A plan to build a utopian urban oasis in the windswept hills of Northern California’s Solano County now has a splashy website, which aims to tout the controversial project’s benefits and win over wary locals.

The site describes the proposed development — called California Forever — as a walkable community that will help solve “regional infrastructure needs, including energy, transportation, water and wildfire protection.” The website features painted images — resplendent in pastels and presumably depicting the planned city — that evoke Italy’s Tuscan countryside, albeit with wind turbines in the background.
