States take the lead on regulation of planning, site selection, leasing and other elements of offshore wind projects in the Great Lakes, though the federal government has a role as well.
Two experts describe how climate misinformation has infiltrated the election campaign – and how Australians can protect themselves as they head to the polls.
AI could help close cybersecurity vulnerabilities at offshore wind farms.
Offshore wind power can play a starring role in Australia’s future energy mix. It sure beats nuclear and coal, offering advantages in scale, availability and proximity to both users and the grid.
Two new wind farms began producing power in 2024, but several canceled contracts have left a dark cloud over the industry. A wind power expert explains why US offshore wind has been slow to scale up.
This marine ecosystem is so important it’s one of the main reasons the federal government has greatly reduced the area available for offshore wind farms in the region.
A recent study focusing on how offshore wind farms in Massachusetts waters could affect endangered right whales does not call for slowing the projects, but says monitoring will be critical.
New research shows European lobsters are using the deposits of rocks and boulders at the base of wind turbines as shelter.
Offshore wind turbines are getting bigger and bigger – and many of them now float – here’s how we stop them drifting away.
Building offshore wind farms is complex and expensive. But with plenty of wind coming in from the sea, New Zealand could harness the renewable resource as it aims to decarbonise the energy sector.
A new acoustic recorder could track the movements of marine mammals more accurately.
Meet the Canary Wharf-sized wind turbine with Big Ben-sized blades.
Some of the most powerful offshore wind is over water too deep for a standard wind turbine. Engineers found a way around the problem.
Australia must map out the best sites for generating the most electricity with the least environmental impact.
The US is a latecomer to offshore wind development, but President Biden has set big goals for expanding it. The Gulf of Mexico has good conditions and a large offshore energy industry.
The regionalism that fuels the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry is also found in U.S. attitudes about energy production, a new study shows. That could have repercussions for the renewable energy transition.
Their underwater foundations cause different layers of the ocean to mix together.
Millions of years of on-off ice ages have left behind a mix of different sediments.
The Biden administration is proposing a big increase in offshore wind power. A former state official explains how regulators find the best sites and balance competing interests.
