But the more fundamental lesson is the power of modularity. It was modularity that enabled learning so rapid and growth so explosive that Denmark was able to revolutionize both wind power technology and its own electricity supply faster than anyone expected, including the innovators themselves, and in less time than it takes many countries to deliver a single “one huge thing” project. That’s huge and fast. That’s the model we need: “many small things” manufactured at scale and assembled like Lego, click, click, click.
