Creating a Hydro-Wind Power Plant | Islands of the Future: El Hierro | FD Engineering
The world is in an energy crisis that`s getting worse all the time. Oil and gas cost more and more. Coal is fuelling global climate change. In Europe especially, people are searching for ways of freeing themselves from the fetters of fossil fuels. And answers to this challenge are being found in the sea, off the coast of the continent – on the islands of Europe. Life here, far from the mainland and major cities, has always meant looking for means of survival. Through their history and mentality islanders are well equipped for mastering the transition to a new energy future. They have always had to cope with restricted space and limited resources and find their own way.
The sun-drenched Canary island of El Hierro has achieved what the whole continent is dreaming of: it produces all its electricity from wind, water and solar energy. The trade winds there are very seldom still, so the Canaries are predestined for wind energy.
