US' Giant Step for Wind Power

in environment •  8 years ago 

Despite climate-change denier or Drumpf's insane Cabinet picks, green tech is marching forward in the US. Deepwater Wind, with the help of GE, opened its first off-shore windfarm near the Rhode Island coast. Block Island Wind Farm is intended to power 17K homes with generated energy. This constitutes the nation's first offshore wind farm. Thanks for leading the way and I look forward to more in the future!

    But does it produce a lot of noise as well?
