Floating Windmills/Emerging Science Note

Modeled on deep-sea oilrigs, windturbines harness the strong, consistent wind far out at sea.

Living on Earth’s Jessica Ilyse Smith reports that researchers are working on wind turbines that will float on water. Modeled on deep-sea oil rigs the floating windmills will be able to harness the strong, consistent wind far out at sea.
