Irish Eyes Are Smiling

The Irish government has okayed plans to build the world's largest offshore wind farm. The $630 million project will have three times the electricity-generating capacity of all current offshore wind farms worldwide; its 200 turbines will produce 10 percent of Ireland's power. When completed, the project will help Ireland cut its greenhouse gas emissions by about 13 million tons per year. Some of the turbines will be up and running by the fall.
