The two towers, installed near Rhode Island last week, are the first-ever offshore wind energy turbines to go up in U.S. waters. Deepwater Wind, the project’s developer, said it expects to install the last three towers by the end of August.
“It’s a very exciting time for us, and it’s a very anxious time,” Jeff Grybowski, CEO of Deepwater Wind, told Mashable. “We’re very proud to be leading the way in this new renewable energy industry for the United States.”
