Live healthy lives among wind turbines, that is. More than five years of research on fish that live around the Block Island Offshore Wind farm, on the Atlantic coast, shows that – surprise?- the fish are having a great time eating mussels. Migratory birds may not be thriving around wind farms, but they're getting safer. Also, Allen and Rosemary discuss hydrogen. It does not appear to be ready for prime time, even as Siemens Energy begins mass producing electrolyzers in 2023. Now, what about thermal batteries?
