Something Rotten? Obama Says Danes Receive 20% of Their Power Via Wind; New Study Tells the Real Story

Danish experts visit Washington this week to explain to American audiences what’s really happening in Denmark

WASHINGTON – President Obama has frequently cited Denmark as an example to be followed in the field of wind power generation, stating on several occasions that the Danes satisfy “20 percent of their electricity through wind power.” The findings of a new study released this week cast serious doubt on the accuracy of that statement. The report finds that in 2006 scarcely five percent of the nation’s electricity demand was met by wind. And over the past five years, the average is less than 10 percent — despite Denmark having ‘carpeted’ its land with the machines.

So your contention is that we should not believe the fossil fuel industry-funded fact sheet and report and believe the one funded by the American Wind Energy Association?

Anyone that knows anything about statistics knows that they can be twisted into whatever the writer wants to have the reader believe. Just look at the global warming myth.

I think that the TRUTH is somewhere in between.
