Stanley Reed. (2016). A Danish Wind Turbine Maker Harnesses Data in a Push to Stay Ahead. Retrieved from http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/19/business/energy-environment/ denmark-vestas-wind-renewable-energy.html on September 3, 2016.

Denmark is planning on installing hundreds of new wind turbines in the Fosen Peninsula, employing the company Vestas Wind Systems. In the past, Vestas has gone through many ups and downs of their company, struggling when there was a large decrease in turbine orders, forcing them to sell almost two thirds of its factories. However, Vestas is still up and running today, with the goal of making wind energy not just a secondary source of energy, but rather a primary one.

This article relates to environmental science because the company, Vestas, wants to shift from nonrenewable energy over to wind energy, which is renewable. Although previously it was thought that it was impossible to install wind turbines on the Fosen Peninsula, Vestas persevered, making many data and math calculations to determine the exact type of turbine needed. I think that it is great that this company has pushed through their troubles and is continuing to promote wind energy.
