It seems that Trump is more close to opportunism rather than a man who really prefers anti-globalization. This article addresses to one topic I’ve been interested in for a long period.  Has Trump used his influence, which might be invisible, to make a profit for his families and corporations? The answer to this question might be yes as a spectacular amount of evidence in this article. However, there is another question. How many “transactions” are legally? How many of them stand in grey area by treacherously using loopholes of the law? Is this invisible type of “money-power” transaction quite common in international society?

The Danish company, Dong Energy, just installed 32 wind turbines off the coast of Liverpool, England. Wind turbines face criticism on land as being an eye sore, so they’re increasingly being installed off-shore by multinational companies like Mitsubishi, GE, Siemens, and Dong Energy. This intersection of energy and infrastructure, coastlines, and land involve regional, state, local, and corporate actors.

Off-shore wind energy is a growing source of renewable energy as technology improves and costs decline, attracting investors from global banks like Goldman Sachs to pension funds like PensionDanmark. The geography of Britain, Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands are prime areas for off-shore wind turbines. If these developments continue, Northern Europe will continue its leadership role in implementing renewable energy sources across borders.
