The future of wind energy might lie in floating monster machines. Offshore floating turbines have been launched in Norway. The machines are capable of harnessing wind energy miles out at sea.
These turbines are unique as their mobility allows constant access to high-speed winds. They outperform their counterparts fixed on the seabed in terms of energy production.
The technology is expected to become widespread in the next decade. It presents a potential solution to climate change.
However, floating wind farms face challenges. These include extreme weather conditions and maintaining the delicate undersea ecology.
