WEBVTT 00:00:00.301 --> 00:00:01.734 company has previously defended price hikes by pointing to the 00:00:01.769 --> 00:00:03.970 price hikes by pointing to the large amount of content on the 00:00:03.971 --> 00:00:05.228 large amount of content on the platform. Well, Ultra Music 00:00:05.239 --> 00:00:06.573 platform. Well, Ultra Music Festival is officially underway 00:00:06.574 --> 00:00:08.942 Festival is officially underway and this year they are making 00:00:08.976 --> 00:00:10.433 and this year they are making history not for their music, 00:00:10.444 --> 00:00:12.669 history not for their music, but sustainability. Sophia 00:00:12.680 --> 00:00:15.048 but sustainability. Sophia Hernandez shows us how you know 00:00:15.082 --> 00:00:16.539 Hernandez shows us how you know these rave lights well. Yep. 00:00:16.550 --> 00:00:18.308 these rave lights well. Yep. It’s ultra. And this year 00:00:18.319 --> 00:00:19.376 It’s ultra. And this year things are a little bit 00:00:19.387 --> 00:00:20.520 things are a little bit different. This large scale 00:00:20.521 --> 00:00:22.288 different. This large scale stage is being powered by 00:00:22.290 --> 00:00:23.323 stage is being powered by batteries. This is definitely 00:00:23.324 --> 00:00:25.482 batteries. This is definitely the power source for events and 00:00:25.493 --> 00:00:26.917 the power source for events and festivals for the future. 00:00:26.928 --> 00:00:28.362 festivals for the future. Posturing with show power is 00:00:28.396 --> 00:00:30.597 Posturing with show power is the man behind this back part. 00:00:30.598 --> 00:00:32.722 the man behind this back part. That’s an inverter that’s 00:00:32.733 --> 00:00:34.124 That’s an inverter that’s supplying power to the stage. 00:00:34.135 --> 00:00:35.902 supplying power to the stage. And then we have two battery 00:00:35.903 --> 00:00:37.670 And then we have two battery units and they store the energy. 00:00:37.705 --> 00:00:39.229 units and they store the energy. Each battery unit holds four 00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:40.941 Each battery unit holds four car batteries inside, packing 00:00:40.942 --> 00:00:43.076 car batteries inside, packing some big power. In total, this 00:00:43.111 --> 00:00:46.003 some big power. In total, this has a capacity of 330 kilowatt 00:00:46.014 --> 00:00:48.539 has a capacity of 330 kilowatt hours, which is enough to power 00:00:48.550 --> 00:00:50.350 hours, which is enough to power the entire stage for over ten 00:00:50.351 --> 00:00:51.751 the entire stage for over ten hours. Most festival stages 00:00:51.753 --> 00:00:53.153 hours. Most festival stages rely on diesel generators, but 00:00:53.154 --> 00:00:55.312 rely on diesel generators, but this stage the resistance stage 00:00:55.323 --> 00:00:56.790 this stage the resistance stage will be powered by Show Power’s 00:00:56.825 --> 00:00:58.683 will be powered by Show Power’s smart grid battery system. The 00:00:58.694 --> 00:01:00.027 smart grid battery system. The zero emission batteries are 00:01:00.028 --> 00:01:01.552 zero emission batteries are independent from the power grid 00:01:01.563 --> 00:01:03.330 independent from the power grid and have an internal cooling 00:01:03.331 --> 00:01:05.499 and have an internal cooling system perfect for Miami Heat 00:01:05.533 --> 00:01:07.257 system perfect for Miami Heat and are easily connected. Here, 00:01:07.268 --> 00:01:08.635 and are easily connected. Here, it’s going to the transformer 00:01:08.636 --> 00:01:10.370 it’s going to the transformer to the stage. The initiative is 00:01:10.372 --> 00:01:12.263 to the stage. The initiative is funded by nonprofit Making 00:01:12.274 --> 00:01:13.406 funded by nonprofit Making Ultra, the first large scale 00:01:13.441 --> 00:01:15.165 Ultra, the first large scale music festival in the United 00:01:15.176 --> 00:01:16.634 music festival in the United States to be powered by 00:01:16.645 --> 00:01:17.712 States to be powered by batteries. It’s all part of 00:01:17.746 --> 00:01:19.503 batteries. It’s all part of Ultra’s Mission Home initiative. 00:01:19.514 --> 00:01:21.248 Ultra’s Mission Home initiative. It started with only 20 00:01:21.249 --> 00:01:22.616 It started with only 20 initiatives, and now it’s grown 00:01:22.651 --> 00:01:24.909 initiatives, and now it’s grown to 65 initiatives that will be 00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:26.320 to 65 initiatives that will be here at the festival this year. 00:01:26.354 --> 00:01:27.778 here at the festival this year. And while ultra celebrating 00:01:27.789 --> 00:01:29.490 And while ultra celebrating this new addition, they are 00:01:29.491 --> 00:01:31.382 this new addition, they are also hoping to increase other 00:01:31.393 --> 00:01:32.793 also hoping to increase other sustainability efforts. This 00:01:32.794 --> 00:01:35.052 sustainability efforts. This festival we have since 2019. So 00:01:35.063 --> 00:01:37.164 festival we have since 2019. So in only five iterations of the 00:01:37.165 --> 00:01:39.433 in only five iterations of the program, we’ve diverted 400,000 00:01:39.468 --> 00:01:42.193 program, we’ve diverted 400,000 pounds worth of waste and 00:01:42.204 --> 00:01:43.937 pounds worth of waste and 84,000 pounds of that was 00:01:43.972 --> 00:01:46.130 84,000 pounds of that was actually food, beverages, 00:01:46.141 --> 00:01:47.208 actually food, beverages, supplies and materials that 00:01:47.209 --> 00:01:48.976 supplies and materials that were given back to our local 00:01:48.977 --> 00:01:50.044 were given back to our local community.
