It's also easier for them to just jam turbines wherever cause they can just take the land needed. While much of the optimal space in the US is privately owned so it takes a little more to get a project off the ground.
I work in wind and we are working almost beyond capacity to keep up with turbine demands. Last year was the biggest year ever in North America for my company.
Right on brother. We’ve got a ton of mills popping up in VT. All along the “blue” hills around Rutland. Even southern VT is kicking it into gear and installing a bunch of turbines along the ridges. I think Jiminy Peak in Western mass is mostly green powered. And they will be 100% in a few years.
just curious how Hydro comes into play. That’s basically dammed rivers ?
