Sep 12, 2026 - Can Ocean Wind Energy Power California?


Although California is known for championing renewable energy, wind power has played only a modest role in creating power for Californians compared to solar. But the state has big goals to dramatically increase the amount of energy generated by wind energy by placing hundreds of wind turbines off the coast. But engineering, cost and political challenges might stop California`s wind power revolution before it even begins.
Wind energy has powered parts of California for decades, but what role will it play in the state`s clean energy future? From the turbines of the San Gorgonio Pass to ambitious plans for floating wind farms off the coast, experts examine wind power`s potential and the economic, technological and political challenges facing its expansion.
