Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. For these green products to be competitive, the sites will have to offer low power-generation costs and will have to produce power at near-full capacity much of the time.
