Is .wind a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?

A narrow keyword address for wind-energy firms; most serious players will keep their .com, leaving modest niche use.
wind-energy developers, turbine service and consulting firms, and renewables marketers wanting a keyword identity; a small long tail of sailing and kitesurf brands
In Journey To The West's published portfolio of 323 strings submitted in the ICANN 2026 round. Their catalog line: “Energy captured from moving air.”
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Identical bet: a plain resource noun that doubles as the name of a renewable-generation industry, sold to the developers, turbine/panel makers and installers in that vertical who would put their primary identity on the category word itself.
Same category-noun-as-industry-identity bet aimed at the same power-sector buyer, but one level up the taxonomy — the umbrella sector rather than the specific generation technology, so it competes for a broader and vaguer registrant base.
Also a generic word monetized off the green-energy/sustainability wave, but it is a positioning adjective a company adopts to signal virtue rather than a literal description of what the registrant does, so the registrant motive is marketing rather than industry membership.
