According to Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende, Denmark will have the world largest windmill seapark up and running by 2012. The park will consist of 100 giant windmills for starters. That will cover 5% of all danish electronic use.
This is only the beginning though as the official goal is to cover 30% of all energy use, with green energy, by 2030, compared to the 15% of today.
The race to develop and market environmentally friendly cars is getting fiercer. As the price of gasoline hits record heights and people are becoming more concerned about global warming, car companies are increasingly investing in ‘greener’ cars. One car manufacturer showing a massive commitment to alternative vehicles is the Nissan Motor Company that has been in the news several times within the last week.
On Tuesday, Japan’s No.3 car manufacturer confirmed its plans to launch an all-electric car in the U.S. and Japan by 2010. The New York Times called Nissan’s move “the first by a major automaker to bring a zero-emission vehicle to the American market.” Nissan also envisions having a broad range of electric vehicles in the future and wants to be the world leader in zero-emissions vehicles.
A lot of green vehicle plans for Nissan. “We are convinced that the mass availability of affordable zero-emission vehicles is the most significant breakthrough our industry could deliver, and, together with Renault, Nissan intends to be the breakthrough leader,” said Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn
