To summaries Denmark is not a good example when talking about Kyoto - its probably one of the worst examples
I agree on your comments on Denmark not being a good example when buying CO2 quotes from countries. Actually the option to buy/sell CO2 quotes is good for the environment globally since the industries can gain profit by filtering their chimneys etc - even though it can sound crazy.
The economic calculations for this are however quite complex to explain.

You are wrong when stating that the biggest problem is that coal is used to produce energy, and that the only alternative is wind energy. As a matter of fact many power plants in Denmark have converted to using gas from "Nordsøen".

The converting proces from coal to gas has been an on-going for years now. It is all described in the so-called "Energiplan 2000".

Besides that I agree with you
