A giant offshore wind turbine, located in Denmark, broke the record for most energy produced in 24 hours. The turbinegenerated 216,000 kWh in a 24 hour test. That is enough energy to power the average American household for 20 years. It stands 722 feet tall, with 263-foot-long, 38-ton blades. MHI Vestas Offshore Wind built this turbine, and many other offshore wind farms across Europe. This turbine is a prototype, but it has proven that it is ready for the market.
