Denmark last week launched the first phase of its plan to use wind power to
generate 5500 megawatts of electricity—half its national
consumption—by 2030. Environment minister Svend Auken announced that 500
large turbines, enough to generate 750 megawatts of electricity, will be built
in shallow coastal waters by 2008. This will increase the country’s wind-power
capacity by three-quarters. Denmark already has 4000 smaller wind turbines on
land, but because of their impact on the landscape, much of the future capacity
will have to be built offshore.
