Notably, Block Island, off the coast of Rhode Island[1], is powered 100% by five offshore wind turbines.[2] The Block Island generators were switched off in 2017. It is awe inspiring to see the turbines up close via boat. It feels like a vision of the future.

[1]: for international users: Rhode Island is a small US state which is not actually an island.
