However, Trump administration policies that hinder wind energy development could have a negative impact on the U.S. wind sector in the coming years. Over the last decade, there have been significant advances in wind turbine technology as companies worldwide invested heavily in research and development. This has been supported in several countries by the introduction of favourable policies, which support the deployment of onshore and offshore wind energy. Researchers have made strides in wind turbine design and development in recent years, helping to improve the efficiency and production capacity of windfarms worldwide. Several new wind-production technologies are expected to be rolled out in the coming years, including innovative floating wind turbines, airborne power stations, and bladeless turbines.
