Danish Wind and Ions (Intro to Solid-State Chemistry)
Losing electrons, gaining electrons, why does it matter? Why does it matter? Well, we made a solid last week. Today, the answer is obvious. It matters because of Danish wind, obviously. 43%, in 2014, 43% of all the electrical energy in Denmark came from wind. It's higher now. But see, now, this is a quarter of the Danish wind. I only gave you a two minute hemodialysis why this matters on Wednesday. So I'm going extended today just a little bit. Danish wind, people are very dependable. So over a three-month period, this is how much we need, energy, electricity. But look at the wind supply. Sometimes it's really there for us. Sometimes it's not at all there. Sometimes it's predictable. Sometimes it's not at all predictable. With that much of your electricity coming from this type of unreliable resource, that is a huge challenge. I mean, even if you go out to Arizona and you talk about solar subsidies, Arizona is sunny all the time. No, not sunny all ...
