Wind Power: a Key Step for Clean Energy

The video discusses the growing reliance on wind energy in Europe, with Denmark leading in wind power production. It highlights advancements in turbine technology, including larger blade lengths and the use of carbon fiber. The video also covers power management techniques and safety features in turbines. On the Danish island of Bournham, wind energy is being used to recharge electric vehicles, optimizing efficiency with smart technology. Finally, the video touches on the European Union's carbon trading system, which prices carbon pollution through a market mechanism.
