BritNed Summary+opinion

Summary
A new grid is launced between the UK and the Netherlands. the purpose of this grid is to enhance the electric distribution between these two countries. This ''supergrid'' is fivehundred metres long, and it stretches out from the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam, to the Isle of Grain in Kent. There are hopes that the cable can provide a new kind of energy. There are also plans to use the energy from Iceland as an altervative source to provide distribution continually. The minister of energy said that the development between the UK and Iceland have ended, and consequently a new cable is going to be built. This cable will hopefully provide new energy from Iceland to the UK.  

Opinion
I have not received a clear message from this article, therefore I have no decided opinion. However I find thar the grid plan is a good concept in order to provide new energy. I live in the Netherlands, and this makes my opinion more favorable towards this concept. I do not know the excact consequence of this action. I only hope that this cable will provide us with new and improved energy to make our daily lives easier.

2 opmerkingen:

  1. Well honestly, I think it is a good decision.
    Because this way the UK can make wind energy, and if they have a surpluss they can export it easily, towards us. But if they have a shortage of wind energy they can easily export and thus making it easier to work with 'green energy'.

  2. I think the electicity cable is a really good investment, because what kind of energy is more favorable than green energy that is shared by countries? Like Marlot said, we can help each other out by sharing the energy, which makes it possible for both countries to overcome shortages.
