The holy grail for any U.S. administration remains energy independence.
能源独立是美国历届政府的必杀技。

Denmark is nearly one-fifth of the way there. And they plan to do it entirely on renewable energy.
丹麦也即将做到这一点，而且已经完成了五分之一的征途。丹麦计划在未来完全使用可再生能源。

According to BP's annual statistical energy review released last week, the Danes now get 18 percent of their energy from renewables, which is the highest level of any country in the world.
根据英国石油公司上周发布的年度数据显示，丹麦18%的能源已经使用了可再生能源，位列世界第一。

And the BBC reported in April that the current Danish government wants to have the country running solely on renewables by 2050. This would make them the first country to achieve such an accomplishment within that period. The proposal has won support from across the country's political spectrum.
今年四月，BBC曾经报道过，本届丹麦政府希望在2050年前可以全部使用可再生能源。这就意味着丹麦将成为世界上第一个完全使用可再生能源的国家。该提议已经获得了丹麦各党派的支持。

Meanwhile, the U.S.' share of renewable consumption remains trapped at 2 percent.
同时，美国在利用可再生能源方面，始终维持在2%的程度上停滞不前。
