Massive solar plant weans NV off of expensive fossil fuels

The world's third-largest solar power plant outside Las Vegas helps to wean Nevada off of coal- and natural gas-powered electricity, which will become more expensive with a cap on carbon dioxide emissions. The plant, which produces zero emissions, generates enough capacity to power 14,000 homes.

@agostomi It's obvious, if you're calling fletcho a moron, that YOU are the one who has done no research.

Uh, turning the deserts into a vast dust bowl, no! Turning it into a giant black field is obviously a no no.

However, using billions of post driven COOL mirrors (without the need to bulldoze) is the final solution to unlimited SOLAR thermal power with molten salt and graphite heat storage.

LFTR (Liqiud Fluoride Thorium Reactor) may be the only "better" solution. Less Pstuff (as normal reactors), is virtually weapons grade "safe" and is definitely unlimited.

CSP provides much more jobs though!

fletcho you are a moron...do some research then speak...please.

what a joke , we will make it viable , only by making other forms of eletricty cost more ! so eletricty will cost 2 to 3 times as much, just crazy, build some nuke plants and work on solar and wind till it is viable .
