Danish wind giants

Vestas (originally an agricultural equipment manufacturer) and

Bonus Energy (created by an irrigation system manufacturer, which was bought by Siemens in 2004), helped make

Denmark a wind energy powerhouse, not just within

Denmark, but globally. By 1985, about 85% of the total installed wind in the world was in California and about half of that capacity had been delivered by

Danish manufacturers, notes Stiesdal.
