Several neighbours have asked us about them and recently, two more homes near us have installed panels. While solar and other technologies continue to improve, it is encouraging to see that people are not just waiting to see what comes up, but are forging ahead with the best currently available and looking forward to continued improvements.

This is the kind of competition between nations the peoples of the world can really get into. Thanks for posting the article.

It is still running today. Our windmill, Tvindkraft, inspired other producers by showing windpower was a true alternative. Tvindkraft also provided the necessary wing technology which today is at every producer's disposal. Danish windpower boomed in just 20 years, creating lots of jobs and income for Denmark. Please read about Tvindkraft as a source of inspiration and good luck with your energy transformation. France changed their energy system in 10 years, albeit opting for nuclear, so change of energy systems over a short period of time is possible also for bigger countries, especially when this provides job opportunities.

Not only do they produce twenty to twenty five percent of their electricity and heating from renewable energy, (examples such as: biomass, biodegradable waste and wind) but they have become completely independent of Middle Easter oil. This is a great accomplishment. During earth day Obama, visited a wind power plant in Iowa. This marvelous invention made him believe that the US can surpass Denmark in renewable energy. Competition is not bad. It is human nature to go against others on topics of interest. However, I disagree with our president. He cannot say that we can increase our renewable energy from three percent to twenty in a short period of time. This seems impossible. Especially since US uses way more energy than Denmark, and twenty percent of US energy would require a tremendous amount of wind mill. Again this is not a bad idea. It would be great if he proves me wrong in the end. But with the economy being unstable this might not be a great idea for right now. Denmark has accomplished the unthinkable.
