The Great Lakes are a geographically unique location for offshore wind. The region does not experience the extreme weather that is seen on the East Coast, and there are major cities all along the Lakes. Additionally, electricity grids, ports, and other infrastructure from retired coal plants still exist which could be useful for these wind projects.
"The approach has two climate benefits, said CEO and co-founder Todd Brix. First, it uses CO2 that’s captured as an industrial waste from facilities such as biogas and bioenthanol producers or it’s pulled from the atmosphere using a direct air capture device.

Lamenting the “obscene” energy demands artificial intelligence (AI) will command, a recent New Yorker article asks, “How can the world reach net zero if it keeps inventing new ways to consume energy?” The energy needs of cryptocurrency mining and clean-tech manufacturing have also raised concerns that the world will not meet climate targets. The reality...
