“When you walk over to the coast and feel the wind blowing on you 20 to 30 miles off the California coast from our Oregon border all the way down to Mexico,” said David Chiu, San Francisco City Attorney, “there is enough offshore wind to power the entire electrical grid: clean, green, 100% renewable, which is remarkable.”

David Chiu, San Francisco City Attorney, former CA Assemblyman, is the co-author of the CA offshore wind law and was the keynote speaker at the Summit.
