Yep, 50% of ELECTRICITY from wind by 2020. but 35% of ENERGY from renewables. clearly, electricity isn’t Denmark’s Achilles heel

The world has gone through such a long period of non-leadership that it is refreshing when somebody (anybody) actually does something. What we need to do is repay the complement by embracing our own leadership challenges. Lets build retail outlets that only buy / sell products from nonpolluting countries like Denmark and Scotland.

And the US national energy calls for what percents in 20202 and 2050? Oh wait we don’t have a national energy plan; except the one that Bush had the Oils companies write durig his term.

That makes much more sense, in other words wind power production is expected to double in the next 8 years. (12.5% annual growth) Well done Denmark.

Thx, Your comment led me to dig a bit more. Found some conflicting statements about just what percentage of Denmark’s electricity wind energy is to supply by 2020…50% of total electricity consumption is stated on the Ministry’s own website…

“Wind energy currently supplies 25% of Denmark’s electricity, and it’s expected to supply 50% of the 35% 2020 target”

Um! That’s a DECREASE ! Now 25% and 17.5% in 2020.?
