US has a lot of land mass and quite good land wind power areas. AFAIK the ocean shores of the US are quite deep. All contrary to UK or Denmark.

- fatnoah 7y agoDespite not directly stating it, the article does create the impression that wind power is not a thing in the US, however it is indeed a thing and offshore is a growing part of it. From Wikipedia: As of January 2017, the total installed wind power nameplate generating capacity in the United States was 82,183 megawatts (MW).[3] This capacity is exceeded only by China and the European Union.[4] Also from Wikipedia: On August 8, 2016 the Massachusetts governor signed Bill H.4568 which mandates that Massachusetts utilities obtain 1.6 GW of offshore wind power by 2027 Behind the curve? Yes. Ignoring wind? No.
