Source: The world’s southernmost wind farm uses just three turbines to help power U.S. and New Zealand research bases in Antarctica, cutting diesel consumption by about 122,000 gallons a year and preventing an estimated 1,242 metric tons of CO₂ emissions despite operating in one of Earth’s harshest environments
