THUMBS UP TO DENMARK!

  THUMBS UP TO DENMARK! Denmark is building an artificial island with enough  wind power for the whole country.  It will house 600 giant wind turbines.  The island will be built 60 km off shore top take advantage of the stronger winds out at sea. The aim is to complete construction by 2030. The island will supply twice as much power as the current wind capacity city. This could more than triple in the future enough to power 10  million homes  in Europe. The island will also house the batteries for energy storage. There will also be an electrolysis  plant to produce green hydrogen. BY 2040 wind energy could power 150 million homes in Europe

Scientists believe that there are more than 400 species of sharks.      Today scientists are extremely concerned about the alarming decline of sharks in the last 30 years. Today, in 2021, 24 of the 31 species of sharks are threatened with extinction.   Three sharks that are considered critically endangered are oceanic whitetip sharks, scalloped hammerhead sharks, and great hammerhead sharks. Between 1970 and 2018 the shark population has plummeted by 70% If shark populations were to disappear today, there would be disastrous consequences for the oceans, our environment, and human life. We need ecologically healthy oceans as they play a huge role in reducing global overheating. First of all, oceans help regulate the carbon cycle of the planet. The oceans suck up 25% of the carbon in the atmosphere and 25 % is absorbed by land plants and trees.   Carbon dioxide can dif
