Sounds hard to believe but the small Danish island of Samsø has achieved this remarkable feat. It achieves this primarily through wind power, but also has solar and other types of renewables. According to Mr. Jesper Kjems in the video, most types of renewables available in Denmark can be found on Samsø. It came about through local cooperation from the community, which strongly believes in renewable resources. It’s fitting that the country hosting the upcoming COP15 is a leader in renewable resources. The viability of doing everywhere can be called into question, of course. Denmark’s circumstances are politically and economically speaking, ideal for this type of project. Even so, hopefully this example will spread to other places. I would love to see more of this in the United States in the future.
