The industry of the development and production of the wind turbine in the country of Denmark has been on the cutting edge of this sustainable form of energy for forty years. Nineteen percent of the electricity in the country is derived from the wind turbines that are found throughout the country. One third of the market on the global level is held by Denmark, which financially brings in billions of dollars each year in revenue. This country has always been ahead of the other countries, from the inception of the use of wind generated energy, to the technology used today in the factories that build the turbines. Now their new goal is to get the other countries of the world to follow suit.

This country has also managed to lower the emissions levels, down almost fourteen percent since the levels in 1990. Energy conservation is successful, as the rates have not risen, even as the population has been growing. Denmark will host the United Nations summit in December, that will focus on the climate change and the need for alternative sources of energy. Denmark has proven that a country can do all three, achieve increased growth economically, while reducing pollution and the conversation of energy.

And while Denmark is a green city, the catalyst for the production of the wind farms was the oil crisis of 1973. At that time, ninety percent of the energy of the country was from the use of petroleum. With most of their supplies coming from foreign oil sources. Quick thinking Denmark rapidly launched into action and created new plans for energy. The oil supply was reestablished however the Danes wished to remain self-sufficient, and to never again experience the fear of what the oil crisis had created. The government continued to establish controls on energy usage, and the wind generated energy was further investigated and put to use.
