Those islands are a really cool idea! You can generate a lot of energy, without people complaining about it "ruining the landscape" or being "noisy".
-
My mind was blown when you said Denmark was the largest oil producer in the EU, but then I remember that the UK and Norway aren't in the EU.
-
As someone who lives on Bornholm, i can confirm that the plans for these islands change faster than i can keep track of
-
As an update for this. Denmark, Germany, Holland and Belgium just signed an agreement for upscaling this energy island by 10 times aiming for a total produce of 150 gigawatt (equals 230.000.000 households) Which is half of what the EU aim for as a total. :) The project is set at a pricelabel around 134.363.000.000 Euro / 142.442.000.000 USD :)

I often imagine how farther ahead we’d be if we spent all our money on solving these kind of problems rather than spending it on war and destruction
-
As an inhabitant of Gouda, the Netherlands, I was quite surprised to see aerial footage of my city in a video about Denmark 😅
-
Man this channel is off to a flying start... Awesome work guys! Have watched the B1M for a long time and love that we're getting even more high quality videos here!
-
amazing kind of art. Beautiful and practical. So thumbs up for this project
-
Five minutes of words without being able to state what these magical islands will do.
-
Building artificial islands? Somebody call the Netherlands ASAP
-
How about they just build an average nuclear power plant?
-
Projects like these give me much more "European Identity" than all well-meant politician talks combined.
-
Instead of wasting €34B on crappy wind turbines for a measly 3-10GW you could spend it on 30+GW of nuclear power.
-
This would also be a good chance to look into energy produced by tidal forces. They don't rely on wind or sun but run like clockwork day and night.
-
I'd love to see one of Boston Harbor's islands converted this way. Maybe Shag Rock island or the Outer Brewster. We used to put forts on these islands, putting a power farm would be an even better use.
-
Good to see that Sea levels rising is no longer a concern........
-
Renewable energy that will result in tripling energy bills.
-
Seems like a cool place to work. More comfortable than an oil rig certainly.
-
As an inhabitant of Earth, I can confirm we do have a climate.
-
Assuming a life of 25 years, $34Billion to build a 3 GW facility works out to about $0.05/ kWh. Assuming 2 MW output per windmill, that's 1,500 windmills. That's a huge footprint.
