  1. Think of buying a 200 mill apartment, and then 10 years later sell if for 250 mill. I recommend NOBODY doing this. It's stupid.

  2. Fish eaters all around the world. Loving Faroe Island caugh fish, that is
    3
  3. that would been indredible, if he could stop saying incredible. Incredible agreeing.
    2
  4. Norway is the world leader in putting electric vehicles on the highways, fueled by their hydro eletric and wind power plants.
    2
  5. Much, much, too small country and few inhabitants, railway would not get enough traffic to be profitable. Short distances, people like to drive to get all the way door to door in a short time. There are buses.
    2
  6. Faroe Island is formally connected to Denmark, but run as an independant country. That said, it is Norwegian companies that build subsea tunnels in Faroe island, as Norway have great knowledge of these kinds of projects
    2
  7. USD is the better known among an international audience
    2
  8.  @MetaFootballTV  Most got knowledge of USD and the relation to their local currency, so the knowledge is there
    2
  9. 15 years downpayment is mentioned typically
    2
  10. apart from the country is gaining money cause of this new infrastructure system in the long run, you are correct. Time = money. Less travel time = more productive time = more money
    2
  11. Out of practical reasons. Tunnel dividing in 2 directions, going to 2 different towns, at different side of a fjord
    2
  12.  @TheRedBaronHP  37 km of underwater tunnels one must say are some gigantic investments for about 6000 people) Nothing but amazing. But I belive the Faroe Island got it all calculated and are in control
    2
  13. They want to be able to drive quickly from their homes to the main island. 400K pile of cash under their beds will not be to any help. It's money from sale of fish that will pay for all the new tunnels and roads, no subsidizing from anyone  @jess_riedel

  14. They murder salmon, sheep, chickens, moose and mouse. Stay. away.
    1
  15. No
    1
  16. Sell enough fish over the next 15 years to pay down loan for the tunnels. Which no problem. Lot's of fish
    1
  17. I've done so to, visiting many small villages) I love touring faroe Island with the Islands top artis, Eivor, singing in in the background, really ads to my experiene. Hope to visit one day

  18. It's always great sitting in front of a keybord, telling people on the other side of the world what is best too them. Thanks.

  19. But is the roundabout place directly under the sea? Hardly not many of them, if any? Karmøy tunnel got one under sealevel, but located under mainland or large island

  20. Fish

  21. or Democrat filibuster. The whole bunch is largely kids fighting in their sandbox.

  22. Such big highway projects are like 70-80% paid for by the users, tollroads. In general almost all income from oil the last 30 years the government have put in a wealth fund, currently owning 1.5% of all puplic traded companies in the world. They'll do alright. 5 million people.
    1
  23. The long crossing south of Bergen, Hordfast, will likely not be a submerged floating tunnel, but a floating bridge. A study report for a floating bridge is expected finished in 2024
    1
  24.  @Gazer75  A submerged floating tunnel, or pipe if you wish, has been evaluated for Hordfast, as shown in the video. A traditional tunnel under the sea bottom is something else, it's not mentioned in this video.

  25. Maintenance and longlivity is all parts of the big calulations. They look at how much will this cost over the next 50 years vs how much will the society save in transport time over the same period. To the business life time=money. That is both transportation of goods and workers. The government pay a part of such projects, but 70%+ is paid by the users of the highway, toll roads.
    1
  26. As we all know, it's toll roads, mostly will be paid by the users..and in the long run save money for the local cities (transportation time is money) On the other hand, too people just travel there now and then, with no big rush, it all seems a waste
    1
  27. To earn more moeny than spent on the tunnel. It's just business. Saved transport time = saved money. Saved Money = earned money. Stupid.
    1
  28. Time is money to the businesses. There are calcualtions less transport time for goods and people, menas more money made. On the other hand, as a tourist or other traveller just visiting now and then, time is not so much of importance.
    1
  29. Inlet/outlets are tens of meters above sea level. There are pumping stations at the bottom of the tunnels, in general, to handle water coming through the ground
    1
  30. How will it improve your life if some thiny island community far away you hardly know where is stop hunting a few hundred of the 100.000 whales surrending them and rather let them die and disapear into the ocean. Zero.
    1
  31. How are things? More people, and companies, settle in smaller towns and islands due to better roads these days?
    1
  32. Millions of people around the world have fish several days aweek. Faroes Island supply fish to the world. Lot's of fish.
    1
  33. Just to inform, this is not southern California. It's Norway. Not near any earthquake zone. Please do your research before making statements.
    1
  34. Yeah, $10 pass when having a annual subscription, which nearly most people will have
    1
  35. Lol...'funded by NATO'...So you are a comedian, or you just have absolutely no clue what you are talking about
    1
  36. Because they like to and can.
    1
  37. a railroad would been too expencive to operate with the low population, spread on different islands and small towns. There are quite many buses, but still that do not suit all people on a regular basis regarding where the buses travels and the time involved.
    1
  38. Comparing the tax rate like that is fun, but does really not give much meaning) Free health care, free higher education, and more, is included in the Faroe Island tax rate
    1
  39. Fish buyers around the world are paying. Not Denmark or the EU. The big picture; less dead time sitting in cars, more time out fishing giving more export income. It all ads up, minutes and hours saved, every day, for decades to come
    1
  40.  @TheRedBaronHP  Not all countries got a costline)
    1
  41. Issues with getting too steep grades. Longer total length, long curved tunnels in order to stay under a certain grade. Higher costs. If that island was supposed to have road connection in the frst place, it would been different.
    1
  42. They just don't care about fancy sports arenas, opera houses, they care first of all about getting quickly with car around the islands. Infrastructure is highly important, these tunnels ads value to the country in the long run
    1
  43. 2 tunnels, more like 400 mill in total, not 500. 300 vehicles is for the southern tunnel to be finished in 2023. The tunnel with the roundabout is in operation, got 4500-5000 vehicles a day. 15 years down payment. Anyway, a big big investment for tat small country. But the government are quite frugal in general, no big fancy opera houses, sports stadiums and such, it's on infrastructure they but a most of their investment

  44. Coming from a person thinking every morning, going from the bed to the bathroom 'something will go horrible wrong. I'll better stay in bed' Alright, thanks for your input, 'Optimistic Joe':) Sometimes one have to take chances in life.
    1
  45. One aim for max 5% incline/decline on such main roads. It happens stretches of underwater tunnells is up to 7-8%, but they try to avoid if not a big cost factor involved
    1
  46. They usual do actually, no problem. But they usually do not make up for the emissions let out to manufacture and put them up, but that's another issue, and possible what you have heard. Of course there can be cases where they do not make enuogh money initially, but they are needed for 'no emmission power' in an area, and the society just have to take the extra cost
    1
  47. The project is financed mostly by loans from different european banks, and a smaller amount from the Faroe Island government
    1
  48. From banks and other sources of money. But they end up needing to deliver the money back, pluss interests, during the 15 years after they steal them.
    1
  49. The whole Earth and life going on there is a bait for a big metor to hit it, and everybody dies. But so far so good. Disasters happens now and then, but in between, enjoy life, day by day, not worry about disasters
    1
  50. The drivers using the tunnel system pays it down over a period of about 15 years. Saves much travel time for both private and companies, which is a big plus to the overall economy in the long run.
    1
  51. When it got a crossroad, another tunnel going from the main tunnel in another direction
    1
  52.  @joneeikemo5260  Where?
    1
  53. In Faroe Islands the best and least expencive in the long run is underground tunnels.
    1
  54. Pilot whales and dolphins are much smarter than humans. They would never come back to the same islands every year when they just are being killed. Must be cod your are speaking about.
    1
  55.  @MetaFootballTV  I would more say 'lazyness' ) Viewers in Europe have better have a relation to Euro and USD, knowing that are about equal, while other parts of the world more aware of USD as a foregin currency. I guess you might prefered British pounds being used, since the channel is UK based. He might think he don't want to bother' his international viewers by having them look up a currency calc ) I don't think it's a big deal. Those who are really interested in what the amounts will be in their currency will look it up quickly, while many will just take note 'oh it's a high amount of money' and do not think more about it
    1
  56.  @MetaFootballTV  Heaven knows what your point was. Lack of knowledge? There is no point in knowing all major currencies of the world by heart...one just look it up if needed. Why bother viewers looking up currencies when one just can use a curency they already know well. My conclusion is the channel can use whatever currency they want, without any questions asked. No problem.
    1
  57. There are ferries on these crossings today, but they want to replace it with bridges/tunnels. It's the local cities and businesses that push on for this development, wanting to save some travel time and money in the long run.
    1
  58. Some of this is early ideas, but in general it's under construction now, planned finished around 2030. The underwater pipe will not be, but a floating bridge instead. Too tourists and other travelrs who are not in a hurry there are other roads along the coast. The main highway is first of all for businesses transporting goods, and people getting to work, and others that are in a hurry) Time = money' in many cases.
    1
  59. not any bigger issue with earthquakes in Faroe Island. But I'm sure it has been incoperated well in all calcualtions, concrete walls and so on
    1
  60. Fish. A lot of fish. The islands and population is pretty small, but the surrounding ocean area that is a part of the island is very large compared
    1
  61. Bulind the tunnels that save a lot of traveltime, like 50% in many cases, to both private trips, driving to work and for companies is an investment in the country's economic, not an cost.
    1
  62. Infrastructure is an investment into the future. Much of it is built, possible completed withing the next 10 years. there will be no submerged pipes, but roadway floating on pontoons
    1
  63. Ever heard about electric cars? Driving on roads? Norway is likely the leader in getting more and more eletric cars on the roads, hydrogen vehicles and so on.
    1
  64. It's all a big calcualtion, money save in transport time of goods and workers over so and so many decades, vs building and maintenance costs. It wold not have been built if it was not a good investment.
    1
  65. Don't think thay have asked for your support in the first place? They manage fine by themselves
    1
  66. So large focus at some hundred whales killed a year, while the about 1 million other whales in the north atlantic that are not involved in any hunting, nobody cares about at all. Probably not any money in it.. Why not praise, loveand spend time with all of the whales living 'normal lifes'. I do not get these people.
    1
  67. Train is not very economical solution in a country like Norway, so no new lines are planed. Few people, not very urbanized, long distances, rough terrain. Endless number of studies have been done.
    1
  68. One get a loan and the users of the tunnels pay it back in 15 years. This is possible when the tunnels are seeing a lot of use and traffic, big time saving, lots of cizens and companies using it jointly pays it down. Other infrastructure projects can be cheaper to build, but on the other hand have issues getting enough traffic/income and having higher maintenance costs and so on
    1
  69. Rough nature conditions, deep waters, long stretches, high mainenence costs compared to tunnels. Tunnels in this location is to most profitable in the long run
    1
  70. The tunnel with the roundabout is about 140 mill usd, another one further south is 110 mill. These are the newest ones, built around 2020. 2 older undersea tunnels are built in the past. 500, or 700 mill as is mentioned in the video must be for all tunnels in the islands, many onshore included. But many of these tunnels have been built 20-40 years ago. anyway, lots of money for a small nation. Guess infrastructure is where they spend most of their money, and put less into fancy sports arenas, opera houses and such
    1
  71. Fish
    1
  72. Fans in the tunnel ceilings, taking fresh air in via the tunnel entrances, on and off as needed
    1
  73. More efficient roads/infrastructure is not a spending, it's an investment. (time is money in transporting goods and workers) Please do your research before making statements.

  75. Ever heard about 'banks'?

  76. No country and culture are as perfect as other cultures would wish them to be. The whale hunting draws relatively much extra attention because it's so visual and in the open compared to other kinds of hunting. It is not done for fun. the people love this food and always eaten their self-harested seafood. One should generally be careful trying to force other countries and cultures to change into something one as an outsiders like better. History is full of wars and conflicts. There are things one do not like and makes one feel bad, but it's not always reason good enough to force points of views onto another cultures. Most countries have more than enough internal issues that should be improved, before pointing fingers at others vaults. If there where any particular danger of the whales going extinct, and the whale population suffering too much, they would not been allowed the hunting. But they got the right to do the hunting, within the limits when it comes to numbers. The world will never be perfect, sometime it's better to not look and think too much about things one do not like, and better focus at positive things in life. there will still be lots of films spread on the internet, much because of rich donors wanting to change things into what pleases them more, putting a lot of money into showing it. I'm not from the island and have no interest in hunting.

  77. with the help of the 100.000.000 fishes) All forces pullying together makes wonders.
    1
  78. The suspended underwater tunnel was one of the ideas. Think they now want to go for a 'floating bridge' on that crossing
    1
  79. Construction is ongoing. The underwater pipe was just one of the early suggestions. Will be a floating bridge there, with a section of high suspension bridge in one end to let ships through. Planned constructed 2025 to 2030
    1
  80. Trains are on a totally different level to purchase and operate, vs buses and cars. Too few people to make a train economical
    1
  81. Buy paying down the loan for it over 15 years.
    1
  82. Not much ecosystem going on in the mountain under the seabed. Not worry about it. Now the cars have much shorte travel time, use less gas, and ferries not needed
    1
  83. Why does it need explanation? It's a round circle, concrete used, asphalt
    1
  84. Fish
    1
  85. Main islands are limited size. They want people to live on all the bigger islands and quickly go back and forth to work and shopping on the main islands
    1
  86. Tunnel splits, going to 2 towns, on each side of a fjord
    1
  87. One go there first of all because of the nature. some people just do not understand)
    1
  88. So starting driving from the southern tip of Norway, one are still in the south coming to Trondheim, one have not moved towards north at all? Too most of the world south of Trondheim, Trondheim is in the north. There is a difference between 'to the north' and 'Northern Norway', right ?)
    1
  89. Not the best solution technically/economically in Faroe Island
    1
  90. It's in Norway the company got it's underwater expertice, it's norwegians that mainly are sent to these projects. Not a swede around. Sorry. @MrFelixify

  91. Here we go again........Have a nice day sir, and stay healthy.
    1
  92. It was just a part of the early suggestions. Think they now look mostly at a floating bridge, with a high suspension bridge in one end for boats to pass
    1
  93. Less dead time in a car = more time fishing, among else, = more $$$$$$
    1
  94. You live there and know the detailed numbers?
    1
  95. It's not 'spending', it's called 'investing in the country's economic development'. They make money on the tunnels and the high saving on traveling time for workers, companies and so on.
    1
  96. The inhabitants and companies at the different Faroese islands have a much stronger need and wish to get quickly around to the neighbouring islands than people in Irland and UK mainland got) Not economically interesting enough
    1
  97. The submarine guy
    1
  98. Fish sales

  99. Sorry, Gods assistent, have mercy. Will be used enviromental friendly concrete. Please tell him.

  100. ask mommy to make a little roundabout on the bedroom floor, and drive matchbox car around it to illustrate and get your imagination kickstarted. Ususally works
    1
  101. Roundabout directly under the sea bottom
    1
  102.  @TheRedBaronHP  oh
    1
  103. Much too few people and small distances. One like to be transported directly 'door to door' in one go, both people and goods. Train would been not been a good economical solution here. Would not see enough use. There are buses.
    1
  104. Design and workforce sourced from outside, mainly Norway, Sweden, Denmark. The construction work manily done by Norwegians, who are among the leaders on underwater tunnels
    1
  105. Fish.
    1
  106. Hurt feelings bigly
    1
  107. They have planted a few small forrests, parks. Need to fence everything in, or the sheep eat it. Guess they do not bother too much
    1
  108. are you a whale
    1
  109. Fish. They got an enormous ocean area relatively to the area of the islands and number of people
    1
  110. Used to build new roads outside the tunnels, industrial/storage areas. they have a plan up front for the use of it, where cities, communities, companies applies for rock, 'we would like xxxx tons of rocks for our x & y projects, or as much as you can spare'
    1
  111. Some like to spend the money on beer and parties, others on tunnels. I say let them do whatever they like
    1
  112. Pensions funds can invest in obligations among else, which are loans to larger companies and countries
    1
  113. Too all of the world south of Trondheim, Tronheim is in the north. Facts should not piss off anyone
    1
  114. LOL...you have absolutely zero insight into the total calcualtions here, but still feels to make a statement) Well, hope making your statement helped make you feel better.
    1
  115.  @eckpolmick5080  You come with statements, but nothing to back them up. But not bother. Put out statements that makes you fill better. I am the King of Norway, by the way.

  116. The underwater floating pipe was just one of several suggestions. They will most likely go for a floating bridge at that crossing, with a stretch of high suspension bridge in one end for ships to pass. Planned being built 2025 to 2030.
    1
  117. Less dead time sitting in cars driving, more time fishing and giving the country export income. The big picture.
    1
  118. No. But for a growing population, as Faroe Island, it's fine. 30K in 1950, 53K 2022, 68K 2100
    1
  119. Something like 7000-10000 vehicles a day
