The offshore wind terminal would facilitate the creation of an offshore wind farm roughly 20 miles west of Eureka, which in theory would help generate renewable energy for the entire state, though many hurdles remain.
AURORA, Colo. Port leaders believe they are part of the solution to capturing renewable wind energy off of their coasts and under their operation with giant wind turbines that float on the water.
Ocean wind farms are essential to electrify California's grid with 100% clean energy. But they're a giant, costly experiment & no one knows how hundreds of towering turbines will transform the remote North Coast.
A project labor agreement with a cluster of construction unions was approved unanimously Thursday night to build the planned heavy lift marine terminal in Humboldt Bay. The meeting of the Board of Commissioners of Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District was unusually packed and had to be moved into the Wharfinger building.
The public comment period for the plan for a marine terminal to be constructed in Humboldt Bay has been extended to August 25. This follows a well attended meeting on the subject, held as part of the CEQA process to collect public input on environmental impacts.
