On July 10, the British edition of The Guardian published a material with the promising title "Wind power plants provided 140% of Denmark's energy consumption".
Unfortunately, these data turned out to be not entirely correct, and the critics of the edition note that the editorial board of the edition lost objectivity in covering climate issues and was too carried away by its information campaign directed against the use of fossil fuels. At the first glance, it may seem that Denmark has completely ensured the consumption of electricity through the use of renewable energy, but if to look at the material in more details, it'll turn out that it says only on one "unusually windy" day.
Nevertheless, this small success was presented by the media as the full-scale victory of wind power. Moreover, the representative of the European Wind Energy Association Oliver Joy cited this material, saying that 100% of the transition of the world's energy sector to renewable energy sources is no longer a fantasy. The author of the material, Artur Neslen, also said that British wind power industry can only envy the Danish successes after the termination of state subsidies.
All this has led to debates between proponents of wind energy and adherents of the use of traditional fuels, such as the President of the Center for Industrial Progress Alex Epstein, who published a number of articles and books on the use of hydrocarbons.
