Wind turbine-generated power:back to a favorite topic

Sunday we boarded a cruise liner in harbor, Copenhagen, where we observed numerous wind mills turning. We left Copenhagen late afternoon for Warnemunde Germany sighting more numerous windmills along the way. We left there via Rostok for a 3-hour road journey to Berlin, sighting even more land-based windmills.

I am looking forward to seeing more of these turbines in the U.S. We were told that wind furnishes ~20% of Denmark's electrical power, a figure I have not checked for accuracy. The sight of those windmills was not unpleasant to us. The Danes and northern Germany citizens along the way did not express displeasure either.
