“Build them at Sea”
New Energy for the world

2. Chris Westra (1949) has been involved in the development of wind energy for some 50 years. He did 20
years of research on the introduction of sun and wind energy at the University of Amsterdam. He wrote
several books, articles and brochures on wind energy. At the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands,
ECN, now TNO, he developed and led the first integrated R&D program offshore wind energy (We@Sea)
from 2004 until 2010. Now he is working with leading parties to get a multi-functional, ecologically sound
energy island on the Dutch part of the North Sea done as soon as possible.

3. Offshore wind energy is becoming one of our most important sources of energy. In
recent years there have been tremendous advances in the technology that makes it
possible to generate electricity at sea on a large scale. This book will take you to the
sea, the ports and the factories and, with many photos and illustrations, will show
from many angles what is involved in the construction of a wind farm and which
companies are involved. It is fascinating to see how fast developments have gone
and what the future looks like, because we are only at the beginning! Wind turbines
are getting bigger and taller than the Eiffel Tower, being built further out to sea and
even placed on floating structures on the ocean. In the future, wind turbines will do
their work entirely automatically, producing hydrogen that will be carried to a
collection point by robotic submarines. The seas will become energy fields and this
will go hand in hand with new nature and food production.
