Is wind power really green? Preserve Grey Highlands ad
Is wind power really green? Examine the facts, then decide for yourself. Denmark is the world’s most wind-intensive nation with more than 6,000 turbines generating 19% of its electricity. But consider this: Not one fossil fuel power plant has been closed 50% more coal-generated electricity is needed to cover wind’s failings Pollution and carbon dioxide emissions rose 36% in 2006 alone Danish electricity costs are the highest in Europe So what are the Danes saying about wind power now? “Windmills . . .
