Glowing Plant | Seeds European super grid A conceptual plan of a European super grid linking renewable energy projects like DESERTEC & Medgrid across North Africa, the Middle East and Europe and could serve as the backbone for the hypothetical supersmart grid. The European super grid is a possible future super grid that would ultimately interconnect the various European countries and the regions around Europe's borders – including North Africa, Kazakhstan, and Turkey. – with a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power grid.[1] It is envisaged that a European super grid would:[1] Proposed schemes[edit] The most comprehensive study has been carried out by Dr Gregor Czish, of Kassel University.[2][3] His study optimised a vast grid covering North Africa, Eastern Europe, Norway, and Iceland. A number of other specific schemes have been proposed to create super grids of varying extent within Europe.

Solar-Powered Floating Island The citizens living off the Han River in Seoul, South Korea inaugurated the world’s largest floating island just last week with great excitement! With two more islands slated to open in September, the recently opened Viva is already drawing crowds en masse with its first-rate entertainment complex. The stunning structure includes a 700 seat convention hall, restaurants and arcades — all powered by solar energy. When the development is completed, the trio of islands will be linked together by twenty-three weather-proof chains. Seoul’s man-made islands differ from those common to Dubai, which are constructed by building up sand on the ocean floor. Supported by 24 giant airbags, Viva weighs in at 2,000 tons, but can support building facilities up to 6,400 tons. The $83.9 million dollar government project includes the 35,000 square foot Viva, 15,000 square foot Vista and nearly 4,000 square foot Tera. Via Korea Joongang Daily
