OMA NORTH SEA GNEREATOR

MASTERPLAN ZEEKRACHT (sea power) for the North Sea has the main feathre being a ring of cables that connects windmill farms of the seven adjacent countries. An international institute in the centre of the ring unites the knowledge on wind energy. The Netherlands takes a central position in the plan, not only geographically but also as a source of experience and information.

With shared infrastructure and shared knowledge the North Sea countries can make the step from carbon based energy towards sustainable energy. Aniticipated that in 2050 Europe should be able to be independent of the oil state and Russia using a combination of wind and solar energy. THE WIND ENERGY GENERATED AT THE NORTH SEA EQUALS THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY NOW PRODUCED IN THE PERSIAN GOLF.

I cannot help but marvelling at the way OMA disseminates their works. What an image of this gigantic ring producing and flowing electricity. What string statement of energy producing and ambitious forecasts.

Buckminster Fuller once said that only those who are comprehensive and not specific would survive. There was the Great Prirates then who now dominate the world economic landscape. It’s time for us to venture out at sea again.
