Three w
21、indmills(风车) were recently introduced in a Copenhagen neighbourhood, and the city plans to add another 97.“Weve made a very ambitious commitment to make Copenhagen CO2-neutral by 2025,” Frank Jensen, the mayor, says. “But going green isnt only a good thing. Its a must.” The citys carbon-neutral plan
22、, passed two years ago, will make Copenhagen the worlds first zero-carbon capital.With wind power making up 33% of Denmarks energy supply, the country already features plenty of wind turbines. Indeed, among the first sights greeting airborne visitors during the landing at Copenhagens Kastrup airport
23、 is a chain of sea-based wind towers. By 2020, the windswept country plans to get 50% of its energy from wind power.Now turbines are moving into the city and these ones will cost less than half the price of those sea-based. Having the energy production closer makes it cheaper, and land-based turbine
24、s are the cheapest possible source of energy available today. Fixing them also makes the locals more aware of their energy consumption.Though considerably less attractive than it was in ancient times, the windmill is enjoying popularity in the 21st century. “Windmills are a symbol of the new and cle
25、an Copenhagen,” says resident Susanne Sayers. Meanwhile, fellow Copenhagen citizen Maria Andersen worries about the noise, explaining that she wouldnt want a wind turbine in her neighbourhood. While Copenhagen citizens approve of the windmills, theyre less willing to live close to one. The answer, t
26、he city has decided, is to sell turbine shares.Each share represents 1,000 kW hours/year, with the profit tax-free. With a typical Copenhagen household consuming 3,500 kW hours/year, a family buying four shares effectively owns its own renewable energy supply. To date, 500 residents have bought 2,50
27、0 shares. Involving the local population was a smart move. “There are a lot of things you can do close to people if its not too big and if theres a model where locals feel involved and get to share in the profit. Knowing that you, or your neighbours, own a technology creates a very different atmosph
28、ere than if a multinational owned it,” says Vad Mathiesen.Going green? Yes. Accepted by the population? Yes. Going with centuries-old city architecture? Hardly.Certainly, the three turbines dont exactly blight the 18th-century city centre, as they are in a neighbourhood 3 km away. According to the m
29、ayors office, none of the remaining 97 turbines will rise in architecturally sensitive areas. But Sascha Haselmayer, CEO of city creation group Citymart, warns, “With Denmark being a world-leading producer of windmills, there is a risk that the answer to every energy question is windmills.”“Weve des
30、troyed mountains and lakes in order to support our lifestyle,” notes Irena Bauman, an architect and professor at Sheffield University. “Wind turbines are a sign that were learning to live with nature. I hope well have them all over the world,” she says. “They may be unpleasant to some, but better-lo
31、oking ones will come. Its just that we dont have time to wait for them!”41.
