As thousands of political leaders and environmental scientists gather at the climate change summit this week, we ask – is Denmark the shining green example it seems to be?
Denmark is the world leader in wind technology, with a third of the wind turbine industry worth tens of billions of dollars. ““Because the energy in the wind is higher on sea than on land, you can get more energy out of the wind.,” says power engineer Katrine. Whether the rest of the world will adopt Denmark’s policies remains to be seen, but the green arm-wrestling which will take place here this week, will surely affect the future of us all.

Funny how they are so green but they are an exporter of fossil fuels.
Congratulations on great success from Bangladesh.
Pathetic bunch of serfs. They ride around on bicycles, they build their massively expensive wind turbines without even breathing protection, they're taxed into poverty, and they worship the false god of global warming.
i always wanted to know how those big windturbines were made
meanwhile in england everyone commutes to others towns, why not just people to work locally? save the commute pollute.
All that dead wildlife
all that renewable energy yet the highest cost for electricity
1970 – environmental whacks – we only have 10 yrs left!
1980 – environmental whacks – we only have 10 yrs left!
1990 – environmental whacks – we only have 10 yrs left!
2000 – environmental whacks – we only have 10 yrs left!
2010 – environmental whacks – we only have 10 yrs left!
2019 – OAC and the environmental whacks – we only have 12 yrs left!
Notice a pattern of hysteria that is basically BS!! But I do intend to make money off of them!
Every wind and solar installation is propped up by reliable nuclear and fossil fuel plants which compensate for the dangerous and unpredictable fluctuations of wind/solar output.Â
Otherwise, they would cause life-threatening black/brown outs and voltage spikes throughout the day.
Denmark= windmills nightmare…
Reasons:

4:25 – two of them would power ENTIRE Denmark :
9:00 – music is WRONG! Should be death metal…
Madness…
We must go full nuclear!. The safest, I repeat, the safest, cheaper, cleanest, and the least landscape intrusive energy. And non intermittent, by the way. Should not were for the taxes imposed by stupid or corrupt governments on the taxpayers for the subsidizes for solar and wind, they wouldn't exist. It's a big scam for the hard-earned-money workers. STOP THE WIND AND SOLAR CRAZINESS https://youtu.be/55-jBCjtJ88
The Danes should look into the Viking settlement of Greenland around 900 ad, and the abandonment in 400 years due to climate change. All before electricity was used. These ugly windfarms woul
Use the power generated to pump water up into a reservoir for windless periods.
Don worry elon musk will help you with bateries
Thank you denamarck

The OFF Act transitions the U.S. to 100% clean and renewable energy by 2035 and includes provisions to stimulate the economy and transition workers to jobs in the renewable energy sector
Green energy. Ha ha. What a joke. Thel steel windmills can't be produced without coal. And the batteries are made from toxic metals mined in China the by product of which destroys farming land. Then there are the tons of concrete needed to bed them into. Yes, very green There's a reason why ships don't use wind power anymore. It's totally unreliable.
we need to stop over populating the world folks
sweet gentle sound of money. do you hear it?
Incredible idiots!
Denmark seems awesome!
Denmark is pathetic. Running coal power plants at inefficient low levels; importing expensive energy from Germany and Sweden. The triumph of GW religion. Super high power costs. FORCED to join local power sharing. A silly little country full of thick alarmists who are poorly educated and unintelligent. Make those immigrants speak Danish. Tak!
Forced by the EU to compensate the poor for super high electricity costs. Self righteous, sanctimonious prigs. Get a life, turds!
Congratulations on an excellent piece of propaganda!
Wonderful!!!!
Take a look at YT: Smart energy systems: 100% renewable energy at a national level. (by:energyPLAN)
Do your research. How is the result up to now 😉
God bless denmark and the danish people.
Take Care, it’s dangerous acordering to Trump…….
Now we produce about 40% of our energy by wind turbines ,take that USA…..
So what about China and India? China's 26% greenhouse emissions will soon reach 30%, whilst India's is on the rise from 19% to 25% in the next decade…Maybe Greta can hold her climate change protests in Beijing….
What about this type of wind turbine : https://youtu.be/AzRhnS1uZgk
Absolutely out of date and never a good nor true depiction
As of 2018, global production of wind turbines use 450,000 tonnes of copper per year. For wind farms with three-stage gearbox doubly fed 3 MW induction generators, approximately 2.7 t per MW is needed with standard wind turbines. For wind turbines with LV/MV transformers in the nacelle, 1.85 t per MW is needed. THE COPPER COMES FROM BASE LOAD COAL or NUCLEAR POWERED PROCESSING so wind turbines are useless – the mega sized equipment to lift and instal requires double full rod steel reinforced concrete driveways – every part requires base load power to make and the copper wasted building these over priced never to pay for themselves windmills, is dead money. Nuclear wins / solar doesn't work 77% of the time and windmills kill birds and when there's no wind ? I win you lose.
Shame on her riding around in a boat that runs on fossil fuel Why not an electric ship
Shame shame shame riding around in a mini ship that runs on fossil fuel you should be riding around and electric powered boat your polluting
One nuclear reactor would run 200,000 houses I’m sorry 300,000 houses 24 seven and it’s clean one of those go bad where do you disposal and then fork out some more money in the billions to build them again which one nuclear reactor will do the same thing and clean burning and safe And reliable you might think it’s beautiful but a lot of people think it ruins the whole landscape when you’re looking out the ocean And killing thousands of birds that’s just the beginning
Let those protesters go without electricity then they really be screaming and crying and protesting
We’re all those trucks and helicopters and buses electric to?
Why should he give a shit the dollar is king in his eyes he’s making good money
