...AND CHEAPER...:
THE ANSWER MY FRIEND : Denmark's wind farms generated 140% of the country's electricity needs yesterday (Svati Kirsten Narula, July 10, 2015, Quartz)
An unusually windy day gave Scandinavia another chance to show off its global superiority in clean energy yesterday. On July 9, Denmark's wind farms generated more than enough power to meet nationwide electricity demands--with a 16% surplus of energy during the day and a whopping 40% surplus overnight.The extra energy didn't go to waste; it was exported to Germany, Norway, and Sweden via interconnectors between the countries' electricity grids.
