Mike sent me this link today and I just had to blog about it, what wonderful news. 🙂

When it comes to renewable energy, Denmark is officially kicking ass. Yesterday, Denmark’s wind farms produced 116% of national electricity demands, allowing the country to export power to Norway, German, and Sweden. According to The Guardian, that figure had risen to 140% by early Friday morning.

“It shows that a world powered 100% by renewable energy is no fantasy,” the European Wind Energy Association’s Oliver Joy told The Guardian. “Wind energy and renewables can be a solution to decarbonization—and also security of supply at times of high demand.”

Goes to show you when a government has the will, there is a way…  Renewable energy is the future of energy production, yeah Canada might not able to sustain itself with just renewables but it makes a lot of sense for our civilization to move in that direction.  I tell myself one day I’ll visit the Nordic countries, it’s something I’ve always wanted to do!
