Though if we had all just switched to nuclear power in the eighties we wouldn't be having these problems today.

And lets not be too unfair to China, their population uses significantly less CO2 per capita than either the US or Denmark.
And its the value per capita which is the only fair measurement.
Denmark produces how much of the raw material for infrastructure? Isn't Denmark a net importer of steel and similar industrial goods?"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

2015 Steel Production figures
Japan makes the list but is in fact an iron and coal importer.
Unlike Wiki's export chart, the EU isn't lumped in here.
Denmark, CIA Factbook
Denmark has a steel industry but no significant exports. It's significant imports include 'raw materials' - unspecified. It's major exports are manufactured goods (including Legos! which is their coolest export ever!).
In other words, I can't find evidence of a significant coal, iron and steel industries."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

The decline in the coal mining industry is due to costs, world competition of different energy resources like Natural Gas, and not due to any government policies nor legislation."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
