rising oil prices, the environment and the rise of the electricty superstate.
High electric prices caused by high oil prices and concern for the environment are already causes alot of construction to take place place in the alternative fuel market. Hydro-electric is a clean source of electricity that is already creating a huge export for Canada. Many companies that are in the alternative electricity market are listed in Canada including many geo-thermal companies. Not only is geo-thermal taking out alot of capacity in central America but it is so plentiful in some areas that it can create low population battery like countries that fuel much larger markets.
One such country is st. kits and Nevis. The islands are in talks to develop geo-thermal to replace oil type plants are will have so much energy that their country could not possibly use it all so they are talking to the u.s. virgin islands about building an underwater electricity cable to supply them and Puerto Rico. It is not that far fetched that the interconnections would include the British Virgin Islands as well through an interconnection with Puerto Rico.
Iceland is hoping that it's vast geo-thermal and hydro electric potential could power Great Britton and/or Norway through undersea cables possibly through the Faroe Islands. Although the population of the Faroe Islands may be to small to justify the expense. Iceland will not be competing with oil so much and will require the concern global warming, pollution or geo-political concerns to justify the expense. Look for the electricity superstate to be up there in wealth with some of the oil producers in the future.
