    I think they should have went with wind. Lol
    At least this spring.

    Cheap natural gas was probably the main reason.

      What a waste!

      Also now apparently LED blue light spectrum is wrecking the retina if eyes, especially the eyes of young uns. Holy Crow, didn’t I just spend the last six months changing over? Oh, man this smelling every fart is getting tiring. Now good light-bad light, and pretty soon no light because the enviro - wackos will deny us that right too.

          Its is a solar thermal plant not a solar photo voltaic (PV). Solar thermal plants work much better in hotter drier climates.

          Solar PV on the other hand are much cheaper systems and can produce lots of electricity right here and now, even in our northern winters. That is why so many systems are getting installed on farms across the prairies.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivanpah_Solar_Power_Facility

          The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a concentrated solar thermal plant in the Mojave Desert. It is located at the base of Clark Mountain in California, across the state line from Primm, Nevada. The plant has a gross capacity of 392 megawatts (MW).[6] It deploys 173,500 heliostats, each with two mirrors focusing solar energy on boilers located on three centralized solar power towers.[6] The first unit of the system was connected to the electrical grid in September 2013 for an initial synchronisation test.[7] The facility formally opened on February 13, 2014.[2] In 2014, it was the world's largest solar thermal power station.[8][9]

            I’ll believe you when you tell me that yoursgenerates all your power. 😤

              Bullshit chuck I have solar thermal, its nearly double the efficiency of photovoltaic.

                Are these the “green jobs” that Trudeau, Suzuki, Gore and others have been promoting?

                What a waste of taxpayers money.
