24673 - Strategic Energean Crete

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

Crete is preparing her future strategically in relation to energy.
It has realized that the politics and the economy, without energy and strategy are doomed to remain void and without a range.
Additionally Crete also obtains another two pillars: tourism and olive oil production.
Consequently, there is an energean need, and of a sort which should be environmentally friendly.
In other words, it must be green energy.
In this context, it is important for us to realize how important the role of Crete is, in regards to the future of the entire Greece as a whole, due to its geostrategic, topostrategic, and chronostrategic position within the Eastern Mediterranean.
Crete doesn’t only constitute an energean passage, but an energean source as well.
The EuroAsia Interconnector net, and the East Med pipeline, which are both programs belonging to the PCI, of the European Commission, along with the nine marine plots of the Greek EEZ, provide enormous potentials for the future.
The fact that the EuroAsia Interconnector will begin in 2017, with a view to reach completion in 2020, is indicative of the implementation process.
Therefore, those who even now don’t believe in the developments, either because their noosphere does not incorporate these new data, or because they don’t want to accept the bare facts as they have other interests, they will be forced to come face to face with reality.
Simultaneously we must as from now think about the national natural gas network, so as for that to be able supply the residents in order for them to save energy, and the industrial areas in order for them to reduce the production of environmental pollutants.
