INCREASING energy demands and the need for clean power generation have propelled European countries such as Germany and Spain to lead the world in the field of wind energy.

Denmark, a small country of just 43,000sq km, has now built the world's largest offshore wind park in the North Sea. The wind park, 20km offshore, will generate 75 per cent of Denmark's electricity needs with wind energy by 2025. Denmark will host the UN Climate Summit in 2009 and wants to lead the way in the fight against global warming.
