The bar chart shows how much electricity was produced by wind in four countries—India, Denmark, Germany, and the U.S.—between 1985 and 2000. Overall, the amount of energy generated by wind increased in India, Denmark, and Germany, while the reverse was true for the U.S. Although there were minor fluctuations, the U.S. remained the leading producer until it was surpassed by Denmark in the final year.
Starting with the countries that exhibited larger figures, the U.S. initially produced significantly more energy compared to the others, accounting for 1,200 megawatts in 1985. The figure then rose to just above 1,600 megawatts in 1990 before falling slightly to around 1,500 megawatts by 2000. Although Denmark showed smaller numbers up to 1990, it then surged from just over 200 megawatts in 1985 to a peak of approximately 1,640 megawatts in 2000, overtaking the U.S.
Turning to the countries with relatively lower figures, India generated the least amount of electricity in 1985, at a low of 200 megawatts. The figure then rose steadily throughout the period, reaching 1,200 megawatts in 2000 after converging with Germany’s level a decade earlier, which stood at 800 megawatts. As for Germany, it produced 400 megawatts in the initial year and saw consistent growth over the 15-year span, ending at just over 800 megawatts in 2000.
