The future of wind power

How floating wind turbines and power-generating kites could help fight climate change.

Could floating wind turbines and kites that generate electricity help fight climate change?

There are lots of innovative new ways people are harnessing the power of the wind.

We visit a floating wind farm off the coast of Scotland, check out wind turbines on street lamps and see how much power giant kites can generate.

Along the way we investigate the massive potential of wind energy and assess the challenges involved in catching the breeze.
