For Don Quixote, the hapless hero of Miguel de Cervantes’ 17th-century novels, the windmills that dotted the dun-colored plains in the central Spanish region of Castille-La Mancha were illusory giants in need of slaying.

GE Tanda Tangan Kontrak Pertama Offshore Wind Turbine Terkuat Di Dunia
John Lavelle sudah melihat banyak mesin bertenaga besar selama hampir empat dasawarsa sebagai seorang insinyur GE. Namun, belum ada yang menyamai kekuatan Haliade-X, turbin angin lepas pantai (offshore wind turbine) bertenaga paling besar di dunia yang kini sudah beroperasi. Turbin ini memecahkan rekor dunia pada awal tahun ini ketika mampu menghasilkan daya listrik sebesar 288 megawatt-hours (MWh) dalam sehari. Daya sebesar itu cukup untuk memenuhi kebutuhan listrik dari 30.000 rumah di Rotterdam, yakni lokasi prototipe pertama.

Dr. Rachel Brem and her husband, Henry, were hoping they just had the flu. It was early March, before COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, was widespread in the United States. Henry got sick first. For a little while, it was easy enough to dismiss his extreme fatigue as a passing issue. But then Brem, too, began to experience symptoms, some of which were known at the time to be associated with COVID-19 — such as a deep cough, muscle pain and a fever — and others that only became identified later, such as the loss of her sense of smell.
