三蘇島是位於丹麥第二大城-歐湖斯外海的一個小島

全島從南島北總長僅有27公里﹐而最狹宰的地方僅寬8公里

島上人口只有4200-4300 人左右

島上學校教育有限

因此每個小孩到了15 歲左右就得離開此島到丹麥第二大城-歐湖斯繼續求學

當然就像台灣的偏遠地區或鄉下地區的人民一樣

這些人通常就不再來島上了

所以島上的居民裡大部份是較年長的人及老人家

其餘的大約有800個小孩子及1000位較年輕的勞動者

 

Samsø is a small which near Denmark's second biggest city, Århus. It has 27 km from north to south and the narrowest width is only 8 km. There are only 4200-4300 people on the island. Because there are no higher educaiton schools or universities, therefore, all the kids have to leave the island to Århus for the further education after 15 or so. They are not returning back to the island, just like the people who live in the country side in Taiwan. Most of the residents are elderly people. Other than those, there are about 800 kids and 1000 younger people who has real job on the island.

 

三蘇島原本以當地的特有小品種馬鈴薯而著名

但自1997年起被丹麥命名為再生能源島 (Renewable Energy Island)

就從那時起短短十年內此島便以再生能源提供島上所有能源而著名

現今﹐它的風力提供了三蘇島全島100%的電力

並且島上70%的熱能來自再生能源

三蘇導有其自己的能源辦公室可以提供公司及住家有關再生能源的解決方法及節約能源的一些忠告

目前島上有一些研究計劃正在進行

包括像利用油菜子所產生的油提供交通運輸及利用燃燒大象食用的草來產生熱力

而三蘇能源學院更具有太陽能及雨水循環系統以為來訪者做示範

整個島上所有社區的熱力系統都依賴像稻草﹐太陽能板及木片等再生能源

此外﹐位於三蘇海還有一座風力場每年能產生足夠的電力提供2000個家庭所需能源

加上一座路上風場可以提供600個家庭的需求

在三蘇島南部外海有10 座風車每年可以運送更乾淨的電力到丹麥本島的蓄電板

而其所運送的電力遠超過島上的交通運輸﹐包括三艘渡輪的交通運輸使用

也難怪三蘇島的特有再生能源在近幾年已經吸引了世界各地大大小小的媒體前來採訪

 

Samsø was originally famous by its potatoes, but it was named "renewable energy island" since 1997, and within 10 years became self-sufficient in renewable energy. Today, wind turbines provide 100% of Samsø's electricity, similarly 70% of heating comes from renewable energy sources. The island has its own energy office, where companies and householders can receive advice on renewable energy solutions and saving energy. Currently, there are a number of research projects on Samsø, where rapeseed oil is used for transport and elephant grass for heating. Samsø Energy Academy has solar heating, solar power cells and recycled rainwater systems, that are used as demonstrations for visitors. All Samsø's community heating systems are based on renewable resources, such as straw, splar panels and woodchips. A single wind turbine in Samsø's sea wind farm produces enough energy each year to power 2000 households. A land-based turbine can power 600 households. The 10 wind turbines in the sea south of Samsø send more clean electricity every year to the mainland grid than the island uses on transport, including the three ferries. No wonder Samsø's renewable energy system has attractive many different medias came for interview from the world in recent years.

 

很難想象這樣的一個島竟能夠產生自己所需的能源

且都來自天然資源

而且還能夠有多餘的能源可以賣給丹麥政府

我自己真的學習到許多有關於再生能源的的知識

也讓我認識了這麼特別的一個島

真的很漂亮的一個島嶼

而且島上居民也很純樸

我看到了他們的快樂和與世無爭的生活

雖然島上居民只有4200多人並不算多

但你相信他們幾乎每個人都認識彼此嗎?

能夠認識島上所有4200多位居民也算多了吧!

有誰一生認識這麼多人的??

我還與當地的一位德國老太太了了一下

她和他先生可是因為曾經來過三蘇島後就愛上它了

所以他們便移民到此

就連在島上採訪當天下午為我們開車服務的Anne 和她先生也是因為來此旅行後

愛上了三蘇島

於是他們便在兩年前決定般到島上居住

而且Anne還告訴我他們應該會就此定居終生了

如果是你

你有這種勇氣嗎?

我想有機會的話我一定要再來拜訪這個島

並好好欣賞它的美

 

Personally, it is hard for me to believe how can an island produces all the needed energy from nature sources. Besides, they can have even more energy than what they need and sale to Danish government. I really have learnt a lot new knowledge about renewable energy myself from the trip. I also got a chance to get to know this special island. It is really a beautiful island and the people on the island are so pure and natural. I saw their true happiness without fighting for something like most of ordinary people. Although there are only about 4200 people, can you imigine and believe that each of them actually know each other. Is there anyone of us have known so many people like them in our lives?? I had a chance to talk to an old Gernman lady. She and her husband moved to here because they love the island after one trip to Samsø many many years ago. Also, the lady, Anne who had helped us on the day when we were interviewing people, herself moved here about 2 years ago with her husband. The reason they moved here is actually exactlly the same as the German lady that I talked to. They falled in love with Samsø after one trip and then they decided to move here 2 years ago. Anne even told me that they will just live on the island for good til the end. Do you have such encouragement like them? I doubt myself though. However, I would love to come back and visit this island again if I have a chance and I will surely to look at its beautiful more carefully.
