Oh no, now we got to invade that country ...

@randahl

You might need to check your sources. Maybe there is an issue with the year of that data or what power consumption it refers to:

Wind power in Denmark - Wikipedia

(en.wikipedia.org)

The US' percent of power generated isn't as good but we do have a lot more than I thought we did:

P.S. Wind power is not a "loser". Our president projects a lot of his own insecurities.

@randahl

Honest question. In Denmark, are your houses heated with electricity or gaz?

I live in Quebec and most of our houses are heated with electricity, so when we hear 92% from wind turbines, it blows our minds because the largest part of our electricity usage goes to heating and it is a lot.

If your houses are heated with electricity and your produce 92% of it with wind turbines, well, I'm impressed.

@randahl

Every day I love Denmark a little more.

@randahl

Trump is a dummy.

@kevinrns @randahl Do you have a higher-res version of that?

@kevinrns @randahl

He’s not a dummy, he’s a liar and a conman. He doesn’t care one way or another about power, except you can bet he’s taking money from oil companies.

Everything he does is about ego or extortion.

@randahl

Translated.

@randahl

Do you honestly think any significant percentage of the people on Mastodon agree with what Trump says?

@randahl we're all sharing the same planet, anyone looking to destroy it for a healthy profit should be answering to everyone, not just their own citizens. Nobody should have enough money to be able to launch shit into space. If so, they better have a reason that benefits us all, or they need to go.

@cmthiede I think you were right the first time - nobody should have that kind of money, period. Inexcusable failures of public policy to let it happen AND not claw it back IMO. @randahl

@randahl
When “Trump calls wind turbines "losers"” he’s projecting - HE is the ‘BIGGEST loser (also - to be rude which I’m not because I’m a lady - he’s a BIGLY gaslighting GASBAG).

I don’t know why they [people of the US] don’t fire him.

Meanwhile, other people, who live on this planet, adults, winners, Danes & Australians* & many others, get on & do the right things… as you say: “in Denmark, our wind turbines currently produce 92 percent of all the power consumed.” Yay! Good for you Denmark! Thanks for showing the way.

* we just came through a multi-day heat wave in my state, South Australia, with no loss of power; here’s our national broadcaster on the current state of power sources & costs: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-29/australia-hits-power-demand-record-as-renewables-pass-50pc/106280246

So true: “Anything Trump calls a "loser" is just something he and his owners don't control.”

@randahl

Meanwhile, right now, New Zealand is running on 99% renewable electricity.

@zl2tod @randahl Does New Zealand just have campaign finance laws that prevent bribery?

@PatrickoftheG

Not sufficiently, sadly.

Every time the Bad Guys are in power they roll things back. They are in power now.

@randahl

@zl2tod @PatrickoftheG @randahl yeah, sorry about our part in that, eh

Ta.

Yeah he is a big part of the problem, but he's just the monkey. Sadly a monkey with considerable power.

@PatrickoftheG @randahl

@randahl@mastodon.social Yeah, well, let's face it, Trump is a blithering reality-challenged moron who thinks that windmills kill whales or something.

@zl2tod
Yay! Good on you NZ! 99% renewables at 4pm!! 🥳
