Plymouth gets £25m investment in marine research

The article tells about an investment of 25million pounds in a research center in Plymouth (United Kingdom). There’s a need for research in marine engineering, wave energy and science.
Professor Wendy Purcell said that Plymouth should be the location for this excellent research center, because recently, Plymouth began to receive recognition of the entire world.
A minister agreed with which professor Wendy Purcell has said and is very pleased that Plymouth will become the home of an excellent and innovative science center. The minister is also thinking forwards; as he said, this project will create a lot of new employment opportunities for the young people of the city. The investment is not coming from one investor only but from different institutions who want to help financing the project.

I think this is a good investment because with the money they can finance the research for science, wave energy and marine engineering in Plymouth. This is a “green energy”-project, so it doesn’t violate the environment, it’s natural and the source is inexhaustible. It’s also very good for the economy of the city of Plymouth, because this project will create a lot of new jobs and because this is a new project, a lot of young people will get their chance to grow in this project. I think that this is a good start for the environment and that there should be much more of this “green energy”-projects.

    I fully agree with your opinion, it is a very good investment. It is a green energy-project, there are new jobs which are created, so I only see positive arguments. I hope that they are finding new technology very soon and new project in that new research center.

  2. Dear Nicolas,

    I also agree with your point of view. Investing in green energy is the best investment to the future. I also hope that they can find new technologies to develop green energy. Governments should give these research centres full budgetary support. In the long run this investment will be profitable. It is also good news for the local city. This new centre creates new jobs which is in times of crisis very good news.
