European Tribune - Comments - Flexicurity, the Danish model and the welfare state

Flexicurity, the Danish model and the welfare state | 26 comments (26 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

The masts already there - do you mean the telegraph lines? But catenary needs something stronger, and with a given spacing. Also, the copper itself, and the electrical substations are important cost factors. But anyway, if Switzerland could electrify 100%, so can Denmark.

Re: Nitpick continues alert (4.00 / 2)

I mean the mast you hang the lines in. Dunno what they're called, but if you look out the window when you go by train in Jylland, you'll see that there are poles next to the track that look suspiciously like there ought to be wires hanging on them - which is because there ought to be, but for some reason the wires never got up...
