15、k that appeared in the cable last autumnresulted in two months without power,so the island community started looking into abetter way of sourcing their electricity.“Myken is far out at sea,so as far as possible it should be taking care of things itself,”saysKyrre Sundseth,who is a hydrogen(氢)researc

18、onger periods.This means that supplies will not have to rely on a lot of expensivebatteries or external energy sources,even during periods when the sun isnt shining,or the windisnt blowing.The Myken project has attracted several technology companies.They are currently workingon a pilot project.The p
19、ilot involves experiments on the feasibility(可 行 性)of the hydrogensystem in which electricity is generated from solar and wind sources.The electricity can be usedimmediately,but during periods when all the energy generated is not required,the spare energycan be used to split seawater into hydrogen a

21、Myken offers an even greater environmental benefit.Spare heat from thehydrogen system can also be used for the heating part in the distillation process.“In Norway alone there are about 300 islands inhabited all year round by small populations,”says Kyrre Sundseth.“All of these islands may be candida

39、 our fifth and final day,however,this was about to change.Before I went to work on her home on that last morning,I spoke for a moment or two withthe grandmother.I was especially pleased when she told me how much Dakota loved her newroom-so much,in fact,that shed begged to sleep in it the previous ni
