Denmark is going to build its own artificial island

[Mike Wehner]

• The planet desperately needs us to ramp up our clean energy production if we're going to curb climate change fast enough to prevent calamity.
• Denmark, which is is the biggest oil producer in Europe, is attempting to turn the tide, and it now says it will build an entire manmade island that will eventually provide an abundance of clean energy.
• The island, which will be situated roughly 50 miles from the country's coast, will utilize the wind to produce clean electricity that will then be distributed where needed.

The world is warming up and humans are the cause, according to an overwhelming majority of scientists and researchers, and that means it's up to us to stop it. The burning of fossil fuels is one huge contributor to climate change, and clean energy sources that have a much smaller carbon footprint are needed on a large scale if we're going to make any meaningful changes. But where is all of this clean energy going to come from? Denmark seems to have an idea.

In Europe, Denmark provides more oil than any other country, but that's going to change. The country has pledged to stop fossil fuel production within the next 30 years, but that means it's going to need to get its energy from somewhere else. To that end, Denmark has announced plans to build a manmade island off its coast and use it as a clean energy hub, where wind will generate power and be stored for when it's needed.
