03 July 2012 - Like many, Al Maiorino sees Denmark as a flagbearer of renewables and a country whose example we should all follow, despite its size. “Denmark’s example of being friendly towards clean energy may be a step in the right direction to improve the environment and protect our planet,” Al points out.
It’s no surprise when the United States makes headlines for its advancements in the field of solar, wind, or other forms of renewable energy. After all, for the past century, the United States has had a reputation for being a leader in innovation. Now, in 2012, the world is a much smaller place than it used to be. Advancements in knowledge and technology are changing the field of energy at a rapid-fire pace. Yet it seems like the United States is still divided on how to proceed with clean energy initiatives. If the international community is to continue to view us as a forward-thinking country, how can our attitudes as a nation toward clean, renewable energy be so far from agreement?
To learn more about what obstacles America still faces to a renewable energy future, I examined other countries around the globe to find countries that are successfully implementing renewable energy measures, and how they are able to implement them. Surprisingly, one of the most successful pioneers of renewable energy worldwide is The Kingdom of Denmark. Denmark is a Scandinavian country in Northern Europe that has a population of approximately 5.5 million. Although it is has been a member of the European Union since 1973, Denmark’s most significant contributions to the energy world were and are by far those it accomplished on its own. read more>>>
