…The article by Europe environment correspondent Arthur Neslen made it sound like Denmark had fulfilled all its energy needs with wind power and had some left to spare. But upon closer reading, Neslen talking about one “unusually windy” day (July 9, 2015). Not a month. Not a week. One single day. More
And when Denmark has such a wind power spike, they have to pay their neighbors to accept the excess or risk damage to the grid.
BTW, I think Denmark pays the highest electricity rates in Europe, higher then even the dumb ass (solar panels in cloudy northern Europe) Germans. 4 times the cost that comes into my house.
I enjoyed the cartoon posted in the comments – and the article it linked to discussing deforestation in the name of wind power and ‘renewable’ palm oil.
