Wind Energy Is About to Change Everything (Here’s What’s Coming)

Wind turbines stretching 300 meters into the sky—taller than the Eiffel Tower—will soon harvest energy from powerful offshore winds that current technology cannot reach. These next-generation installations represent just one breakthrough transforming wind energy from a supplementary power source into the backbone of Ontario’s electrical grid within the next decade.
The limitations holding back today’s wind farms are giving way to innovations that sound like science fiction but are already moving from laboratories to real-world deployment. Floating turbines that can venture into deep waters, bladeless designs that …
