The majority of the energy the country generates - which powers America's homes, internet, and urban infrastructure - comes from fossil fuels, and isn't renewable or sustainable.
A possible solution? Wind farms.
GE and Deepwater Wind, a developer of offshore turbines, are installing five massive wind turbines in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. They will make up the first offshore wind farm in North America, called the Block Island Wind Farm.
Over the past several weeks, the teams have worked to install the turbines 30 miles off the coast of Rhode Island, and are expected to finish by the end of August 2016. The farm will be fully operational by November 2016.
