Wow, amazing, bigger more power hungry countries have more wind generating capacity. A better graphic would be one showing generation output compared to overall demand by country.
@@Marvin-dg8vjI live in Denmark, and we're currently getting around 80% of electricity from renewables. But the installed base of wind turbines is so big that when there are strong winds, the output exceeds demand and electricity spot price goes _negative!_ There have been about 20 days or so this year where I've been paid money to charge mh Tesla.
There are no more than five countries in the world that can independently build wind turbines. It is not difficult to manufacture wind turbines, but it is difficult to manufacture wind turbine blades. Wind turbine blades require materials with extremely high strength and very light weight, and also meet fatigue resistance. It requires technology to seamlessly process them into aerodynamic blades over 40 meters long. It took China a full 15 years to break through this technology. In the past, it was completely dependent on imports from Europe. Now China can produce the world's longest blades, up to 123 meters long, and the cost is 60% lower than imports. This is the reason why China's wind power generation has been able to develop vigorously in the past 10 years.
The rotation of wind turbine blades generates low-frequency noise, so this is difficult unless the country has large areas of barren land or desert with no residential areas, or shallow seas.
No the change happened with China government change on internal development and privatisation and investment policies. Which only took form with Xi as chairman. So don’t fabricate facts to suit your agenda.
I wonder if there is a word in Chinese for 'environmental impact study' ? The Germans tried to build an experimental and highly subsidised 1MW wind turbine called GroWiAn (Großwindenergieanlage). It failed and failed with mechanical issues and they said it can't be done. In 2024 the Chinese make 26MW wind turbines.
Except for nuclear power generation, China has leapfrogged in every other kind of power generation and given the no. of nuclear reactors under construction in China even nuclear power won't be far ahead to top.
With its huge landmass (8.5 M Km2) and population (205 M people), Brazil produces only 95.51 Twh of wind power which means just 11.21 MWh per Km2 or 0.46 MWh per habitant. If you compare it to the wind power generation of much smaller First World countries (Germany = 384 MWh per Km2 or 1.66 MWh per habitant, Spain = 127 MWh per Km2 or 1.32 MWh per habitant), it turns out Brazil is far from the top and even below Morocco who ranks 31st (14.6 MWh per Km2) or Uruguay who ranks 35th (26.9 MWh per Km2). It looks as Brazilians are people with zero humbleness and need of attention.

On a side note there was an important development on the electricity production side in Canada. The province of Newfoundland and Labrador signed a MOU with the province of Quebec to renegotiate the Churchill Falls contract 17 years in advance. This dam site produces 5560 MW's of electricity which is sold in Quebec and the NE USA. Included in the new agreement will be an upgrade within 2 years to the 5 existing turbines in the hydro dam thus increasing the capacity of the dam by another 550 MW's. Also and additional 2 new turbines with a total capacity of 1110 MW's will be added to the existing reservoir site bringing the total capacity of the Upper Churchill site up to 7220 MW's along with grid upgrades. There is also a third site halfway on the river between the Upper Churchill site and the lower Muskrat Falls site (800 MW's capacity) called Gull Island which has a potential of 2250 MW's for a total of 10,270 MW's on this one river which is an increase of 3900 MW's above the existing capacity. This is all just hydro generated electricity and the potential for Wind Generated electricity in eastern Canada could exceed 20,000 MW's with some wind projects already in the planning stage.

Well, if you remind yourself that the US have 4 times the Citizens of Germany and China 14 or 15 times the Citizens of Germany, you'll see the problem with those absolute numbers. If you'll see the number per Citizen Germany puts down China and the US, but would itself get put down by some smaller countries like Denmark or Norway...
Adoption of alternate energy sources is a dynamic process, as the data presented here makes very evident. Germany has steadily fallen behind in wind power in relative terms, other nations have steadily increased their wind power production at the same time. Germany is now struggling with mounting industrial and technological development issues, most overtly in the automotive sector, that will only accelerate these trends. The iconic German brands of my childhood - Bausch and Lomb, Leica, BASF, to name a few, have been largely or entirely replaced by Japanese, and Korean companies, and Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes, and BMW are all now struggling. Despite the defensive tariffs of the EU and US, China keeps gaining critical market share.
The Netherlands. The Dutch are in everything from food to high technology, thatsmall portion of land almost underwater in Europe. In every stats of the most diverse themes, there they are. They are phenomenal.
But what does the number mean ? And would it not be better to show how much energy per person in each nation ? Not much point UK producing enough wind power electicity to power China is there, What about electricity per population ? Same with pollution ..
From 0.1 TWh to over 2300 TWh. Fantastic! There is hope for saving the ecosphere and civilization. PV is even better and has more potential. Add a little battery and pumped- hydro and petro-terrorism is in the past.
If you look at the map, China's geography suits so well to produce renewable power, like a big machine in the east carrying a big battery on his back in the west
Since then numbers shrink from time to time, this is obviously not showing energy (TWh) but some sort of power. To an engineer numbers are not convincing if the units are missing or obviously wrong. Also the sound editing could easily be a lot better on this vid!
The UK keeps putting wind farms construction out to tender, but for the last 5 years they have never received an offer from companies without a truly massive strike price being agreed... There is just no money in it for the energy companies due to low returns ( because often the wind does not blow, even in windy UK ). People think that because wind is 'free' that wind provides cheap energy... But because of the high maintenance costs of wind ( especially offshore wind ) and the amount of infrastructure needed to collect power from individual turbines and ship it to a grid connection the cost of wind is a lot more than people realise. Same with solar, but with solar you get lots of power in summer when you do not need it for heating ( which is probably the largest use for electricity in UK ) and in the winter with short days, cloudy weather and our coldest period you get very little from solar, on some days a big fat 'zero'... Renewables are tapping into very weak energy streams and the amount of infrastructure needed to capture the power is massive...
That’s the bad news the good news is we had 5hrs of free electricity this year when the wind blew, you don’t get that with coal and gas, stick that in your pipe and smoke it 😂
@@Phippsta Keeping extra power from summer to use in winter is a zealots wet dream. Look upon batteries as 'very expensive and very short term' storage, able to support the grid for minutes.... Here is a fact for you - to be able to support the grid in USA for an hour it would take Elon Musk battery megafactory 500 years to build enough batteries, and they would have to stop making EV batteries. But a child of 5 can see the problem, batteries last maybe 10 years, so nobody would ever be able to make enough batteries... and that is only one country.
@@chrissmith2114 I guess humans are just not meant to use electricity then... Neither works. One destroys the world with climate change, the other is too inefficient.
@@chrissmith2114 I wasn't referring to electric vehicles anyway... I'm certain they are able to support the grid for more than minutes. They charge when the production of the electricity is excessive... No solar power electricity at night... No problem. You use a battery that was charged in the day using the excess electric to be able to use said electricity when the sun isn't shining. Batteries are being converted to being made from Silicon now anyway, which is much more sustainable.
What shocked me here is how much the output in wind power is subject to political changes within the different countries. 😥 Even as far as some figures go down during some years in different countries . We could be so much further in CO2 and nuclear free energy worldwide with the right political/economical decisions being taken everywhere. Seing these figures per inhabitant would be very interesting too, especially with so many small countries in the list.
I am surprised that the Netherlands is so high up with such a small surface area. I know that there are wind farms at sea, but compared to Germany, the Dutch do not want wind turbines on land. I live on the German border and you see a lot of wind turbines there. Many German municipalities place wind turbines on the border. In the Netherlands, there is a lot of protest from the local population because they see the wind turbines on land as horizon pollution. The Dutch government now demands that every municipality must place a few wind turbines, but even the local aldermen protest against this. There are not only protests against wind turbines, but also against solar parks. The Netherlands has the most solar panels per capita in the world. The current government now also wants to build nuclear power plants. This requires less space and is also not dependent on weather conditions.

Wind power is only available when the wind blows. Consequently coal fired power stations have to run in the background in case the wind stops blowing. Brilliant isn't it?

Agreed, but some UK politicians use China to justify continuing to burn all other fossil fuels, not promote green energy, or EV use until China stop polluting so much.
Strange Display. The scale is in TWh and increasing during the year. So it would be obvious, that it is the cumulative electrical energy output. But no, sometimes the numbers are falling. So did the chineese people use electrical energy to run the windmills ?? Of course not. So probably it is the energy produced per year. But if so, why don't you label the scale correctly with TWh per year (or whatever really is meant)?
I'm Dutch (* the Netherlands *) an is a small country but ends in 13th place in 2023 is outstanding. It comes in at the 4th place in 1989.. an gets passed due China beginning 1992 en United kingdom end of 1992 En then passed China back in 1995. An then it takes 10 years (* 2005*) that China take over the lead again of the Netherlands...🤭
Given the size of the country, the rank of the Netherlands is indeed respectable. If you correlate with the size including the exclusionary zone at the coast, even the leaders China, US, Brazil, India, and down the list Canada, Australia are the worst underperformers. Looking at their GDP ranking and population sizes, Canada and Australia should easily be able to cover their whole domestic consumption with wind turbines, heating and EVs included.
Despite the UK being near the top of the list wind power is a small, unreliable % of total energy needs. The need to stop the turbines when it's too windy and use diesel generators to warm and start them when it's cold. The used blades go into land fill, so not much use and not very green.
Let's see "genius" we are already with the stereotypes, it is clear that he does not know the country at all. To begin with, wind energy is much cheaper to produce than solar energy. Spain is a country that, being on a peninsula surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, has tremendous wind power, something that for you must be somewhat useless.I recommend starting a business, you would be a successful man. I recommend investing in VHS video.😂
@MrTramborrios To begin with, no, solar really is (a lot!) cheaper then wind energy and getting even cheaper at a far higher rate for well over half a century by now. Even Leonardo DiCaprio knows that. Also, you can pretty easily look up for wind maps these days that will show you Spain is one of the least windy countries in entire Europe, including the water around it. It's not like the UK or something. You can call me a genius all you want, but I would strongly advice you to look into the subject before posting more.

This map is worth what it is... you cannot compare a huge country as China or Brasil with small countries!

The data comes from the consultancy Enerdata, which annually publishes a study on energy production and consumption worldwide and its environmental impact. The same study indicates that the largest producer of “clean” energy in 2024 is 1° 🇳🇴 98.3% of the energy produced comes from renewable sources 2° 🇧🇷 with 90% renewable energy (Clean) 3° 🇳🇿 with 87.6%) 4° 🇩🇰 with 87.2% Renewable Energy 5°🇵🇹 with 75.5% of energy produced through renewable sources 6° 🇸🇪 70% of Renewable Fonts 7° 🇨🇦 68% Renewable Sources 8° 🇨🇴66.7% Renewable Sources 9° 🇨🇱 64% Renewable Sources 10°🇩🇪 54% Renewable Sources
Portugal is just a small country with a small population. The energy structure of a large country is more complex. In order to ensure energy security, various energy sources are used, including coal, natural gas, wind power, hydropower, nuclear power, photovoltaic power, etc.
The wind power turbine production of Siemens is mostly Spanish, but there are German manufacturers like Enercon and Nordex as well. Another big player in European market is Danish Vestas.
Is wind energy free or expensive? Has anyone ever calculated how much money has to be spent on maintaining wind turbines? How long can they operate without maintenance? How do we replace the turbines? Do we have technicians for this job? Offshore wind farms are even more difficult and therefore more expensive to maintain. This makes wind energy much more expensive than we currently think. In Germany, the share of wind energy is sometimes more than 60%, but on other days it is less than 10%. Alternative energy, coal or gas, must always be ready to step in. Such a power station must therefore also be paid for when no energy is yet being supplied. That is why we actually pay three times as much for energy.
The key point is "Renewable Energy". Coal, gas, and other fossil fuels are limited resources. Wind will continue to blow as long as the sun shines (For the next 5 billion years, or so.). Fossil fuels are the real curse causing "Global heating" and "Global extremes", as they reintroduce carbon into the biosphere. If we are looking at cost, we must include the cost of countering "Global heating" and "Global extremes". -> From that perspective I am ready to pay a little extra for energy, as I thus save a huge lot on damage control! --- Now, I am from Denmark, and the first windmill (from 1978) that proved the concept is still standing and running. From an economic perspective, windmills are a good investment in the long run. Windmills have problems: They are noisy and ugly, you do not want them in your backyard. The Danish language has a unique word for it, translated into English it would become something like "Eyeshit" (Yes, the opposite meaning of "Eyecandy".) Denmark has plenty of shallow oceans, thus offshore wind farms are the way to deal with that main problem! --- Denmark is the #1 oil producer in the EU (a surprising but true fact). - Thus we can compare: What costs the most to maintain? Oil rigs and refineries, or windmills and transformers? Maintaining wind is far cheaper than maintaining oil! For the "do we have technicians" question: Denmark educates them. Denmark does NOT educate people to work in the oil industry. (Again, this is a surprising but true fact.) Those currently working got their education elsewhere, mainly in Norway. (Why educate professions that are going to become obsolete soon?!) --- It is difficult to predict the future. My guess is that someday, nuclear power research will have progressed so much that it will outcompete all existing power production methods.
@@larsdahl5528 Thank you for your detailed answer. You are willing to pay a little extra for clean energy. Me too, but the truth is that we pay a lot more for energy. I lived in the Netherlands in the Flevopolder. That is a piece of land that we reclaimed from the see. Mostly for farmers and a few cities. Within a few years, hundreds of wind turbines are erected in front of my appartment. Now it is only suitable for farming because no one wil buy a new home close to these windmills.
We may be third in the world with wind, but we cannot exist without nuclear electric power from France. Some very wise green politicians here in Germany had this great idea.
France does export electricity to Germany, which corresponds to approximately 0.5% of Germany's electricity needs. This is far from being system critical. Germany also exports electricity to France, but no one says that this is important so that the nuclear reactors don't explode because they can no longer be cooled without German wind power.
@@paterromanow3290 That's the price on the electricity exchange, it changes every minute, the consumer doesn't care because there are contractual purchase prices, just like the industry.

Well, if you remind yourself that the US have 4 times the Citizens of Germany and China 14 or 15 times the Citizens of Germany, you'll see the problem with those absolute numbers. If you'll see the number per Citizen Germany puts down China and the US, but would itself get put down by some smaller countries like Denmark or Norway...
Adoption of alternate energy sources is a dynamic process, as the data presented here makes very evident. Germany has steadily fallen behind in wind power in relative terms, other nations have steadily increased their wind power production at the same time.
Germany is now struggling with mounting industrial and technological development issues, most overtly in the automotive sector, that will only accelerate these trends. The iconic German brands of my childhood - Bausch and Lomb, Leica, BASF, to name a few, have been largely or entirely replaced by Japanese, and Korean companies, and Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes, and BMW are all now struggling. Despite the defensive tariffs of the EU and US, China keeps gaining critical market share.
The Netherlands. The Dutch are in everything from food to high technology, thatsmall portion of land almost underwater in Europe. In every stats of the most diverse themes, there they are. They are phenomenal.
And watch Brazil. Germany began using wind power in 1989. Brazil just in 2009, 20 years later. Look at that.
@@caravaggio31 Haha, I'm part Dutch by ancestry!

Graphs showing wind power generation vs. electric energy consumption would be more interesting.
But what does the number mean ? And would it not be better to show how much energy per person in each nation ? Not much point UK producing enough wind power electicity to power China is there, What about electricity per population ? Same with pollution ..
From 0.1 TWh to over 2300 TWh. Fantastic! There is hope for saving the ecosphere and civilization. PV is even better and has more potential. Add a little battery and pumped- hydro and petro-terrorism is in the past.
I like the background music. What is it?
The PRC of course lah
How about a graph over time showing actual energy produced by renewables against total energy expended by each country.
If you look at the map, China's geography suits so well to produce renewable power, like a big machine in the east carrying a big battery on his back in the west

Can you make China vs all countries combined after China be no1？ maybe gray dashed bar
All of the countries shown in this video except China produced the total of 1.237 Peta watt hours.
Steel production. China beats the rest of the world combined
China is still less than 40% world total production, foreign country wins!!!
Since then numbers shrink from time to time, this is obviously not showing energy (TWh) but some sort of power. To an engineer numbers are not convincing if the units are missing or obviously wrong. Also the sound editing could easily be a lot better on this vid!
Power Output and power produced are two different things

Thanks.
The UK keeps putting wind farms construction out to tender, but for the last 5 years they have never received an offer from companies without a truly massive strike price being agreed... There is just no money in it for the energy companies due to low returns ( because often the wind does not blow, even in windy UK ). People think that because wind is 'free' that wind provides cheap energy... But because of the high maintenance costs of wind ( especially offshore wind ) and the amount of infrastructure needed to collect power from individual turbines and ship it to a grid connection the cost of wind is a lot more than people realise. Same with solar, but with solar you get lots of power in summer when you do not need it for heating ( which is probably the largest use for electricity in UK ) and in the winter with short days, cloudy weather and our coldest period you get very little from solar, on some days a big fat 'zero'... Renewables are tapping into very weak energy streams and the amount of infrastructure needed to capture the power is massive...
That’s the bad news the good news is we had 5hrs of free electricity this year when the wind blew, you don’t get that with coal and gas, stick that in your pipe and smoke it 😂
That's why you also build Batteries.
@@Phippsta Keeping extra power from summer to use in winter is a zealots wet dream. Look upon batteries as 'very expensive and very short term' storage, able to support the grid for minutes.... Here is a fact for you - to be able to support the grid in USA for an hour it would take Elon Musk battery megafactory 500 years to build enough batteries, and they would have to stop making EV batteries. But a child of 5 can see the problem, batteries last maybe 10 years, so nobody would ever be able to make enough batteries... and that is only one country.
@@chrissmith2114 I guess humans are just not meant to use electricity then... Neither works. One destroys the world with climate change, the other is too inefficient.
@@chrissmith2114 I wasn't referring to electric vehicles anyway... I'm certain they are able to support the grid for more than minutes. They charge when the production of the electricity is excessive... No solar power electricity at night... No problem. You use a battery that was charged in the day using the excess electric to be able to use said electricity when the sun isn't shining. Batteries are being converted to being made from Silicon now anyway, which is much more sustainable.
What shocked me here is how much the output in wind power is subject to political changes within the different countries. 😥
Even as far as some figures go down during some years in different countries .
We could be so much further in CO2 and nuclear free energy worldwide with the right political/economical decisions being taken everywhere.
Seing these figures per inhabitant would be very interesting too, especially with so many small countries in the list.
I am surprised that the Netherlands is so high up with such a small surface area. I know that there are wind farms at sea, but compared to Germany, the Dutch do not want wind turbines on land. I live on the German border and you see a lot of wind turbines there. Many German municipalities place wind turbines on the border. In the Netherlands, there is a lot of protest from the local population because they see the wind turbines on land as horizon pollution. The Dutch government now demands that every municipality must place a few wind turbines, but even the local aldermen protest against this. There are not only protests against wind turbines, but also against solar parks. The Netherlands has the most solar panels per capita in the world. The current government now also wants to build nuclear power plants. This requires less space and is also not dependent on weather conditions.
a land that will have parts in the sea due to global warming... nuclear plants may not be the best idea, see fukushima...🧐
I'm from the UK .. We are not really doing well are we considering we are a windy nation surrounded by sea. We should be ashamed.
That's not actually true
Would be nice to see the combined EU as one flag in such statistics (not only here)
Better to look at per inhabitant, or take EU as one for example
power or energy? Power generation is TW, not TWh. The title should say in Energy Generation.
I guess having more desolate desert is a good thing for wind power

Wind power is only available when the wind blows. Consequently coal fired power stations have to run in the background in case the wind stops blowing. Brilliant isn't it?
Coal is the only energy alternative you can imagine? Please
Only, if you are stupid enough not to back it up with energy storage.
This is ridicolus!You are comparing countries wit a lot off space with countries that dont have a lot of space!Like the USA and the Netherlands. So 18.890 is a lot more impressive for the Netherlands than 398.394 for the United States!!
The uk is the windiest country in Europe and has a huge coastal area
Better to compare with m²/kWh ...
Have other countries stopped pointing the finger at Chinese coal use to justify their own country’s polluting habits?
The uk doesn’t use any coal at all now
Agreed, but some UK politicians use China to justify continuing to burn all other fossil fuels, not promote green energy, or EV use until China stop polluting so much.

great animation.
Strange Display. The scale is in TWh and increasing during the year. So it would be obvious, that it is the cumulative electrical energy output. But no, sometimes the numbers are falling. So did the chineese people use electrical energy to run the windmills ??
Of course not. So probably it is the energy produced per year. But if so, why don't you label the scale correctly with TWh per year (or whatever really is meant)?
All are increasing by different speeds, but one was even decreasing, germany is lost. The altmeier gap is only a part of the problem.

I'm Dutch (* the Netherlands *) an is a small country but ends in 13th place in 2023 is outstanding.
It comes in at the 4th place in 1989.. an gets passed due China beginning 1992 en United kingdom end of 1992
En then passed China back in 1995.
An then it takes 10 years (* 2005*) that China take over the lead again of the Netherlands...🤭
Given the size of the country, the rank of the Netherlands is indeed respectable. If you correlate with the size including the exclusionary zone at the coast, even the leaders China, US, Brazil, India, and down the list Canada, Australia are the worst underperformers. Looking at their GDP ranking and population sizes, Canada and Australia should easily be able to cover their whole domestic consumption with wind turbines, heating and EVs included.
Despite the UK being near the top of the list wind power is a small, unreliable % of total energy needs. The need to stop the turbines when it's too windy and use diesel generators to warm and start them when it's cold. The used blades go into land fill, so not much use and not very green.
Ich weise einfach mal auf das Verhältnis Bevölkerung und Landesgröße zu erzeugter Strommenge hin😅😊
What is Spain for kind of country? A pretty sunny country! Oke, let's invest in wind energy over there!
Let's see "genius" we are already with the stereotypes, it is clear that he does not know the country at all.
To begin with, wind energy is much cheaper to produce than solar energy. Spain is a country that, being on a peninsula surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, has tremendous wind power, something that for you must be somewhat useless.I recommend starting a business, you would be a successful man. I recommend investing in VHS video.😂
@MrTramborrios To begin with, no, solar really is (a lot!) cheaper then wind energy and getting even cheaper at a far higher rate for well over half a century by now. Even Leonardo DiCaprio knows that.
Also, you can pretty easily look up for wind maps these days that will show you Spain is one of the least windy countries in entire Europe, including the water around it. It's not like the UK or something.
You can call me a genius all you want, but I would strongly advice you to look into the subject before posting more.
@@rowanbroekman3929 Which, given that the UK, surrounded by the rather stormy North Sea and Atlantic, is outperformed by Germany, which has a comparatively small coastline, says more about the disgrace of the UK than about Spain.

I love wind power
Interesting when you see how much higher Germanys Co2 output is compared to the French...Nuclear power generation anyone?
This vid is about the power capacity of wind turbines not Co2 emissions …
And yes Nuclear power anytime.
The result is so predictable. China's output is always the output of the 2nd to 6th place combined.
Now let's compare how CO2 intensive Germany's power grid is compared to others...
Oops.
Turns out windmills don't compensate for burning coal.
This map is worth what it is... you cannot compare a huge country as China or Brasil with small countries!

Is wind energy free or expensive? Has anyone ever calculated how much money has to be spent on maintaining wind turbines? How long can they operate without maintenance? How do we replace the turbines? Do we have technicians for this job? Offshore wind farms are even more difficult and therefore more expensive to maintain. This makes wind energy much more expensive than we currently think. In Germany, the share of wind energy is sometimes more than 60%, but on other days it is less than 10%. Alternative energy, coal or gas, must always be ready to step in. Such a power station must therefore also be paid for when no energy is yet being supplied. That is why we actually pay three times as much for energy.
The key point is "Renewable Energy".
Coal, gas, and other fossil fuels are limited resources.
Wind will continue to blow as long as the sun shines (For the next 5 billion years, or so.).
Fossil fuels are the real curse causing "Global heating" and "Global extremes", as they reintroduce carbon into the biosphere.
If we are looking at cost, we must include the cost of countering "Global heating" and "Global extremes". -> From that perspective I am ready to pay a little extra for energy, as I thus save a huge lot on damage control!

Now, I am from Denmark, and the first windmill (from 1978) that proved the concept is still standing and running.
From an economic perspective, windmills are a good investment in the long run.
Windmills have problems: They are noisy and ugly, you do not want them in your backyard.
The Danish language has a unique word for it, translated into English it would become something like "Eyeshit" (Yes, the opposite meaning of "Eyecandy".)
Denmark has plenty of shallow oceans, thus offshore wind farms are the way to deal with that main problem!
---
Denmark is the #1 oil producer in the EU (a surprising but true fact). - Thus we can compare: What costs the most to maintain? Oil rigs and refineries, or windmills and transformers?
Maintaining wind is far cheaper than maintaining oil!
For the "do we have technicians" question: Denmark educates them.
Denmark does NOT educate people to work in the oil industry. (Again, this is a surprising but true fact.) Those currently working got their education elsewhere, mainly in Norway. (Why educate professions that are going to become obsolete soon?!)

It is difficult to predict the future. My guess is that someday, nuclear power research will have progressed so much that it will outcompete all existing power production methods.
@@larsdahl5528 Thank you for your detailed answer. You are willing to pay a little extra for clean energy. Me too, but the truth is that we pay a lot more for energy. I lived in the Netherlands in the Flevopolder. That is a piece of land that we reclaimed from the see. Mostly for farmers and a few cities. Within a few years, hundreds of wind turbines are erected in front of my appartment. Now it is only suitable for farming because no one wil buy a new home close to these windmills.
Somebody said wind electricity cost is under 0.03 cents per wh in $.

We may be third in the world with wind, but we cannot exist without nuclear electric power from France. Some very wise green politicians here in Germany had this great idea.
France does export electricity to Germany, which corresponds to approximately 0.5% of Germany's electricity needs.
This is far from being system critical.
Germany also exports electricity to France, but no one says that this is important so that the nuclear reactors don't explode because they can no longer be cooled without German wind power.
