The Biden administration’s first-ever offshore wind energy lease sale for federal waters off the West Coast generated more than $750 million, as energy companies competed for five areas that could eventually be home to massive floating wind turbines.

Five companies, including Equinor and Invenergy, bid on five lease areas totaling more than 370,000 acres off the coast of Northern and Central California. The two-day lease sale concluded on Wednesday. When developed, the leased areas near Morro Bay and Humboldt County have the potential to generate enough green energy for up to 1.6 million homes over the next decade, administration officials said last year.

The New York lease sale “was just a perfect storm of all the right factors coming together to create a very, very expensive auction,” said John Begala, vice president for state and federal policy at nonprofit the Business Network for Offshore Wind. “I don’t see that happening again anytime soon.” The lower bids in this week’s lease sale were due in part to the unique challenges of developing wind energy off the West Coast, Begala said.

This is awful!! What about our sea birds and marine life?! This should be illegal.

Aren’t those offshore wind farms killing fish? What a mess!

Hmmm. Can we wait ten years for this to happen? I do not think we have time right? Why wasn’t this done under Roomba Admin. He swept it all up! $$$$

Is there any national infrastructure proposals that would overhaul our grid to meet our sustainable energy goals?

I wonder what the fishing industry was like here before they built these.

Trash.

Why can't they design turbines that generate electricity from both the wind and the movement of the water?
