Wind Turbines vs Hurricanes


 
Scientists have recently discovered an interesting fact about wind turbines. Not only can they create energy for us by harnessing the power of the wind, they also reduce wind speeds by up to 50%. Testing has shown that placing a large array of wind turbines along the most common paths of hurricanes would minimize damage by reducing both wind speeds and storm surges before they hit the coast.
