A key concern in the conversation over floating offshore wind’s potential to disrupt the clean energy space is how the technologies would impact marine life. Researchers developed fiber-optic sensing capable of monitoring surrounding acoustic signals, such as whale calls. This allows scientists to monitor how FOSW operations might impact large marine mammals. (Credit: Jenny Nuss/Berkeley Lab)

Previous research has shown that the locations of businesses such as grocery stores can result in inequitable access to goods and services. Could the locations of rooftop solar businesses similarly help explain, among other factors, why rooftop solar adopters earn higher incomes, on average, than non-adopters? In a new paper published in the journal Energy Research and […]

In the United States, the towers of new wind plants often measure greater than 90 meters in height and the rotors themselves can extend another ~60 meters up. The tremendous height of these structures means that wind speeds far above the surface can impact wind generation. The ability to accurately characterize wind speeds at these […]
