EU Wind Power Stepping Up
Denmark Just Ran Their Entire Country on 100% Wind Energy
Patrick Caughill, March 3, 2017 (Futurism)
“…On February 22nd, Denmark generated enough energy with its wind turbines to power the entire country for the day. An especially windy day allowed the turbines to generate 97 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of energy. 70 of those GWh came from onshore wind turbines and the remaining 27 GWh from offshore installations. All of this power, generated from a single type of renewable energy, is enough to power 10 million average EU homes…This boost in wind power generation is partly thanks to a new offshore wind turbine installation that was able to break the record for the most energy generated by a single turbine in a 24-hour period…Many European countries have been sharing similar accomplishments…[In 2016, the UK] was powered without coal for 12 and a half hours, Germany went some days on renewables, and Portugal went four straight days on renewables…” click here for more
