Energy crisis? Not for the Danes

What’s life like without a cheap and endless supply of petroleum? Ask the Danes.

The country was almost totally dependent on the imported fuel for its energy needs when the world was struck by an oil crisis.

War in the Middle East and an oil embargo sent the country a painful wake-up call — oil isn’t forever.
Things were so bad that during some winters, people closed off rooms and lived in the dining area, remembers engineer and energy specialist Niels Bahnsen.
It shocked the country into rethinking its energy policy and every Dane into just how much he was using.
