But federal officials are throwing roadblocks—canceling funding, paying companies to abandon wind projects for oil and gas—creating serious hurdles for deep-water floating turbines. Undeterred, California is betting on long-term infrastructure and waiting out the current administration’s hostility. While new data suggests the state may miss its 2030 target, investors remain skeptical about floating wind’s market viability amid tech and economic risks. Yet industry leaders are bullish, arguing global demand and the urgent need for clean energy will drive explosive growth in the coming years.
