Denmark Now Makes 25 Percent Of Their Power From Wind

Denmark Offshore Wind Farm

 

When reading about Denmark's ambitious plans to get 50 percent of their energy from wind turbines in the next eight years, I wonder why other countries aren't doing the same thing.  Tapping sustainable energy sources like wind and solar pay for themselves in time, improve air quality, reduce health issues associated with pollution, and make each country less dependent on others for their energy needs.  

Denmark is doing the smart thing here.  Scratching my head as to why most first world countries aren't following their lead.  Denmark plans to be fully powered by renewable energy by 2050.
