Wind is an inexhaustible, clean resource.
Norwegian companyWorld Wide Windhas designed an innovative floating, vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT).
They could offer a route to large-scale, less-expensive wind energy production.

This produces more electricity.
Dense fields of CRVTs, unlike conventional wind turbines, can easily turn to meet the wind.
These turbines are also animal-friendly, especially given the slower speed of the blades.

They can even be made in part from recycled materials.
In short, these promising turbines are one more step in the march to renewable energy.
