OffShore Wind Turbines Capture Carbon

What is happening? Massachusetts and New York coasts will soon be home to the first federally approved utility-scale offshore wind farms – 74 turbines in all that could power 470,000 homes

Why is this important?  marine geophysicists are working to pair wind turbines with carbon capture technology to store carbon it in natural reservoirs under the ocean. Currently the largest project of this type is in Iceland.

How will this be important? The offshore wind carbon capture would use excess wind energy to power the capture and storage of carbon
