The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has announced an ambitious plan to build the world’s largest floating offshore wind farm off the Izu island chain.
Aiming for completion by 2035, the project is designed to produce at least 1 gigawatt (GW) of power to supply both the islands and mainland Tokyo.
Currently, the world’s largest operational floating farm is in Norway, but it produces less than 100 megawatts. Tokyo’s vision is ten times that size. If achieved, this power output is roughly equivalent to that of one nuclear reactor.

Imagine an earthquake would at worst cause some debris floating in the water rather than radioactive waste getting blown into the atmosphere and ocean.

Those numbers can’t be accurate OP – There are three offshore wind farms with larger capacities than 1GWe around the UK alone already.. Seagreen Phase 1 (1.4GWe) and Hornsea 1 (1.4GWe) and 2 (1.2GWe).
unless they are making the distinction of „floating“, which would seem odd…?

Wind power is a scam, didn’t they listen to Donald Trump?? Lol
