Up close with the wind farms taking shape on U.S. East Coast
Offshore wind turbines roughly three times the height of the Statue of Liberty were spinning off the coast of Rhode Island on Thursday, sending clean electricity to the region.
Wind farms are taking shape and operating along the East Coast, even as President Donald Trump seeks to end the U.S. offshore wind industry.
He often talks about his hatred of wind power and calls turbines ugly.
The Associated Press traveled roughly 100 miles and saw three of the five wind farms in the area.
