Netherlands Will Build A Solar Farm That Will Float On The Ocean

In the Netherlands, there is no space on the land where the government can install the giant solar panels. The land is premium in the country so the cost of building large solar farms is much higher than building them anywhere else in the world. This issue has caused the Netherlands to stay behind in the race as compared to other countries when it came to transitioning to renewable energy. As a solution to this problem, Netherlands is now considering building solar farms on the surface of the ocean. Reuters reported that an offshore seaweed farm will be turned into a floating solar farm in next three years. This way solar-power can be provided in the country.

Before beginning the project properly, a test will be performed. A 30-square meter solar farm about nine miles off the coast of Hague will be the test subject here. The farm will be located between the two offshore wind turbines and connected to the same cables. So the project won’t be needing any extra infrastructure. If the test project is successful and the panels are rugged enough to produce cheap electricity, the farm will be expanded to a full size of 2500-square meters. The project managers are hoping that the solar farm will be finished by 2021.

The solar farms which are offshore instead of being on the land have their own advantages. Apart from saving the land costs, offshore panels receive more sunlight due to lack of obstacles near them. The water acts as a coolant to increase efficiency. So the project doesn’t require a separate coolant. An expert from Utrecht University said that these benefits can improve the solar panel efficiency up to 15%.

China is already using the offshore solar panels and several farms have been built on larger lakes there. However, on the open sea, this will be the first floating solar farm. This will also bring some unique challenges. If the Dutch found a way to overcome those challenges and successfully built a cost-effective solar farm, it will allow the Netherlands and several other countries to increase their power generation using renewable sources in a cheap and efficient way.

Reno Omokri claims these monumental structures in Western countries are "dedicated to satan" then shares biblical passages to back his claim

Reno Omokri shared photos of some structures built in Western countries and alleged that they are dedicated to satan. He then shared biblical passages to back his claim. He shared photos of structures in London, Rome, Washington D.C. and New York and said they are the "Asherah Pole, a pagan idol" which "God detests and warns believers to avoid". He wrotes: 1 Kings 16:33, 2 Kings 23:6, Deuteronomy 16:21, Exodus 34:13 and many other verses of Scripture instruct us that an Asherah Pole is a pagan idol God detests and warns believers to avoid. But what is an Asherah Pole? Google it and check the images that describe it. An Asherah Pole is simply a phallic pole dedicated to satan. Almost all major cities in the West have an Asherah Pole hidden in plain sight!? #TableShaker kk

Enugu-Ezike has common boundaries with Benue and Kogi States of Nigeria. On the North is Ette, a non-Igbo speaking community in Igbo Eze North Local Government Area. On the East is Ofante and Idoma while the North West flank are Amaka and Akpanya communities of Benue State. To the South West is Ibagwa, Alor Agu, Unadu and Itchi. To the South East of Enugu-Ezike are Obollo Afor, Iheaka and Ovoko. Enugu Ezike is renowned for her palm wine, practice of traditional medicine and African Traditional Religion (ATR). As to the origin of Enugu-Ezike, various writers and researchers have come up with varied opinions about that. However, the one that appealed to me most has it that Enugu-Ezike originated from Benin Kingd
