False. At least provide some kind of citation for such an exceptional claim. Source: https://windeurope.org/wp-content/uploads/files/about-wind/statistics/WindEurope-Annual-Statistics-2018.pdf https://windeurope.org/wp-content/uploads/files/about-wind/s... 1.5 WIND POWER GENERATION Denmark had the highest share (Percentage of the average annual electricity demand covered by wind) (41%) in Europe in 2018. The figures represent the average of the share of wind in final electricity demand, captured hourly from ENTSO-E and corrected thanks to national TSOs and BEIS data.

Electricity no energy yes. It's 17% of the danish energy usage. Not sure what you want proof of. Wind and solar are intermittent sources which makes them seasonally irregular and requires backup energy from other more stable sources such as coal, oil, gas and nuclear. https://www.windpowermonthly.com/article/1490548/danish-wind-output-down-summer https://www.windpowermonthly.com/article/1490548/danish-wind... http://cphpost.dk/news/scorching-summer-causes-electricity-price-hike-in-denmark.html http://cphpost.dk/news/scorching-summer-causes-electricity-p...

  You claimed “Last year Denmarks weather was amazing, which meant no wind at all.“ then went on to talk about coal, this was explicitly about electricity generation. Your claim was absurd and provably false. We can have a civil and normal discussion about the downsides of renewable intermittency if you want, or you can make absurd claims like that and I think most people will take you for some kind of crank.

    What are you talking about? Last years weather were amazing and Denmark did get electricity from coal in germany. If you want ti have a civil discussion perhaps start with yourself. This is not something i am making up.
