Wind farms wind down in Denmark

Wind farms have been popular in Denmark until now – but numbers of new turbines is now dropping.

Locals and authorities are rejecting the build of the generators, on the grounds they are “poorly located, noisy and unsightly”, an article in the Scotsman claims.

THE nation that leads the world in wind-farm development is going cool on the environmentally friendly source of power.

Since the boom year of 2000, when as many as 748 turbines were erected, the number being built in Denmark has steadily fallen. So far this year, only six new wind turbines have been put up.
