How Wind Energy Could Power Earth ... 18 Times Over | Dan Jrgensen | TED Countdown
Over the last two decades, the wind power industry has grown at a dizzying pace. (Fun fact: a single rotation from one of the world’s most powerful wind turbines can generate enough electricity to charge more than 1,400 cell phones.) Building off this exponential growth, Denmark’s climate minister Dan Jørgensen lays out his plan to end the country’s oil industry by 2050 and transition to a fossil-free future powered by wind energy.
Countdown is TED’s global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. The goal: to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, in the race to a zero-carbon world. Get involved at
