Netherlands? Try living in the USA. A broken educations system, a mind-set that includes the "right" to drive HUGE smoking vehicles and eight years of a mentally-retarded president.... leave us 30 years behind. It is like living in a bad television program. Be glad you live in a civilized country.

Oh we are so behind in the Netherlands. Only because Shell has such a big finger in our politics. I hope that in about 5 year high efficient very cheap solar panels will be available and i will put my roof full of them.

And this is why the US will have to invent a new war. This time agains the Europeans to sustain their way of life: free oil=free dollars=free world???

I hope we dont let us get used to a few wealthy families that want to sustain their wealth by convincing others to fight for them.

In Denmark we made up the wind energy bussiness in the 80-90's... but be cause of the right wing parties taking over in 2001... Denmark got totally behind on solar and new renewable energy. Shame on you Anders Fogh Rasmussen!

Can you tell us more about the system?

How large with they be, how do you get the energy to shore?  How much energy is lost in transmission? What is the cost? How long will it be until it's ready? How long will it take to build them?

Will the Ocean life be effected in any way?

How about ships?

Thanks, looking forward to any answers you currently have?

Agreed Hawaiiguy,
Sending it to our minister of small business here in B.C. who's been on the radio promoting yet another rare pristine valley destroying dam near Powell river.
Everyone I send this video to really gets it and believes this paradigm shift is totally viable with the right political will.
