It’s coming, but more slowly than advertised. Fossil fuels, in absolute terms, are still on the rise because of population and economic growth.
Failure of the imagination can help explain the reluctance to take the wholesale lunge into green energy. Going quickly from black to green in, say, electricity generation, seems a megaproject too far, an unfathomable exercise in science fiction, theoretically possible but about as easy as building a colony on Mars.The trouble for the naysayers such as Mr. Ford is that greening up the economy in a hurry is no longer an option. It has to be done to prevent catastrophic climate change.
The criticism was not lost on the Danes. They cleaned up their act in a hurry by focusing their green effort on Orsted, the state-controlled energy company that was then known as Dong, short for Danish Oil and Natural Gas. At the time, Orsted emitted fully one-third of Denmark’s planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions. Since 2006, it has reduced those emissions by an astonishing 83 per cent.
How Orsted went from small and dirty to big and clean is a remarkable story in perseverance. But first some numbers that reveal the importance of going green if the goal of keeping average global temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees over pre-industrial levels is to be achieved.

globebusiness Globe and Mail is such a trash propaganda publication.
globebusiness Of for god’s sake. Denmark has fewer people than Toronto! Stop these facile useless comparisons to support your position. There is no comparison. It’s like comparing Canada to China. What Denmark does irrelevant. Just like what Canada does irrelevant re China

HuffPost is now a part of Verizon MediaBut don't forget, FordNation was also proud of his brother, while Rob Ford offering up his wife for sex. I guess Rob had too much to eat at home, and needed to share! ONpoli How many companies will still retain a CEO if he caused a loss of $231m to the company? The failures join politics because they know they can get away because people are stupid ~ DougFord 'That government also said the total cost would be $230 million, but a year later, the auditor general said it was actually $1.1 billion.' Jesus. His petroleum friends take his priority over everything else, including Ontario's debt and climate change 😖
