The healthy mushrooms before beyond reach of the majority of the consumers are now available fresh and abundantly requiring much less transportation. When the global supply chain of food implies that up to 90 percent of all the value added generated in the supermarkets is spent on transportation, now hardly any transportation is required, costs are reduced, margins are improved and prices to the consumer are lowered. ]]> 2016-11-21 10:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/EnergyMOOC/energyinspace/wish/139032411 Challenge landscape 2070 https://padlet.com/EnergyMOOC/energyinspace/wish/139032827  (Dutch)

The Agricultural areas of the peninsula have changed their function, some combine the Energy with agriculture creating "agroenergy" landscapes, others have changed totally their function becoming totally energetic, in this case they are created "energy landscapes", another place where you can establish the energies renewable areas are in wooded areas, in this case spaces are formed "Silvoenergéticos".
The current agglomeration of spaces dedicated to renewable energy, mainly in rural areas, since the factors areas invite more to this location than to a location in urban areas.

As in the Netherlands, windmills have become tourist attractions and do not serve the purpose for which they were created.

However, as they have a beautiful architecture and a beautiful harmony with the landscape, they have become tourist places.]]> 2016-11-22 10:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/EnergyMOOC/energyinspace/wish/139305343 j_saopedro74 https://padlet.com/EnergyMOOC/energyinspace/wish/139332234 Termoelectric central of Sines in Portugal, runs on coal

Most of these panels are stuck on traditional looking roofs of tile or slate. The example here is an attempt to integrate the panels into the roofscape, and it looks better than the standard solutions which look stuck on and out of character with the local architecture.

This is not a technical or a spatial problem, but an architectural one.

This resulted in deposits of coal, iron ore, limestone and fireclay being exposed, which enabled the rapid economic development of the area during the early Industrial Revolution. A good example of a generation one industrial landscape.  Such industry is no longer a feature of this area - there are modern industrial estates nearby and even the local coal powered power station has been closed down - although the world famous Merrythought teddy bear factory still exists. The area is a World Heritage site and many local jobs rely on the tourist industry. Most inhabitants work outside the gorge.  Transition Town Telford is redeveloping a small permaculture garden in the gorge and also holds an annual gardening event - sharing skills to encourage people to grow their own food.
