Investments in wind power that Denmark started making over 40 years ago are now starting to pay dividends—and large ones at that. Analysts at the Danish Energy Association predict that by 2016 wind power will overtake coal and natural gas as the country’s cheapest source of energy. Two new onshore wind power facilities will be up and running in 2016 which will give the final push of driving the cost of wind energy down to 5 euro cents per kilowatt per hour, which is about half of what it would cost if the same amount of energy was sourced from coal or natural gas.
