Not a breezy-looking future: Challenges Face U.S. Wind Energy in 2024 and Beyond

Douglas McIntyre and David Callaway discuss the challenges facing the wind energy sector, particularly in the U.S., and highlight the financial strain caused by rising interest rates, supply chain issues and the high cost of wind turbines and offshore setups. While wind energy may recover in Europe, they predict a particularly difficult period for U.S. wind energy under the incoming Trump administration. They also note issues with turbine durability, citing examples of broken turbines in Nantucket and the Philippines, including American-made GE Vernova turbines.
