wind turbines

Limited by manufacturing, labour, and transportation challenges, current wind turbine technologies have faced some stiff headwinds. GE thinks 3D printing can double the height of its turbines without breaking the bank.

Renewable energy statistics just keep topping each other. Solar power is getting cheaper. Battery storage capacity is getting better. And wind farms are getting bigger. 2019 saw the world’s biggest (at the time) offshore wind farm come online, as well as construction of the biggest offshore wind farm in the US off the coast of […]

As with any large infrastructure project, the quest for bigger and taller turbines comes with its fair share of challenges. But wind turbines are one of the most cost-effective and technologically sophisticated forms of renewable energy, and as the developed world comes to grips with climate change, we will only see more of them.
