A large offshore wind farm, Vineyard Wind, is facing backlash after a turbine broke and debris fell into the ocean near Massachusetts.

Debris from the turbine continues to wash up on Nantucket beaches, upsetting residents who were initially supportive of the project, which was supposed to power 400,000 homes.

The company and the blade manufacturer GE Vernova are working to clean up the debris and fix the problem.

However, people living in the area are worried about the environmental impact. Some have criticized the push for offshore wind development without enough consideration of the risks.

Energy experts believe the incident is just a temporary setback in the broader shift away from fossil fuels.
