Offshore wind leases off California
The federal government will auction off leases for offshore wind production in 583 square miles of deep ocean waters off Humboldt County and Morro Bay. The areas, about 20 miles offshore, have the potential to produce more than 4.5 gigawatts to power about 1.5 million homes.
