A Public Offshore Wind Farm. For Many, This May Seem Like a Futuristic Plan, But This Is Exactly What You Are Reading. The News Has Already Been Inaugurated.

Currently, generating energy from wind farms has become popular in Brazil, especially in the Northeast region. However, the novelty presented in this article is not in Brazilian territory but in the United States.

This is because the first commercial-scale offshore wind farm was inaugurated in the United States. According to reports, this project, titled South Fork, began in January 2022 in the state of New York. Now, ready, the novelty can supply up to 70,000 households.

According to reports published by the American media, the construction of the public offshore wind farm was done by a Danish company called Ørsted in partnership with the American utility Eversource.

Details About the Public Park

The South Fork Wind has a total of 12 turbines. These devices go out to sea and have the capacity to generate 132 megawatts of clean energy. According to the official website of the wind farm, two peninsulas: Long Island and Rockaways, located in New York, are already being supplied.

However, the maximum generation capacity has not yet been reached. In any case, the project has generated excitement, since it was initially planned that the initiative would generate much less energy than it is currently producing.

By the end of January, South Wind had achieved the mark of 50% installation, with six of the 12 turbines ready for use. As reported, this energy coming from the wind farm will be directly connected to the electrical grid in East Hampton, which is a neighborhood located in New York, via a single transmission line installed.

More Wind Energy in the U.S.

Wind energy production in the United States has seen a significant surge in recent years and promises to grow even more in the future. Evidence of this is that, recently, the government of President Joe Biden approved five offshore wind energy projects.

Among these projects is the Revolution Wind, which would be capable of supplying 350,000 people. These approvals align with the goal of the United States, which plans to have the capacity to supply 10 million people with this type of energy by 2030.

With these projects approved by the government, the country would reach a number of 2 million, meaning the expectation is that new programs for offshore wind farms will emerge to meet American targets.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

A producer from Santa Catarina started with a poultry farm of just 7,500 birds in 1994 and three decades later manages 21 farms thanks to a simple strategy he learned early on.

China wants to eliminate diesel trucks, betting on electric models that can cut oil consumption by up to 50%, reduce pollution, and change cargo transportation worldwide.

Melting ice is altering the planet’s weather, days are getting longer, Earth’s rotation is slowing down, and scientists are pointing to a phenomenon not seen in millions of years.

More than €600,000 in gold hidden in pots and an “invisible” safe inside an old house turns a small French town into the stage for a discovery that reveals how entire fortunes can remain buried for decades without anyone noticing.
