GE Vernova Pays Nantucket $10.5 Million for Busted Blade

GE Vernova Inc. will pay $10.5 million to the town of Nantucket, Massachusetts, after one of its offshore wind turbine blades broke into pieces and washed ashore last year.

The incident sparked outrage in the wealthy island community, where residents criticized the temporary beach closure and damage to its otherwise pristine coast. The busted blade served as a visual setback for an industry already grappling with high interest rates, supply chain problems and mounting hostility from the Trump administration.
