Danish Isle Runs Completely on Renewable Energy, Is Greenest Guinea Pig Ever

In this week’sNew Yorker , Elizabeth Kolbert wrote about the Danish isle of Samsø , which over the retiring 10 year , has gone from exclusively using fogey fuel energy sources , to living solely offrenewable push . Using a combining of onshore and offshore turbine , private mini - turbines , solar gore , straw - burning furnace and biofuels , the 4,300 - resident island has become a kind of a sandpit for green experiment .

The man responsible for for Samsø ’s break is Søren Hermansen , who after deciding farming was n’t for him , became an environmental sciences teacher , and then a renewable muscularity expert . Growing up on the island and seeing the impingement the people were having on the environment , Hermansen felt he could talk the residents into making some changes . The public reply was favorable , and the translation began . The island now has 11 onshore turbine , a biomass works , and a drinking straw burning plant , which are adorn in by the resident of Samsø , as well as outside , private investors . All the while , this dark-green movement has brought in a constant flow of researchers , scientist and sociologists endeavor to figure out Samsø ’s mojo .

And for those in the giant turbine market , I think it ’s deserving noting that jumbo turbine do with bird’s-eye sunroof . Not sure about index lock and cruise ascendance , however . [ New Yorker ]
