Prevailing Winds in Denmark*

The town of Blavand is the closest point of land to the Horns Rev offshore wind farm.  When the project was first proposed some of the residents voiced concern over their tourism based economy.  In fact, residents of Blavand make over ninety percent of their income from tourism.  On their trip in January, members of Clean Power Now and other residents of the Cape and islands spoke with locals and visitors about the concerns regarding the wind project before it was built and the real experience afterwards.  Watch what these local and vacationing Danes have to say about the offshore wind farm.
