Misleading information about renewable energy

Several articles were praising Denmark for producing enough electricity from wind to power the entire country on Feb. 22, 2017[1]. However, this is not at all true and an example how media is twisting the information to manipulate people to believe that wind energy is so clean. Figure 1 shows that despite the large amount of electricity from wind, gas and coal fired plants in Denmark continued to pollute the country. This, since most of the electricity from wind was exported to Sweden and Norway with already very clean energy production. At a time where Denmark supposedly “ran entirely on wind energy”, 36% of its electricity came from fossil-fuel-based power plants.
