energy and environment policies. the implications will be profound on everything from fossil fuel production to climate change policy. my guest today is myron ebell, who led the trump transition team on environment policy and has long been an advocate of radical reform of the federal environmental protection agency. in america s new politics, will the interests of big business consistently trump environmental concern? myron ebell, welcome to hardtalk thanks for having me. let s ask a simple question to start with, in your opinion does the trump presidency represent a fundamental reset of environmental and energy policy in the united states? everything that he has said in the campaign, it seems to me suggests that it is a fundamental reset and that we will be turning a corner and moving to a much brighterfuture. yes, i mean, you obviously have the inside track on this, because you were part of the transition team very much involved with drawing up a roadmap forfuture pol ....
Replace modules and then put them back in. we ve also, over the years, removed more and more components from the system and fit them onshore instead. the less old components you have that could become damaged, it s easier to access it and it s much cheaper also. it s the gravitational pull of the moon and, to some extent, the sun, which gives the tides their rhythm. and unlike wind, solar or hydro, tidal power isn t reliant on weather. while tidal barrages have been around for decades, their cost and the ecological impact has been a barrier. now, from the scottish islands through to canada, a new generation of tech firms have introduced tidal stream turbines. 0cean energy is still largely untapped, so what are the barriers that have prevented it from taking off? it s a relatively small and new industry, so very few machines in the water, and then you have to compete with wind farms and solar pv, etc. we re now addressing a resource ....
That s so much larger, so we re opening up a market that didn t even exist before. if all goes to plan, there could be arrays of subsea kites around the faroe islands, installed in groups similar to wind farms. so this machine here, that s the first utility, or the array device. there will be many of these in parks, orarrays, as you call them, uh, around the world. the faroes aren t connected to any other country s power grid, so it has to be self sufficient. and in the past, it relied heavily on oil imports. now, though, it s going fully green, and this battery station helps to regulate electricity supply. we have the biggest battery, i think, in the danish kingdom. we don t have any subsea cables to neighbouring countries. so we need to maintain the stability of the power system at all points in time on a millisecond level. much of the country s power will come from wind, hydro and solar, ....
