But let me ask a different question. Can Denmark set up Leyden jars?
Industrial
size leyden jars to store electricity? Or are Leyden Jars a poor
storage of electricity?

[/quote]
How silly of me. Come to think of it, a Leyden jar is a capacitor is
a
battery. And I suppose lithium ion batteries are the world's most
advanced battery and thus the most advanced Leyden jar. So the
answer seems to be clear. To build a gigantic Lithium battery the
size of a huge building and which the excess electricity of the
windmills goes into charging this gigantic lithium battery.

Li and Na sources are not like oil and gas
we can take energy from them.

All energy in Li or Nas based electrical systems
must be first stored in them.
Either electricaly, either by chemical preparation.
What you can take is what you have given, not more.

But, on the other hand,
they are recoverable, in opposite to oil.
When cell is old, there is still Lithium inside.

Did you count that electricity from rechargeable cells
is about 2 order more expensive than from power lines ?
And electricity from rechargeable cells is still
about 2 orders cheaper then from primary one time cell ?

Do you realize that we are not concerned with cost, but to storage
excess electrical
power when the wind is blowing. Your frame of mind is on a wrong
track. What Denmark
wants to realize is to save excess power when the wind is blowing.

Interesting, but I do not see windturbines on Denmarks ocean coasts
able to
pump water since there is no mountain elevation to create a water
turbine.

We ? Are you sure you can speak for the Denmark ?

Storing energy not concerning cost is foolishness.

Much more effective and cheaper solution is
to sell electric power to other countries
if wind is blowing, and to buy if not.

Or, converting electricity to thermal energy or potencial water energy.
the latter is not obviously applicable to Denmark.

Using of wind born electricity
to heating underground media basins
has an advantage to existing solar heating of it.

In cold season there is less of light, but more of wind.

Contrary to popular belief among Yanks, the USA is not the centre

for energy hungry American land-lubbers.
Gawd I love it when I disagree with Jocaby!

A lot of wind may blow across the North Sea but you need to compare
that to the amount of energy that flows out of an oil pipeline. And
look at how thin the blades are on "modern" bird-killing "turbines"!
Crap, most of the wind is going right through doing nothing! Compare
to ancient Dutch jobbies!

Correct spelling is centron, Hellènic for ecklen, or its stem-

in centron; its ending meseems is instrumental [accusative], thus
ecklen in English. Centre is fine. ("sènt[w]r" is still not.)

It may make sense in Denmark, though I doubt it. Most of this wind

to solve ANY energy problems.

If there isn't enough windpower to supply as much enegy as we want, but
it comes out cheaper than the second-best solution, then it makes sense
to push it even though it won't be a complete solution.

What bothers me is the possibility of rare storms that damage the
equipment. We really don't have a handle on just how rare those storms
will be, so it's easy to assume that wind power will be more profitable
than it actually turns out over the decades. I don't see any real
solution to this -- the best estimates are still our best estimates even
if they aren't very good, and I can't in good conscience argue that the
damage will be worse than expected. But there's a strong possibility
that repair costs will turn out significantly higher than expected, and
it's hard to factor that possibility into investment decisions.
