Yes, Denmark leads on wind turbine production. But Denmark's homes, factories, offices, shops, hospitals, centres of education, military sites and motorways cannot rely on wind power around the clock because the turbines do not work for the majority of the time and wind levels are often too weak or too strong to turn the blades of the wind turbine eyesores. The same applies in every other country of the world.

Wind turbine electricity costs a great deal - thus pushing up prices in Denmark (and admirable nation, of course - but an expensive one for many, too).

We should keep nuclear as the main source of electricity generation here and supplement our electricity supply in the UK with solar and hydro power and not with these ugly and inefficient wind turbines.
