Good points all...

As to Denmark's energy status- it's true that they (like most of us) depend on non-renewables. Still, 20%>0%, right? I don't see any reason to phase out non-renewables immediately, but Alternative sources can only help things out...eventually (assuming we gradually increase use of Solar/Wave/Wind/Geo sources) our mass-consumption should rely far less on coal and oil. This won't happen overnight, our infrastructure needs to be overhauled-power storage needs to be improved among other things-but it can happen over the course of a mere Decade or so, given enough incentive.
