Morro Bay is a small fishing village of roughly 10,000 people, known for its iconic view of a volcanic rock off the coast. A new project would add about 200 floating wind turbines in the distance.

Others are banking on what the farm brings to the region — jobs and a big step toward California’s goal of reaching 100% clean electric power by 2045.
