Whom the gods would destroy they first make their governments mad. The Olympian “gods” of the London and Wall Street oligarchy are making one Western government mad after another.
Denmark approved the “biggest project ever,” a €28 billion ($34 billion) offshore wind “energy hub” (don’t call it a farm around the lemmings) to eventually produce a maximum of 10 GW rated electric capacity—this assumes the 200 turbines are larger and more “powerful” than any yet developed anywhere. It will be 80 km offshore in the North Sea. The biggest construction project in Danish history, the public-private partnership is supposed to power 3 million households, indicating real generation of only about 3 GW at perhaps $11 billion/GW. It will have “storage facilities"—no doubt in the form of those magical huge batteries that will be perfected soon, and that every country will soon have the lithium and cobalt supplies for. Plus it will be a marvel for ship traffic in the North Sea.
The approval followed Denmark’s decision to cancel all future licensing rounds for North Sea oil and gas extraction, according to the British government publication Global Construction Review on Feb. 5. This is to eliminate alternatives to this kind of power—Denmark already has the highest share of “interruptibles” in Europe, and the highest retain electricity cost, equivalent to 40 cents/kwh.
