The three-bladed turbine's massive size and hypnotic rotation are impressive. With an estimated lifespan of 20-30 years, I'm curious to see how this Long Island wind farm fares against Mother Nature's Atlantic storms. Regional customers👋 wondering how/when/if their electric bills will be effected need only refer to the power agreement executed between LIPA and the wind farm proprietors/maintainers. It's a lavatory-worthy read.
I'm cautiously positive this is a promising step for the future of off-shore, utility-scale wind power generation in the U.S.
Ultimately, off-shore wind is but one of multiple power generation solutions the U.S. must incorporate in continuing to build a successful portfolio of reliable, resilient, and sustainable renewable energy resources.
Stay tuned... #windpower #sustainability #renewableenergy
No, if you put a windmill on every piece of land that could hold one, they still wouldn't meet the growing demand for energy... I have an Fluid Mechanical Puzzle for you... What happens when you blow air through a tube? Answer; It makes 12 megawatts of Electricity. You guys seem pretty smart, can you tell me HOW it works?
