It's very interesting to compare the price of the Faroese tunnels with the cost of the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024.
For less than one billion dollars, the Faroese are building infrastructure that will serve 95 percent of their population for decades to come. The Paris Games cost ten times as much to brainwash the French population during a few weeks and enrich companies that bring well-being to no one.
The Faroese can be proud of themselves. They are an example of sustainable management for the whole planet.
They are proud of their country and like to show it to visitors. In 22, I was in Norðradalur, a large village (10 inhabitants!) facing the Koltur Island (2 inhabitants plus some twenty sheep). When one of the locals saw my car registration number, he realized I was a foreigner. So he invited me to drink a tea so he could write on a sheet of paper what was interesting to be seen in his tiny village. Only in the Faroes do you get such a friendly welcome.
They are able to do this because there isn't that many people living there
The price for the tunnels seemed quite good (in my opinion) and where the money comes from to these investments was also clear, but I don't get how they manage to pay it back, when some of the tunnels seem to be barely used.
Is it just subsidised by the government (as public investment)?
This is absolutely amazing 😎
I’m impressed! But more impressed they are able to borrow money as a county and they actually pay it off in a timely manner, the same as expected by everyday people. ❤ 🎉 amazing
If somehow, someway that I could get a little Forrest and a Lake or two there id move from 🇨🇦❤
17:43 101%?
Wow. Amazing what they have done. and well told.
Best Tom Scott video I’ve ever seen
amazing documentary, as always! <3
Everybody in my home country of Austria knows the name Färöer since a team of fishermen, shepherds, teachers and postmen beat our national football team 1:0 in 1990, and scored a 1:1 in the qualifying round of the football world championship in 2008. Truly our Austrian football divas' greatest nemesis 🤣
Just don't invite nuisance streamers/youtubers
That shot of you on the boat…
The water and surrounding land was stunning!!!
Besides that, I'd love to live out my life where the government does its job, it's surrounded by beauty and the ocean, no crime and small communities…
A fabulous place to retire.
Fascinating story. Well done documentary.
Ahh yes, The Nordics are amazing people capable of many things. Only wish they would have more children though.
23:44 🤔 now there’s a reason to visit
I’m going to visit. What an amazing place. Drink up those incredible views
Kudos to the Faroe Islands and the taxpayers of Denmark to invest in their communities. For Americans reading this and think is was cheap, the 11Km tunnel translates as $29 million USD per mile, That is not cheap by any measure for a single two lane tunnel but not outrageous either. Every tunnel project is incredibly different unless in the same area. Great project, great execution congrats to all on their success.
man this place is so beautiful i would love to live here but i imagine they don't like americans much
Are UK residents aloud to retire here ?
On such a small land masses how did they dispose of the turbine blades etcetera when they have exceeded their service life? Nobody ever talks about that. Let me guess they send them to China to be recycled then China dumps them into the Pacific.
👍
Is this a repost? Or am I suffering from the mandela effect?
Who financed that?
Magnificent natural beauty, magnificent tunnels, magnificent film. Very cool!
Fun fact: "Fresh air" is a myth
can someone tell me what the name of the background music at the end of the video is? thanks
Now just imagine the Danish government forcing five thousand Somalians and other third world people on the community.
That's what the UK and other European governments have done to communities that were no less lovely that this one.
I feel like I owe it to the Faroese people to visit their country and contribute to their GDP because of the outstanding human achievement behind these tunnels.
Next: An underwater roundabout with three exits. Scotland, Norway and Iceland 🤯
4:35
A self governing part of the Danish *Kingdom*, not of *Denmark*.
The difference is essentially the same as saying that Scotland is a self governing part of the UK and not England.
Legally the difference isn't that big.
But the Faero Islands where never a part of the unification of Denmark or of Danish culture, being a separate ethnic group with closer ties to Norway and Iceland then to Denmark.
So in terms of identity it matters a lot.
Just a Scot wouldn't like anyone claiming that they're living in England a Faeroese wouldn't like you claiming that they're living in Denmark…
Now, if they could just stop slaughtering whales please…
The place is so so clean and beautiful
20% GDP FISHING IS NOTHING (TO BE) PROUD OF..
This is wakanda
Norway 🇳🇴 has done all what you've seen here on a much larger scale. 🏆 🇳🇴
My big question about this is why roads? Why not run a trainline through those tunnels for even more eco-friendly fast mass transit?
