Watt's Up with Offshore Wind in California

Preliminary findings in the report set planning goals of 3,000-5,000 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind by 2030 and 25,000 MW by 2045, enough electricity to power 3.75 million initially and 25 million homes by mid-century.

Wow! Very nice. 5 GW by 2030 would be great to see. For those that do not know, the largest units currently available are 15 MW each, so that calculates to 333 units across the 5 California Wind Lease Areas that will be up for auction by BOEM soon. BOEM's Final Sale Notice (FSN) is next on the agenda and will last for 30 days so check their site out for that. BOEM and CEC are doing a great job getting all the critical stakeholders involved in this monumental and worthy process and goal. Thank you.

Too slow. I thought Californians cared about the environment. Stop building a train to no where and get this done!!!
