Danish Goal: 50% of Electricity from Wind

Posted by michael on from the american-goal:-100%-of-danish-electricity-from-oil dept.

tres3 writes "The Danes have an ambitious plan of producing 50% of their national electrical needs from wind by 2030. The website has tutorials on everything related to wind energy you can imagine. The index gives you an idea of the detail of the site. It includes land and sea wind turbines as well as details about the machinery needed and where to locate it. There are over 100 pages so I didn't link to them all. [ed. note: thanks] A picture says it all."

    I think that this link will be crucial to their energy plans in the future.

  2. USE less energy goddammit by God_Retired · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    If anyone has ever looked into living off the grid, or trying to get most of their power from solar, wind, bicycle, whatever, you know that the key is to get appliances that use less energy. Not that hard, even given the current US President being in the pocket of the oil companies.

    If I typed a word wrong or dropped some clause, I don't really need to hear about it. It doesn't make you sound smart. It makes you sound like an asshole.

    That's right. Twenty Eight Years from now. Do they have only 2 people working on the project?

    That's like whopping 3 decades. Almost a new generation. This is depressing, considering the technology was already in use since the 70's.

    With the proper funds, a small gov't of 6million could easily deploy a countrywide energy clusters within 5 years. And Denmark is not really a 3rd world nation. They have the sweet cash to accomplish it in 1/3rd of the time.
