'Roughly 17 miles off Morro Bay, the U.S. government plans to lease an area just smaller than Hong Kong to wind energy companies to create more electricity than Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant’s 2,200 megawatts.
Though the ocean may seem vast and fathomless, the proposal has already identified that commercial ships and the U.S. Navy are active in the 376-square-mile area — a fact that required a negotiation with the Navy Secretary.
It has also set off alarm bells for fisherman in Santa Barbara and in neighboring harbors.
Power turbines harnessing the wind grow larger every year, with the most powerful the height of the Statue of Liberty with a wingspan of two-and-a-half football fields. They’re being tested in Denmark and the Netherlands, rated to generate 15 megawatts of power, enough to run 18,000 European households".

The “sweep” of the blades consumes an area equal to a very powerful force of nature wiping out the bird population, do these turbines hold up in 30 ft seas?
What about the foggy days? .
