How offshore wind foundations became accidental reef habitat
BY THE OPTIMIST DAILY EDITORIAL TEAM When engineers drove 54 steel cylinders into the sandy seafloor southeast of Long Island to anchor Empire Wind 1’s turbines, the goal was simple: keep 810 megawatts of generating capacity upright in the Atlantic. What happened next was quite unexpected. Research from Taiwan’s Formosa Wind Farm, where 69 turbines have been running in similar sandy, reef-free water since 2017, offers the closest thing available to a preview of what the New York seabed may becom
