Denmark’ s story is one of reinvention. With almost no hydroelectric resource to speak of, the Danes built their cleanenergy credentials almost entirely on wind. The country has transitioned with remarkable efficiency, needing only 0.66 kWh to generate every US $ 1 of economic output. Half of Denmark’ s energy still comes from fossil fuels, but its wind-driven ambition is changing that picture every year.
