Alex knows that the shops and houses of
00:00:06.650 00:00:06.660 Rosenheim are war and that when he wants
00:00:08.930 00:00:08.940 to watch the match he can turn on the TV
00:00:11.180 00:00:11.190 and there will be power but he doesn't
00:00:13.400 00:00:13.410 know why so Alex did what all children
00:00:16.310 00:00:16.320 do and he asked his father who works at
00:00:18.920 00:00:18.930 the city's utility company where the
00:00:20.929 00:00:20.939 power came from we have to be more
00:00:23.359 00:00:23.369 efficient with all the resources we have
00:00:25.130 00:00:25.140 his father explained we have wind
00:00:27.830 00:00:27.840 turbines and solar panels and natural
00:00:29.960 00:00:29.970 gas but we have to get the most energy
00:00:32.179 00:00:32.189 out of them that we can at the plant we
00:00:35.030 00:00:35.040 have a new gas engine called the GE yen
00:00:37.520 00:00:37.530 baka j9 24 which works with all of these
00:00:41.119 00:00:41.129 resources to create heat and power for
00:00:43.670 00:00:43.680 the town think about a car engine it
00:00:46.310 00:00:46.320 gets very hot when it's powering a car
00:00:48.380 00:00:48.390 his father said the same thing happens
00:00:51.049 00:00:51.059 at the power plant when it's creating
00:00:52.880 00:00:52.890 energy but unlike a car engine
00:00:55.100 00:00:55.110 the j9 24 - its own heat and use it to
00:00:59.360 00:00:59.370 warm our homes this is called combined
00:01:02.209 00:01:02.219 heat and power and it ensures that
00:01:04.189 00:01:04.199 almost no energy goes to waste and while
00:01:07.340 00:01:07.350 we always try to use the Sun and the
00:01:09.380 00:01:09.390 wind to make power the wind doesn't
00:01:11.450 00:01:11.460 always blow and the Sun doesn't always
00:01:13.670 00:01:13.680 shine the new system allows us to start
00:01:16.580 00:01:16.590 up the jano 20 let's go quickly which
00:01:19.280 00:01:19.290 means the town will never lose power
00:01:21.260 00:01:21.270 even when the Sun goes behind a cloud
00:01:24.010 00:01:24.020 efficiency is important because it means
00:01:26.510 00:01:26.520 we can use fewer resources to create
00:01:28.700 00:01:28.710 power
00:01:29.330 00:01:29.340 every year we exam as much as the amount
00:01:31.850 00:01:31.860 of energy in 76,000 barrels of oil the
00:01:35.719 00:01:35.729 new gas engine also is designed to
00:01:37.789 00:01:37.799 produce fewer emissions about the same
00:01:40.190 00:01:40.200 as having 4,100 fewer cars on the road
00:01:44.090 00:01:44.100 this means cleaner air for you me and
00:01:46.850 00:01:46.860 all our neighbours but most importantly
00:01:49.730 00:01:49.740 he explained the shops and houses of
00:01:52.609 00:01:52.619 rosenheim we'll have light and warmth
00:01:55.160 00:01:55.170 and when you want to watch the match you
00:01:57.499 00:01:57.509 can turn on the TV
00:01:59.270 00:01:59.280 cool said Alex and he went back to
00:02:02.450 00:02:02.460 watching his football match yes yes it
00:02:05.870 00:02:05.880 is thought his father
00:02:09.680 00:02:09.690 [Music]
00:02:11.640 00:02:11.650 you
