Denmark:
Total Energy Use: 254,444 x 10^6 kWh
Total Electrical Production: 54,981 x 10^6 kWh
Total Electrical Use: 39,582 x 10^5 kWh
Fossil fuel use for electricity: 43,325 x 10^6 kWh
I take 2/3 of the 43,325 from the total: 254,444-.67*43,325 = 225,416 to
roughly account for the thermal efficiency problem. Then 39582/225416 would
give 17.6% electrical. Sorry about the mistake, but my main point is still
that replacing _electrical_ generation with renewables only addresses a very
small part of the overall problem of fossil fuel dependence|global warming
concerns|finite fuel supplies. All discussions of renewables for the future
need to talk about the TOTAL energy use.
