The forces driving wind’s expanding share of the global energy market remain strong. Public sentiment and government incentives increasingly favor wind along with other renewable energy sources. The business thesis sees companies increasingly adopting ESG guidelines, often pushed into doing so by big banks, pension funds and mainstream institutional investors like BlackRock Inc.

The image of wind turbines spinning across an amber Midwestern landscape has come to represent sustainable development throughout the United States. This pleasant visual only begins to scratch the surface of the opportunity wind presents to investors. The scope and scale of domestic wind energy is growing rapidly, and now presents a viable alternative to oil and natural gas along with robust environmental, social, and economic benefits.

It’s hard to miss the news on renewables and other clean energy technologies today, which has ranged from unprecedented cost reductions to investments in new multibillion dollar renewable and hydrogen plants, electric vehicles, and commitments to decarbonize.

To develop a wind farm in post-fact America, first listen. Picture a majestic wind turbine collecting energy out of thin air. Now picture it close enough to see each day as you come and go from your house or farm, with blades big enough to span a football field, yet still light enough to turn in the wind.
