Why should only the Danes make wind generators and get inexpensive power from offshore wind farms?

You are looking at phony stats on the "produced" power from windmills, TP. It is mainly "off peak" power that goes unused. It's "produced" but not "consumed." You can't depend on it.

For industry, you need power plants that produce big, basic power 24/7/365. Without interruption. That comes from Hydroelectric from Dams, Coal, oil and nuclear power.

The "Achilles heel" of the Environmental movement is their refusal to endorse nuclear power. It exposes their hypocrisy.
