A floating wind turbine the size of a baseball field is bobbing off Maine's coast, proving a fantastical technology can work. Despite recent setbacks, researchers worldwide are collaborating to bring clean energy to places traditional turbines can't reach.
Two new wind farms in Croatia just started pumping clean electricity into the grid, marking a major milestone in the country's renewable energy journey. The combined facilities will prevent 135,000 tonnes of carbon emissions every year.
Sweden is launching a major wind power research hub with over $10 million in funding to help double the nation's electricity supply. Nine universities and 13 industry partners are joining forces to tackle unique challenges from forests to sea.
Sweden is launching a groundbreaking national wind power research center with over $10 million in funding to tackle its doubling electricity demand. Nine universities and 13 major energy companies are joining forces to develop solutions for Sweden's unique landscapes.
A new offshore wind farm off the Netherlands coast is pairing turbines with massive batteries and hydrogen production to solve a problem that's slowed renewable energy growth. The 795 MW OranjeWind project stores extra power when the grid can't handle it, then releases energy when people need it most.
Giant wind turbines floating on ocean platforms are working in real-world tests across the globe. After years of international teamwork, this clean energy technology is ready to grow from small experiments to full-scale power sources.
When a fierce storm snapped a wind turbine blade on King Island, repair crews chose to rebuild instead of scrap, extending the island's renewable grid by a decade. The fix keeps a tiny Australian community running on nearly 100% clean energy.
A Canadian company just announced the largest private investment in Nova Scotia history: $7 billion for AI data centers powered entirely by wind energy. The project will create 2,000 construction jobs while proving clean energy can power our digital future.
A new University of Missouri study reveals that renewable energy projects are bringing real economic growth to rural communities across the Midwest. Counties hosting wind farms saw GDP increases of 7%, while solar projects created thousands of jobs in construction and utilities.
A former coal mining site in Pennsylvania just became home to 19 wind turbines generating enough clean energy for 32,000 homes. The $1.5 billion project shows how old industrial land can power a brighter future.
America's clean energy revolution reached a milestone in early 2026, with wind and solar generating more than one-fifth of the nation's electricity. This marks a significant leap forward in the transition away from fossil fuels.
Researchers created a revolutionary material for wind turbines that can be recycled into everything from car parts to edible treats. The breakthrough could solve one of renewable energy's biggest waste problems.
