You won’t believe what Denmark is doing here!

The modern wind industry started with the invention of the "Danish model" of wind turbines, and Denmark stayed ahead of the pack when they pioneered the first offshore wind farm in the early 1990s. Today, there is much more competition, but they're pioneering a new form of energy distribution.

But weren't we told that wind energy was a scam? Won't all these offshore wind farms have severe negative consequences while there are far better sources of green energy available?

the price of electricity in Denmark just now (today at 17:30 ) is 0.0238 DKr/KW = approximately 0, 0035 $ then you add what it costs to use the grid and the tax and that adds up to 1.39 DKr/KW ≈ 0, 20 $/KW
Today the wind is blowing and the prise of electricity falls

Onshore wind is cheaper than natural gas. Offshore wind is about 2x as expensive as onshore wind. At 8:52 you said that offshore wind is 3 times as expensive as natural gas, but the internet says it's about 1.4 to 1.8 times as expensive.
I bet pollution from coal and gas does more harm to birds than wind turbines do.

Denmark really want to be a wind bender

You are missing some information in your video at the end with the islands.

The main reason for building the islands is to build a hydrogen plant out there so that all the excess energy is converted into hydrogen that can be burned later when there is not so much wind

the island in North Sea is also used as a meeting point for the energy grid and is connected to Belgium, Holland, Germany and Denmark and a hydrogen line will also be made to Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. when the project is finished

Denmark has the most stable energy supply with fewest disruption hours in the EU. The problems to wind energy is talk more than reality.

It’s not correct that «we have no way of storing the energy from wind». Battery parks are ot the only way. Almost next door is Norway, with huge hydro pwer resources. Through subsea HVDC cables it functions as Noethern Europe’s battery. There are several cable to Denmark, several to Germany and The Netherlands, and even one crossing the Noeth Sea to Britan

There's another reason why we are building in the North Sea, because waters are rising and we want to save our coastlines and we need to know how the waters react to bad weather and the fields will be able to give us good warning.

If wind power is so good, why does it need to be subsidized worldwide, same with solar panels?

[Nosensev]

I like your content, but because you are now using clickbait to generate traffic I am unsubscribing. I am totally done with "You won't believe ..." or "We did X and watch what happend!" Stop.

[Slumbert]

Minister Svend Auken played a big role building up this green industry.
Stones in earth, liquid salt etc etc is planned as batteries.
Who knows.... maybe surplus windenergy could be used to raise water in waterbatteries around Europe in grid.

Coupled together with Sweden and Norway, Denmark has the ability to really benefit from the cheap and quick grid balancing services provided by both country's hydropower plants. No more need for natural gas or coal as a backup source. Power prices will just fall.

And with the advent of direct-drive wind turbines, there's no need for a gearbox.

[darkwindplus]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
I like alternative forms of energy, yet it is a scam if you only want a single form for the future. There should be wind, solar, hydroelectric, coal, gas, oil, and nuclear. Allowing for the energy grid to be powered by a diversification of different sources would make it stronger, and enable it to be more versatile. Additionally I imagine that in the future there will be new forms that have yet to be developed that will add to the system.

[ibkhansen]

it may well be that it makes sense to use an anemometer for electricity
but now it's like that without stable electricity from another way of getting power, you won't be able to use wind energy
it can be used when there is someone who can hold electricity (EL) from the mains
e.g. from water, coal, oil or anything else that can do it

Wind mills keep getting taller. Hundreds of feet in the air. 🤣🤯

[Clover-qznl]

Such a great video and it opens up for tons of new ideas and new perspectives and it’s a great project that’s going on and a big thanks to for sharing this video with the whole world 💕 Thank youuuu and thank youuuu

[ArmandoDuarteG]

Just in time for my morning commute! 🚃 Great video as always😃

[gtbkts]

Thanks for the awesome content and all the amazing videos!!

Stating that the wind industry is strugeling to be profitable could be misinterpreted like wind power is not profitable. That is far from the truth. Wind energy is by far the chepest energy in the grid. The industry is only strugeling because of the firce competition from China.
