
00:25:08.779 --> 00:25:15.909
now, maybe, we should think about: Is
there another solution to this energy
00:25:15.909 --> 00:25:27.210
problem? Maybe a more realistic, maybe a
less problematic one I mean?
00:25:27.210 --> 00:25:34.180
Interrupted?
