"Power to the People - Energy Consumption in Denmark"

[Iterate]

21. Every nation needs to find its own solution.

The Danes are not imposing their solution on anyone else.

I can see how outrageous you would think it was for someone you've never met to suddenly triple the electricity price in the US, especially for people with low wages. I'd be pissed too. I've lived that life.

But for the Danes, it's a price they've imposed on themselves. And it doesn't stand alone, it's part of a package. Wages are high, unemployment benefits are high, and you don't even need to own a car if you don't want to, on and on. There's far more to it.

So even though electricity and restaurants are expensive, Danes and their fellow Danes can afford it. Income equality is the highest, or nearly the highest, in the world.

That kind of cooperation works in their economy as well - 9th leading exporter, mainly of manufactured goods, machinery, and food. But it's not a model for every nation.
