The promising news about renewable energy keeps pouring in. By now, we hope you are convinced with us that there’s no problem providing the world with clean power. A new study has found that wind speeds over the oceans could allow offshore turbines to generate far more energy than a land-based wind farm – with the North Atlantic, in particular, theoretically able to provide enough energy for all of human civilization. And, offshore wind energy is safer to bird life and less disruptive to humans.
