Of course, the next problem for the 'Danes is the fact the Fen have not only the technology but the resources for most Green Energy projects sown up already. Fusion power tech from the Fen has already been deployed Down the Well, so I doubt there'll be much public interest in a native version. Plus the fact that the easiest isotopes to use exist in usable quantities only in Fenspace. Solar Power satellites are again a Fen technology at this point (Venus and Mars make extensive use of them). Hydrogen Production can easily fit into the Life Support category of 'Wavetech (fuel and water).
Quite frankly, it's because the Fen aren't dicks (well, mostly) that I see the 'Danelaw governments surviving as well as they are. By about late 2014 I see Fenspace becoming self-sufficient in food (vat growth systems and extremely efficient hydroponics, plus agri-stations), and then all Fenspace needs from is IP and luxury goods. (OK, maybe I'm exaggerating. But Fentech at this point, with the help of the WFC, is more than capable of such things.)
A good public relations blitz by the Fen could have the various 'Danelaw governments being FAR nicer to the Fen, given all they can help solve Down the Well.
OK, rant over. We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.
