In September, in the night between the 27^th and the 28^th, between 2:10 and the 7:30 (weather permitting), the lucky ones saw a huge moon and a total eclipse. Those who woke up on purpose, certainly didn’t regret it! But why does such an event take place? The former is due to the fact that on that night the moon was at its closest point to Earth and then appeared much larger than usual (we immediately think about the legendary scene in the film “Bruce Almighty”); then there is the total eclipse of the moon, with the sun’s rays that, for reflection, make it appear red. Two shows rare in themselves that become unique if they occur simultaneously. The next similar show? You have to wait for other 20 years, in 2033. It is true that waiting increases the desire…

This year Denmark has produced so much electricity from renewable sources that it has managed to sell it to its neighbours, giving a big hand to the whole European continent with the aim to reduce to zero CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. The fact, nothing short of remarkable, took place in a particularly windy day for Scandinavia (Thursday, 9 July), when Denmark was able to produce 116% of national electricity needs thanks to the wind, the wind energy. At night, when energy demand of the Danes declined further, as much as 140% was touched. So the country was able to sell the surplus to Germany, Norway and Sweden, also thanks to an efficient connection and distribution electricity system. “This shows that a world fed 100% by renewable energy is not fantasy”, said Joy Oliver, spokesman for the European wind energy association. The Danish operator Energinet has even announced that wind farms in the country had not even reached their maximum production, totalling an installed capacity of 4.8 gigawatts (GW). All this shows that an increase in the number of wind farms as well as photovoltaic plants could bring Denmark to cover half of its energy needs with renewable sources only well before 2020, the year that Copenhagen has set as a deadline.
