So many questions about Windmills - I know so little about Windmills, and even less about where these 20 windmills were placed... But I found them with a live webcam here:



windpower.org



Maybe I will go there later today to see how visible they are, but I guess they are very visible from the camera position, that is in an industrial area.



If you calculate a bit on the numbers (20,000 danish households, 3% of Copenhagen and 1,5 mio. people), the numbers will be misleading. There are not 3 persons per household in Copenhagen - but the Copenhagen household uses less electricity than the average danish household, which makes the windmills able to produce electricity for more than 20,000 Copenhagen city households.

My geographic location is specified on this map:

krak.dk

The map is a little misleading - Sweden is missing - a regional map is here (Germany at the bottom, Sweden to the right, and Denmark to the left):

infrastruktur.nu

The extremely narrow area at the top between Sweden and Denmark (Helsingør and Helsingborg) was the only passage for soviet submarines during the cold war between Leningrade and the Atlantic Ocean.

month. Will I be able to see these windmills, or are they in some out-of-the-way place?


Depending on where you are now, you could see the windmills at the Altamont Pass near San Francisco, or the Pachecho Pass near Palm Springs.
