The government should triple the number of offshore wind
farms being planned by 2030 in order to maximise profits from green energy,
according to Shell.
The oil and gas giant included the call in its Shell
Election Manifesto, which was sent to MPs earlier this month as the company
looks to set the agenda for next year’s general election, AD reports.
Shell
says the next cabinet should provide for the construction of offshore wind
farms with a total capacity of 5 to 10 gigawatts between 2023 and 2030, which
would require between 1,000 and 2,000 extra windmills using current technology.
Shell said the IJmuiden Ver region, off the North Sea coast near Amsterdam, had
the potential to be turned into a wind farm generating 5 to 6 gigawatts. In the
longer term the company said wind energy could be as big a domestic energy
source as natural gas.
‘High levels of wind, the available space, the proximity
of the market and low seabed depths make the Dutch section of the North Sea a
unique unexploited area for generating energy,’ the manifesto stated.
The
manifesto marks a policy change by Shell, which until recently focused almost
exclusively on fossil fuels. But the problems in the Groningen gas field, where
the government has restricted production because of the growing frequency of
earthquakes, have prompted the company to consider other long-term options.

“… 4 - Energy (again)
The natural resources of the planet are finite and will not support the continuation of what you've been doing. We've been saying this for a decade. Watch for increased science and increased funding for alternate ways of creating electricity (finally). Watch for the very companies who have the most to lose being the ones who fund it. It is the beginning of a full realization that a change of thinking is at hand. You can take things from Gaia that are energy, instead of physical resources. We speak yet; again about geothermal, about tidal, about wind. Again, we plead with you not to over-engineer this. For one of the things that Human Beings do in a technological age is to over-engineer simple things. Look at nuclear - the most over-engineered and expensive steam engine in existence!
Your current ideas of capturing energy from tidal and wave motion don't have to be technical marvels. Think paddle wheel on a pier with waves, which will create energy in both directions [waves coming and going] tied to a generator that can power dozens of neighborhoods, not full cities. Think simple and decentralize the idea of utilities. The same goes for wind and geothermal. Think of utilities for groups of homes in a cluster. You won't have a grid failure if there is no grid. This is the way of the future, and you'll be more inclined to have it sooner than later if you do this, and it won't cost as much…
Water
There is a change of attitude that is starting to occur. Slowly you're starting to see it and the only thing getting in the way of it are those companies with the big money who currently have the old system. That's starting to change as well. For the big money always wants to invest in what it knows is coming next, but it wants to create what is coming next within the framework of what it has "on the shelf." What is on the shelf is oil, coal, dams, and non-renewable resource usage. It hasn't changed much in the last 100 years, has it? Now you will see a change of free choice. You're going to see decisions made in the boardrooms that would have curled the toes of those two generations ago. Now "the worst thing they could do" might become "the best thing they could do." That, dear ones, is a change of free choice concept. When the thinkers of tomorrow see options that were never options before, that is a shift. That was number four.”
Water
We've told you that one of the greatest natural resources of the planet, which is going to shift and change and be mysterious to you, is fresh water. It's going to be the next gold, dear ones. So, we have also given you some hints and examples and again we plead: Even before the potentials of running out of it, learn how to desalinate water in real time without heat. It's there, it's doable, and some already have it in the lab. This will create inexpensive fresh water for the planet.
