The pact that would float hundreds of turbines off the coast of Morro Bay and Humboldt Bay was touted as a breakthrough to eventually power 1.6 million homes and help the state and federal government reach ambitious climate change goals through clean energy production.
The plan includes floating 380 windmills across a nearly 400-square-mile (1,035-square-kilometer) area that is 20 miles (32 kilometers) northwest of Morro Bay.
The California wind farms would produce a combined 4.6 gigawatts, with the Morro Bay operation providing two-thirds of that output.
Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, said he included $20 million in his revised budget proposal this month that would help expedite environmental review of the projects.

Polluting the coastal areas
Not this shit again...
As I have no intentions of visiting California, I fully favor their plans to put hundreds of windmills in view of their residents.
Put em all outside Streisand’s house.
Nuts. All of them.
Woe unto birds that this way fly.
Ask not who the blade flies for..
‘Green’ Energy has an untold price to exact from Mother Nature.
Now bringing the ugliness of Palm Springs to the coast.
Better ways to make power. And unnecessary to screw up the view of the California coast. Idiots.
Get ready for this crap to happen all along the scenic coastline. This is just the start.
They’ll put this crap out there and then stop the fishing etc etc etc
4.6 gigawatts?!?
Doc Brown smiles*
How’s that high speed rail coming along?
Riiiiight. With the first barge scheduled to set sail by 2040. Unless, of course, there’s some sort of delay. Or unexpected increase in price.
Never a shortage of taxpayer funded boondoggles.
But, but, but, they are so ugly, they pollute the scenery.
The left won’t be happy until it destroys every rural and coastal vista with endless wind and solar farms.
Meanwhile, the oil continues to seep through the ocean floor off the California coast unabated.
ALSO, what a TOTAL EYE SORE. Horrific destruction of formerly beautiful coastal scenery.
And how come the so called 'environmentalists' IGNORE the mass killing of sea birds which is sure to result from coastal wind farms?
Anyone care for some PELICAN STEW to wash ashore?

Floating? With extension cords?
The site put up for lease? Just what is the Maritime limit? Who is leasing it? Calif? Biden?
Power for 1.6 million homes? How about all those homeless folks? Are they left out? Need to charge those phones!
And tar balls will still continue to leak out naturally.....
