Danish  Energy Giant Ørsted Now Among the World’s Largest Renewable Energy Companies

From the article linked below:

A decade ago, the largest energy company in Denmark based its business on fossil fuels and was responsible for a third of the country’s carbon footprint. The company has since changed its name—from Danish Oil and Natural Gas (yes, that’s DONG) to Ørsted, named after a Danish scientist—and is now among the largest renewable energy companies in the world. By 2025, it plans to be carbon neutral, making it the first major energy company in the world to reach that goal.

In places all around the globe, the private sector is doing its best to transition from fossil fuels to renewables.  As frequently discussed, this doesn’t happen unimpeded; most of the oil giants are doing their best to grind all this to a halt.  But in places like Denmark, the people are so eco-conscious that they support clean energy unequivocally.
