Aldyen Donnelly: About Denmark’s clean economy
Denmark’s economic recovery—from the financial crisis that hit Scandinavia in 1990—over the last 2 decades is anything but a transition to a green economy. "Experts" who remark only on Danish green technology exports are failing to tell the whole story.
It is true that Denmark consumes less imported coal than it did in 1990 (Denmark has no domestic coal reserves). But 50% of Danish electricity, steam and heat supply still derives from the combustion of imported coal.

Aldyen Donnelly: The double standard of international carbon credits
On the global environmental front, a major problem is that the Kyoto Protocol rules say that we get carbon credits if we invest in/build a wind farm in China even if China continues to build a new coal-fired generation unit every week. But when we build the same wind generation capacity in Canada, there is no reportable GHG reduction unless/until we also shut-down and equivalent amount of fossil-fired power generation capacity.
Canadians do not understand this bias in the Kyoto Protocol yet, but when they do they will not be supportive.
