The island will roughly the size of 18 football fields. It is projected to around $34 billion to construct. Much of the energy generated will from wind farms. These will enough electricity to power three million households in Denmark and help the country carbon neutral. The professor that the island had enormous potential to create a greener, cleaner Europe. He said: "In the North Sea, we have tremendous potential for offshore wind, about 180 giga-watts in total.
