Denmark wind power admits it's become too expensive

[lostinblue 1,989]

Denmark has led the charge for renewable energy, but now the green policies have become too expensive.

In 2015, Denmark set a new world record by generating the equivalent of 42.1% of the country's total energy consumption by wind. Denmark is also the world's largest exporter of wind power equipment. So it’s fair to say that Denmark is perhaps the world’s leading wind power nation.

In 2012 a 95% majority in the Danish parliament arrived at a political agreement for 50% of energy consumption to be from wind power by 2020, and 84% by 2035.

The Danish government has now completely changed its mind.

Danes pay some of the most expensive electric bills in the world.

The Danish consumers and companies pay the highest prices for electricity within the European Union, EU, according to an analysis from the European Electricity Association, Eurelectric.

The analysis showed that in 2014 a staggering 66 percent of the average Danish electricity bill went to taxes and fees, 18 percent to transportation and only 15 percent of the price was for the electricity in itself. Only Germany came close with 52 percent in electricity taxes

It's interesting since GOP voters always talk about low info voters on this side of the aisle.
