Denmark spent decades building nearly 5,000 wind turbines
Together, they produced 21.6 TWh in the last 12 months
One nuclear plant in Sweden made 23.3 TWh
Oh, and nuclear runs 24/7 — wind doesn’t
There's one big reason Denmark has some of the most expensive electricity in the world

Ten days ago, renewable campaigners celebrated: Germany's renewables hit a record 115% of electricity, and power cost €30/MWh
Then the wind stopped
For the last four days, renewables gave just 30%, and power cost €273/MWh, 9 times more
Neuer Rekord!
Der tägliche Anteil erneuerbarer Energien an der Last (=Stromverbrauch+Netzverluste) erreichte am 24.10.2026 114,8 %. Der Stromverbrauch konnte im Durchschnitt zu 100 % aus EE gedeckt werden und es wurden zusätzlich 14,8 % exportiert.

You can’t understand energy and power systems if you don’t understand power density. Here's another look at the Iron Law of Power Density, which says, "the lower the power density, the higher the resource intensity." Link to my latest is below.

Here's the U.S. Energy Information Administration. It's no doubt similar elsewhere. In FY 2022, wind received 95¢ per million btu that it generated. Coal received 7¢, natural gas & oil 19¢, nuclear 5¢, hydro 2¢, and solar $4.15. wind-watch.org/documents/fed…

“We told them this was a dangerous thing,” Ms. Brady said, referring to commercial fishermen’s opposition to the wind farms.
“We told them that search and rescue wouldn’t work. And it’s not just search and rescue for us commercial fishermen. Anybody on the water, whether you’re a pilot boat, whether you’re a tugboat, whether you’re a sailing boat with your family, or whether you’re a tanker, it doesn’t matter. You get in there, they can’t come and get you, and that should have never, ever happened.”
Ms. Brady’s organization obtained the incident investigation report from the Coast Guard’s aborted mission the night the Mistress sank and provided it to The Times. The wind farm is mentioned several times in the report as a hazard the rescuers faced.
The Coast Guard said it deployed an MH-60T Jayhawk to the sinking vessel from Air Station Cape Cod after receiving the distress call.
Typically, the aircraft search for survivors and lower equipment and a rescue swimmer to recover them, and they can perform this task in severe weather and rough seas.
But the Jayhawk aborted the mission to help the Mistress, the incident report said, “due to weather and hazards in the area (I.E. Wind Farm).”
