“200,000 Danish households can expect to get their electricity supply from the offshore wind farm Horns Rev II officially opening today. The park, situated in the North Sea 30 kilometers from the shore, will produce 2.2 percent of the kingdom's total power.”
also Denmark will get even more attention about its wind and other sustainability initiatives as it hosts the UN Climate Change conference in December.

Hi Vinnie,
great column and definitely along the lines of creative destruction. copenhagen does indeed get a lot of press coverage due to the upcoming conference and there are hundreds of wind mills on both sides of the oresund bridge. however, there are quite a few (hundreds if not thousands) in eastern germany and the actual windmill model goes back hundreds of years, even though most of them are not operational. sustainability may not be as new as it seems.
