Some 30 km off the coast of mainland Denmark in the North Sea, 91 turbines generate 209 MW - enough electricity to power 200,000 Danish households...
Bristling at a censure issued by the International Atomic Energy Agency over its failure to comply with weapons inspectors, Iran vowed to significantly expand its controversial nuclear program by constructing 10 large facilities capable of generating 20,000 MW of electricity and 250 to 300 tons of nuclear fuel annually.
