For many years, the Gedser Wind Turbine, situated in southeast Denmark, was the largest in the world. Johannes Juul designed the turbine in 1956-57, and to this day wind turbines are built according to largely the same principles - with the added bonus of modern technology, of course. When in 1975 the USA first embarked on wind energy research, NASA used the Gedser Wind Turbine as a model. The Gedser Wind Turbine became a symbol of Green Denmark, paving the way for the sustainable 'windmill' at the Tvind School Centre in west Denmark, among others. And the world's leading wind turbine manufacturer is Vestas Wind Systems situated in Randers, also on west Denmark's Jutland peninsula. Today, parts of it are exhibited at the Electricity Museum near Bjerringbro.
This book describes the further course of justice, in which we, thanks to skilled lawyer assistance, finally secured the historic tower from being blown to pieces. The book includes the history of the Gedser Wind Turbine, newspaper clippings, and the presentation of facilities at the mill area.
