rules, ii) robust inancial support mechanisms, iii) the existence of organiza-
tions concerned with environmental protection, and iv) the establishment
of socially sensitive ownership patterns of wind farms. 150 In targeting a 50%
contribution by wind power to electricity supply by 2020, the challenge of
managing all four of these factors will be ampliied. Danish philosopher
Søren Kierkegaard is purported to have said, “Life has its own hidden forces
which you can only discover by living.” It remains to be seen whether or not
the forces that have supported stellar wind power development in Denmark
will continue to propel wind power difusion to new heights or whether
some of these other hidden forces alluded to in this chapter will rise up and
alter Denmark's energy landscape.
