Towering wind turbines don’t immediately stand out as unusual on a continent where such machines are becoming part of the landscape. But these were built on sites peppered with bomb shelters, and under the wail of air raid sirens.The Ukrainian energy company DTEK on Friday hit a milestone in the war-torn nation’s audacious bid to remake its energy economy and become a clean power hub for Europe.
But pursuing the transition while the country and its power grid are under constant attack is a colossal challenge. Compounding the difficulty, many of Ukraine’s country’s best sites for producing renewable energy are in or near Russian occupied territory. “Every project they are able to build in Ukraine tells investors, ‘this is possible. Don’t write us off,’” Cahill said.
A modest DTEK solar farm in the Kherson region which was partially destroyed by shelling and looting from the Russian military was able to get repaired and back online quickly after the Ukraine military retook control of the area in October. The solar panels, in the village of Tryfonivka, are powering a makeshift transmission line while engineers work to rebuild the local power station, which was completely destroyed.
Hope they do better then New Jersey. Dead whales are washing up on our beaches from the offshore wind farms.
What a great idea! Can’t imagine this will end poorly. Where’d the money come from btw?
Great idea. Ukrainians are geniuses at public relations. They all speak in soundbites and they know “clean energy” will attract funding. Slava Ukraini
Hahahahahaha
I do t know if I must laugh or cry.. this is dismally absurd and depressing.. why is media even publishing such stuff to provoke anger in people ? Or anxiety and sadness?
All fake news .Ukraine is destabilise long ago and Zalensky is in hiding inside drainage system from where President Saddam was sent by NATO soldiers . Hail Saddam
Paid by US, that's just CRAZY news.. How twisted? Are they not in a war? WTF?
Ukraine will become whatever Russia wants them to become regardless of your 8 year efforts and wasted billions. MTFKRS! The sooner you get it, the better chances for you too to survive Armageddon!
This just became just the 🤡 show of the century. Grab your PopCorn! .95c
Their in a war!!!! How is this even a story?
What a joke. Ask Barisma, look at Germany.
Russia will hit that thing as soon as it’s up and spinning
👀
Bah hahahaha 😂😂😂 Putin will have fun blowing these up! Building wind farms while wars going on! Yeah right! 😡
Better things than windmills to spend the billions they've begged for....
Hahahaha
Ukraine is thumbing its nose at Maslow’s theory on hierarchy of needs ! Victor Frankl wiill be pleased!
Lol
They just don’t know what to do with all of my money. They’ve run out of things to buy with my taxes
Fake
They won’t pay for their own defense but hey Russia thanks you for prioritizing wind over defense!
With what money 🫢🫢🫢
LOL!
Ukraine doesn't know how to steal more money. The EU doesn't know how to launder more money. It's simple really.
Reconstruction already underway by the WEF
Bangsa yang kuat bukan karena militerisasinya.tapi karena mereka memiliki sistem pertanian yang kuat kuat dan strategis dalam investasi dan kerjasama tehnologi dg bangsa yang lain.hubungan simbiosa mutualisma yang menguntungkan.
Hopefully Russia takes that out too and defeats Biden's goons.
Bahahaha
They have enough money to bank roll it thanks to the US
The white supremacy hub of Europe and the clean energy hub of Europe at same time. What a fascinating combination.
Who in the hell builds a wind farm in the middle of a war with American taxpayer money?
Denmark has windturbine it wants to sell you.
😂😂😂
With our Money!!
Glad AOC and the WaPo have their Green New Deal partner, while our inner-cities are destroyed with crime and poverty. Well done, team Soros.
Literally amazing!
Of course, built in the image of the WEF.
It will be much harder for Russians to destroy dozens of wind turbines with Russian missiles. Better for stable electricity supply.
No wonder Republicans have been wanting to pull support. Leaving Ukrainians reliant on a war damaged nuclear power plant is typical 21st century compassionate conservatism.
With U.S. taxpayers money?
Wonderful for Ucrania!!
Ukraine wants to become a clean energy hub for Europe OH NO TELL ME BIDEN ISN'T GIVING MONEY FOR THAT TOO
Are you f'ing kidding me? This is ludicrous.
I guess they don't need billions of dollars from us after all. Time to end the free ride.
That should work fine. There won't be anyone left in Ukraine when Russia is done with it!
Lol
insanity ...
The scam deepens
Love to see my tax dollars building giant bird killing windmills for the notsees
It’s always a good time to build ugly bird choppers
Burisma energy
That's one way of laundering the money.
With money meant for guns
How about win the war first or negotiate a treaty.
Wait, you people don't get your priorities straight. Stop the conflict first, my dear Democrat journalists.
I wonder what realDonaldTrump thinks about this...
Not even ginned up wars can stop Big Green Inc from grifting and globalist crony crapitalist intrigue.
Fake war
With our taxpayer $$.
