Quit coal - plug into the wind
The Rainbow Warrior arrived in Belgium waters today and visited the first Belgian offshore wind park that will very soon be connected to the Belgian grid. With journalists and politicians on board the crew were congratulating the Belgian government for taking the first step towards an energy revolution.
We're now asking for further development of wind energy offshore in the North Sea and for this energy to be widely integrated on the European grid by connecting the North Sea wind farms together. This would decrease the variability in the electricity production from wind and make this clean energy a much more powerful solution for fighting climate change.
I have just arrived in Belgium and will be taking part in another energy adventure here shortly - so watch this space!
