Though North America lags Europe on the wind energy front, with less cumulative installed capacity despite a vast geographical size difference, growth is strong and has only scratched the surface. Huge potential, particularly, exists in offshore installations, which represent just a small percentage of global wind capacity to date.
Ocean-based turbines, both floating and fixed, take advantage of powerful, more consistent wind speeds and a topography that doesn’t obstruct wind flow.
