Jul 20, 2025 - The $11 Billion Offshore Wind Farm That Could Power 660,000 Homes



Off the coast of Virginia, an engineering marvel is rising from the sea. The Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project is one of the largest renewable energy builds in U.S. history—featuring 176 turbines nearly as tall as the Eiffel Tower, foundations heavier than jumbo jets, and over 1,000 kilometers of buried underwater cables. But how do you construct such massive structures in the middle of the ocean? In this video, we uncover the extreme engineering behind the $11 billion wind farm, the environmental and political challenges it faces, and how it could shape America’s clean energy future.
