White House announces plan for wind farms off California’s coast

Federal and state officials have announced plans to develop two wind farm sites off the coast of California.

The projects could ultimately generate enough electricity to power about 1.6 million homes, the White House said Tuesday. Wind power is a key part of President Biden’s plan to shift toward renewable energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The two announced projects are a major step toward the White House’s goal of doubling US offshore wind production by 2030.
